    I would like recommendations for wood filament. I would like a filament that changes color with temperature. I need to use a .40mm nozzle. I had terrible clogging problems with one I tried so I am looking for quality rather then code

    I have had excellent results with this:

    ZTW 3D Filament 1.75 - WOOD

    (Zentoolworks) even with a 0.4 nozzle, but they do suggest a larger one and I had better luck with the 0.6 (now I use the 0.8 for everything).
    The wood filaments all suggest a larger nozzle.

    Even they suggest a 0.5 -- supposedly the wood fibers require a larger nozzle.
    Your mileage may vary, I managed it with a 0.4... but it works better with larger.
    Just get a selection of nozzle sizes, some of the other filaments work better with larger nozzles as well.

    I really like their filaments especially the metallics. According to Amazon their main outlet, they are unavailable
