RE: <<|| Wooden watch 3Dprinted ||>>

Thank you, It's possible but it's really fragile :( so its more a challenge than a real factory production ;). Some guys try to do it but i think it's a commercial fail actually : https://3dprint.com/30947/jelwek-wood-3d-printed-watch/

Sort:  

It'd probably need to be made using a stronger type of filament.

those Jelwek guys didn't get the memo PLA is more or less considered a prototyping material X/

Also... their design isn't quite good. it's unique, I'll give them that, but it just doesn't look good.

I'd say it's probably because one of the reasons Wood is so prized as a material is that a good artisan can work with the grain to make pretty impressive patterns. 3D printed wood filament is completely uniform as it is now x/

I like their designs! But they are possibly too fragile.
