Filament manufacturer 3Dom USA has released a new bio-material made from coffee. Called Wound Up ™, the filament is a continuing partnership with Fargo, North Dakota based bio-composite company, c2renew .
The material is made using waste byproducts from coffee. Wound Up ™ uses those coffee left-overs to create a special 3D printing material with visibly unique print finishes. The filament produces products with a rich brown color and a noticeable natural grain. Now a cup printed with Wound Up™ is a true “coffee cup.”
This is the first in a line of intriguing materials from 3Dom USA called the c2renew Composites. More distinctive bio-based products will be released in the near future.
Wound Up™ filament can be printed on any machine capable of printing with PLA and comes perfectly spooled on the 100% bio-based Eco-Spool™. Beautifully packed and vacuum-sealed to keep moisture out. Each spool of Wound Up™ has the diameter and ovality metrics posted right
on the box, so you know that tolerances are tight.

It’s quite nice to print with, the only problem is it’s very fluid at 210 and needs printing with a fan all the time at 190c and can be printed without a heated bed
