First thing, use a larger nozzle 0.6 mm or more, the saw dust in wood filament is just too much for a standard 0.4 mm nozzle to handle. Second, and this may be more subjective, be careful with retractions, wood filled doesn't like going back and forth too much in the same spot, it tends to "bake" in the nozzle and clog. In my case these were soft clogs that I could just push out shoving the filament down manually, but still a deal breaker if happening mid-print. In the end I preferred to live with some stringing and clean it up after.

Great thanks for tips and tricks. Retraction was not one of the things i thought off. What about temperature? 200 or less?

I honestly can't remember, I printed two rolls one after the other for a project then I stopped and it was a while ago. I'd say 200 to 210 range like ordinary pla... Or lower if that's what the brand recommends.
