AB  - Nowadays the use of natural fiber composites has gained significant interest due 
      to their low density, high availability, and low cost. The present study explores 
      the development of sustainable 3D printing filaments based on rice husk (RH), an 
      agricultural residue, and recycled polypropylene (rPP) and the influence of fiber 
      weight ratio on physical, thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of 3D 
      printing parts. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the composite's 
      degradation process started earlier than for the neat rPP due to the 
      lignocellulosic fiber components. Mechanical tests showed that tensile strength 
      increased when using a raster angle of 0 degrees  than specimens printed at 90 degrees , due to 
      the weaker inter-layer bonding compared to in-layer. Furthermore, inter layer 
      bonding tensile strength was similar for all tested materials. Scanning electron 
      microscope (SEM) images revealed the limited interaction between the untreated 
      fiber and matrix, which led to reduced tensile properties. However, during the 
      printing process, composites presented lower warping than printed neat rPP. Thus, 
      3D printable ecofriendly natural fiber composite filaments with low density and 
      low cost can be developed and used for 3D printing applications, contributing to 
      reduce the impact of plastic and agricultural waste.
