Wood Filled PLA Filament

Filament

Reliable 3D printing filament with a natural wooden appearance
It may sound a little crazy to 3D print with wood, and yet it is possible with our 3d printer. Engineers have found a great way to 3D print wood-like textures. The wood filament is a mixture of traditional PLA filament combine with wood dust. This brings together the versatility of 3D printing with the stylish look of wood.

Properties

Like normal PLA, Wood filament is easy to work with and delivers great reliable results. However, it is slightly softer than pure PLA because the softness of the wood particles affects the overall stiffness of the material.

Printing Wood PLA Filament

When printing with composite materials such as wood PLA, it is advisable to use a slightly larger nozzle. This reduces the chance of blockages. In addition, because of the wood particles, it is also wise to use a wear-resistant nozzle.
