Wood is a new FDM filament that was developed to print wooden-like objects. The filament contains recycled wood with PLA and some binding polymers. Printing at lower temperatures will produce a brighter color and if you adjust the print temperatures to be higher it will create a darker print.
Adjusting the print temperature by as little as 10 degrees will vary the coloration giving the printed object a “grainy” look. The printed wood will appear rough and similar to Medium Density Fiberboard, known as MDF.
Wood filament is less viscous compared to PLA or ABS during printing. Please add a little extra extrusion to the beginning of the print to help prevent dry extrusion. Also, increasing the retraction setting during slicing will reduce “leakage.
” The wood filament will appear delicate after print, so please allow the wood filament to set approximately thirty to sixty minutes after printing.
