A wood filament

LaywooD3 is a filament composite of recycled wood particles and polymer binders. It prints wood-like objects with annual rings by making changes in the extrusion temperature. A rough or smooth surface is possible during one printing, and it can be tooled after printing with a saw and sander. The surface can be stained and painted.

The printing temperature can range from around 180 degrees Celsius for a bright color to 245 degrees Celsius for a dark wooden color. When the temperature increases, it also increases the "grain" of the wood tone. It prints well on aluminum, acrylic, glass, and tape, and it doesn't require a heat bed.

The material has no warping tendencies.

This filament is extremely sensitive to lower temperatures (60 degrees Fahrenheit and below). It will become extremely brittle in the cold.

LaywooD3 smells like wood, but it should be used in a well-ventilated area. It contains a polymer, so it's capable of releasing small amounts of fumes at...
