About Wood PLA

Wood PLA is a composite filament that blends PLA with real wood particles (typically around 30% wood fiber). The result is a material that looks, feels, and even smells like real wood. Printed parts can be sanded, stained, and finished just like real wood. One unique property is that the print temperature controls the color: lower temperatures produce lighter wood tones, while higher temperatures create darker, more burnt-looking finishes. Use a 0.6mm nozzle to prevent clogging from the wood particles.
