Description
Natural looking wood filaments.
Not only does the FilaPrint Natural wood range look like wood, it positively smells like wood when 3D printing and even when cooled!
The FilaPrint Natural Wood filament prints wonderfully from 205c 235c, at PLA settings, though we do recommend using a 0.5mm or larger nozzle. The test print vases that you see in the photos were printed on a Mini Kossel (Delta Style 3D Printer) at 205/210c hot end temp, with a platform temperature of 50c (though this could have been lowered). It will also print on the majority if not all 3D printer platforms. The actual printing speed for the vase prints was 50mm/sec, this was due to the wider nozzle being used. See additional info below, for other print speeds and temperatures.
What we also love about this filament is the layer bonding, even though the vase prints were at a resolution of just 0.2mm you cannot see any discernible layer lines. It looks truly wonderful.
In addition, when printing with a larger nozzle you can find that it will print quicker as you can up the pace a little bit! It oozes like a piece of sting rather than a line of cotton
Tip!
It is also advised that when you finish a print with your wood filament and printing has stopped for the day, you should purge out your hot end, using some standard PLA filament, just to ensure that any wood residue is removed from the head and chamber, extruding several centimetres of PLA should be sufficient to clear it.
Features and benefits;
- Will print on majority of surfaces
- Superb layer adhesion and bonding
- Has the look and feel of natural wood.
- Very low warp (if at all, no sign on our test prints)
- Biodegradable Wood and PLA mix
Additional info;
As the FilaPrint Natural Wood range of filaments has very low warp (if at all) it can be printed onto a non-heated platform. Though If you have a heated bed the recommended temperature is ± 35-60C.
We also advise a nozzle 0,5mm. The FilaPrint Natural can be printed up to temperatures ~210°c @35-45mms, The FilaPrint Natural Light wood can be printed at higher temperatures up to ~215°c maximum @35-45mms.
Storage: Cool and dry (15-25C) and away from UV light, this will enhance the shelf life significantly.

PLA
Overview
PLA is easy to print, at low cost. Non-toxic and Eco friendly. A perfect starting point for people new to 3D printing.
PLA is created from all-natural renewable resources, and under the correct conditions, is fully biodegradable. This material is typically used for prototypes or decorative prints; Due to the low temperatures and ease of use, features tend to print sharper and more detailed. Its non-toxic nature means that it can be printed for food and medical applications if done so from a sterile and sanitized environment.
However, PLA prints are prone to snapping and breaking under pressure, and become damaged and discolored from high temperatures and prolonged exposure to sunlight or water.
Used for: Design prototypes, Plastic Cups, Medical Implants, Food containers.
