An extension of our Matte Fiber line, these rich colours are enhanced with small black flecks to create a wood-like appearance. Ranging from a beautiful soft yellow to deep, dark walnut, weve covered the spectrum and are excited to share their beauty with all of you!
These materials are based in Matte Fiber, but with fine gold pearl and black flecks, bringing warmth, radiance, and texture with just the right tones and sheen youd expect for a premium wood-like finish.

Matte Fiber can create beautiful, rigid parts that dont even look 3D printed. Like wood, Matte Fiber does not bend much before breaking. Please dont use excessive force when loading and printing. Matte Fiber also absorbs moisture like wood, and should be printed at the lowest possible temperature to minimize stringing, over-extrusion, and jamming.

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.
