LAYWOOD Light Cherry Wood Filament
This Filament Prints Like Real Wood.
Want to print with something really special? Try this fantastic filament was created by the renowned Kai Parthy, and with a little finagling, can be printed to look like real, carved imperfect wood. It doesn't have that cheesy composite feel, and we're really excited to offer this.
This product ships as 0.25kg of LAYWOO-D3 Light Cherry Wood Filament, coiled and ready for action! When heated at varying temperatures, this beautiful cherry wood filament strikes perfect balance between a dark and light toned wood, with unique shading potentials. After you're done printing, take a knife or some sandpaper along with your favorite wood stain to really take the piece to new heights!

You can print the filament in a range from 175 °C to 250 °C. Printing at lower temperatures will produce a brighter color while printing at higher temperatures will create a darker print. The printed wood will appear rough, similar to MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard). Playing a little with the material feed settings brings more craters or a smoother surface.
For an enjoyable experience with wood filament, try LAYWOO-D3!

Printing Tips
At print temperature LAYWOO-D3 is less viscous than PLA or ABS, a few extra steps can help improve your printing experience:
- Adding extra extrusion to the beginning of your print will help prevent dry extrusion during the initial layers.
- Increasing the retraction setting of your part during slicing will reduce 'leakage' while the hotend is moving between sections (especially over open areas).
LAYWOO-D3 will harden over time, for delicate parts allow 30-60 min for your print to set.
Alternating the temperature during your print (even by as little as 10 degrees) will vary the coloration, giving it a 'grained' look.
