— a type of PLA plastic (see the relevant paragraph) containing fine wood dust. Due to this, products made of such material are very similar to the touch to wood, and outwardly they can be almost indistinguishable. Another interesting feature is that by changing the temperature of the extruder, you can change the shade of the material: increased heating leads to a darkening of the wood contained in the composition. The main properties of Wood are similar to PLA, but the amount of sawdust may be different; the higher it is, the closer the finished product is to wood, but the lower its elasticity and strength. Actually, one of the disadvantages of this material is its relatively low strength.It is also worth considering that Wood is poorly compatible with narrow nozzles (they tend to clog with wood particles). This can make it difficult to print products with a high degree of detail.
