Esun PLA-Wood 3D Printing Filament 1KG - Walnut
Aesthetics & Authentic Wood Properties
Material Type: Premium Wood-Plastic Composite (PLA-Based Wood)
Composition: Formulated by blending virgin PLA resin with ultra-fine, purified recycled wood fibers.
Visual & Tactile Finish: Delivers an authentic matte, low-gloss wood texture that looks and feels like real carved wood. Fully paintable and highly receptive to wood stains.
Aroma Profile: Completely non-toxic and eco-friendly, emitting a pleasant, natural wood scent during the printing process.
Ideal Applications: Architectural models, wood-like home decor, art pieces, figurines, and retro-style enclosures.
Physical & Mechanical Properties
Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm
Dimensional Tolerance: ±0.05 mm
Net Filament Weight: 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs)
Tensile Strength: 30 MPa
Elongation at Break: 6%
Bending Strength: 51 MPa
Impact Strength (IZOD): 4 kJ/m²
Recommended Printing Parameters
Nozzle (Extrusion) Temperature: 190 °C - 220 °C (Recommended baseline: 200 °C - 210 °C)
Heated Bed Temperature: 45 °C - 60 °C (Can be printed without a heated bed on painter's tape)
Recommended Printing Speed: 30 mm/s - 60 mm/s (Lower speeds ensure consistent wood-fiber flow)
Retraction Settings: 2.0 - 5.0 mm for Bowden extruders, 1.0 - 2.0 mm for Direct Drive (Keep retractions minimal to prevent clogging)
Hardware Compatibility & Nozzle Requirements
Nozzle Diameter Warning: A 0.4 mm nozzle can be used with fine tuning, but a 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm nozzle is highly recommended to eliminate the risk of wood fiber accumulation and micro-clogs.
Hardware Ecosystem: Universally compatible with all open-source FDM 3D printers configured for 1.75 mm filaments.
Winding: Precision mechanical winding to guarantee smooth feeding without mid-print knots.
Storage & Post-Processing Guidelines
Post-Processing Capability: Can be easily sanded with standard sandpaper, drilled, carved, and stained using commercial wood stains to achieve varying light/dark wood tones.
Moisture Sensitivity: Moderate-to-High (The organic wood particles eagerly absorb atmospheric moisture). Must be stored in a sealed bag with fresh desiccant.
