PLA Wood filament Elegoo PLA Wood (Indian oak) for 3D printing, natural wood-infused PLA, compatible with FDM printers

Elegoo PLA Wood (Indian oak) is a wood‑infused PLA filament for FDM 3D printers that produces prints with a natural, matte wood appearance and a subtle wood scent. The material combines plant‑based, biodegradable PLA with fine wood powder to give models a realistic texture while keeping printing as simple and reliable as with standard PLA.

Advantages

The filament offers a stable printing experience typical of PLA while delivering a distinctive, deep wood texture and natural shades that make finished parts look handcrafted. Its matte surface reduces the need for post‑processing, and the biodegradable base material provides an eco‑conscious option for creators seeking a woodlike aesthetic.

Suitable for

• Decorative parts and artistic models
• Scale models and architectural mockups
• Hobby and craft projects requiring a wood appearance
• Prototypes where surface texture and visual finish matter

When it may not be suitable

This filament is not intended for high‑temperature or load‑bearing applications: its heat deflection and Vicat softening temperatures are modest compared with engineering plastics. Very fine mechanical parts that require maximum tensile elongation or extreme impact resistance may perform better with specialized technical filaments.

Key specifications

• Material: PLA with natural wood powder
• Colour / finish: Indian oak, natural matte wood look
• Density: 1.21 g/cm³
• Melting point: 158 °C
• Vicat softening temperature: 60 °C
• Heat deflection temperature: 55 °C
• Tensile strength (XY): 41 ± 2 MPa
• Elongation at break (XY): 7.5% ± 1.1%

• Flexural strength (XY): 73 ± 0.5 MPa
• Impact strength (XY): 32 ± 1.4 kJ/m²

How to use

Print Elegoo PLA Wood using standard PLA settings on FDM printers. Use a compatible nozzle and recommended printing temperatures around the PLA melting point range, adjusting heat and print speed as needed to obtain consistent extrusion and visible wood texture. Parts typically have an attractive matte finish straight off the printer; sanding or light finishing can further enhance the wood‑like surface if desired.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: not suitable for high‑temperature functional parts
• Printer compatibility: designed for FDM printers with standard nozzles
• Finish expectations: natural matte wood look with visible texture

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with standard PLA temperature settings and adjust slightly to optimize flow and surface texture. Use moderate print speed and ensure good bed adhesion. If a smoother finish is required, light sanding or surface treatment can be applied carefully to preserve the wood appearance.
