Filament Sunlu Wood filament for 3D printers, natural wood-infused PLA, MPN: Wood

Sunlu Wood filament is a wood‑infused PLA for FDM/FFF 3D printers that contains real wood particles to reproduce a natural wood appearance and texture. It is intended for decorative prints, figurines, prototypes and other projects where a wood‑like finish and realistic grain are desired. The filament is compatible with standard PLA settings and gives printed parts a matte, slightly textured surface and a subtle natural scent during printing.

Advantages

The filament contains a significant proportion of real wood particles which produce a convincing wood grain and warm matte finish. Its improved formula offers good flow and low shrinkage for smoother, more consistent printing while preserving fine detail. Dimensional accuracy and a stable diameter help ensure compatibility with most FDM printers and reduce feeding issues.

Suitable for

• Decorative items, ornaments and figurines
• Architectural models and prototypes requiring a natural look
• Scale models and hobby projects where surface texture matters
• Small furniture details, trims and craft projects

When it may not be suitable

Sunlu Wood is a PLA‑based, wood‑infused material and therefore has thermal and mechanical properties similar to PLA. It is not intended for high‑temperature applications or parts that require significant flexibility or high impact resistance. The wood particles can affect extrusion behavior compared with pure PLA, so very fine nozzles or extreme speeds may require testing and adjustment.

• Vicat softening temperature: 54 °C
• Heat deflection temperature: 54.4 °C
• Melting temperature: 164 °C
• Melt flow rate: 3.2 g/10 min
• Tensile strength: 37 MPa
• Elongation at break: 3%
• Flexural strength: 65 MPa
• Flexural modulus: 3154 MPa
• Impact resistance (X‑Y): 65 kJ/m²
• Dimensional accuracy (diameter): ±0.02 mm

How to use

Print Sunlu Wood using standard PLA temperature settings as a starting point, adjusting nozzle temperature and print speed to optimise surface finish and grain reproduction. Use a heated bed if available to improve adhesion and reduce warping; bed temperature and cooling should be tuned per printer and model geometry. For best detail and to avoid clogging, verify compatibility with your nozzle diameter and perform a short test print when changing filament types.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: not recommended for high‑temperature or load‑bearing parts
• Nozzle size: wood particles may require avoiding extremely small nozzles
• Printer compatibility: suitable for most FDM/FFF printers but test first for optimal settings
• Finish options: parts can be sanded, stained or treated to enhance the wood look

Usage recommendations

Begin with conservative print speeds and moderate nozzle temperatures, then fine‑tune settings for surface texture and grain. Consider post‑processing like light sanding or staining to achieve a more realistic wood appearance.
