EasyWood has the look, texture and smell of real wood. A beautiful woodgrain effect can be achieved by sanding the printed object with fine-grit sandpaper. Alternatively, the same effect can be achieved by varying the printing temperature during the process.
EasyWood is a PLA-based filament with 40% ground wood particles. The wood particles also contribute to a print free of warping.

*) The above settings are intended as guidelines for finding optimal printing parameters. These ranges should work with most printers, but feel free to experiment outside these values if you feel it is suitable for your printer. There are many different types of printers, hot-end and offset, so it is extremely difficult to provide a universal setting that applies to all.

Nozzle Cleaning
When printing with filled or composite filaments, it is recommended to clean the nozzle immediately after printing by passing 15-20 cm of PLA filament through it. This ensures the expulsion of any filler residue. It is even more effective to use PLA Glow in the Dark, as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are more likely to remove any internal residue from the nozzle.
