The Reinforcements
What's wood filament?
Usually PLA (sometimes PETG) with fine wood particles mixed in, so prints look and feel like wood.

Prusa, for wood- and metal-filled filaments (depends on the base). Typical ranges from one maker’s data sheet. Brands differ: the label on your spool wins.
Why it matters
- Prints can be sanded and stained like wood for a weathered look.
- The particles weaken the part and its layer bonds, so keep it for decor.
Tips from the workshop
- Use at least a 0.6 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layers so the particles do not clog it (unless the maker says otherwise).
