eSUN WoodFill Filament - 1.75mm 0.5kg

Our spools of 1.75mm WoodFill ESUN come in quantities of 0.5kg, and are an excitingly unique type of filament designed to look and feel just like wood. Made with a base plastic of PLA Filament, this filament is not only fantastic to print arts, crafts and other objects with, but it is also very easy to print compared to many other Exotic Filaments.

Whereas in the past you would have to find a quality piece of wood to carve, nowadays you can simply acquire this filament for around the same price as a high-quality piece of lumber, and then simply 3D Print your parts, models or other objects with ease. Made from a non-toxic plastic that doesn’t send out bad aromas during the printing process, this filament is both easy to use and completely safe for Making toys, ornaments or other decorative pieces.

Of course, it is important to remember that 3D Printed PLA, whether it contains wood, copper or even a mixture of additives, is not technically food safe due to the way that items are produced – lots of micro particles created during the 3D Printing process. However, despite not being food safe, it is a great filament to print natural looking kitchen ornaments with, such as cutlery holders and ladle spoon rests, with the wood adding a touch of finesse to almost any environment, blending technology with nature for exquisite results.

As a final note, one aspect that we find incredibly interesting with most WoodFill Filaments such as this, is that you can tweak the final printed colours, patterns and even textures by modifying the print speed and outer shell settings with clever scripts. So check out these amazing Wood Filament Resources on Thingiverse, as this fantastic Maker’s scripts have even now been added to the stock collection of Cura plug-ins, allowing you to simply select the plug-in from the drop-down menu in Cura, and immediately begin producing beautiful wood sculptures, ornaments and more – without ever needing to cut, saw, hammer or even whittle!

Typical Applications for ESUN WoodFill Filament:

This unique filament is most often used for applications in which one would typically have to carve or shape wood, but can also be a unique choice of material for almost any standard print. As such, this filament has been used for a wide range of different projects, including:

• Creating a wood-textured phone case to stand out from the typical plastic cases.
• Designing toys that are light, durable and have the same tactile feel as old wooden toys.
• Crafting unique art pieces that would usually require at least a few days of carving – designed and printed within a few hours in some cases.
• Making your own decorative ornaments for your home, which are often unnecessarily expensive due to the time and effort that goes into sourcing quality wood and carving it into shape.

These of course are just a few examples of what you can do with eSUN WoodFill Filament, and often even works out less expensive than usual – especially when considering the price of quality lumber and hours of labour required to produce great carvings. So get yourself a spool today and see what you can make with it. With so many great features and a relatively low price, this is one of the most unique and exciting filaments on the market.

Shenzhen eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd was established in 2002 in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and has rapidly become one of the leading international suppliers of 3D Printing Filament. They specialise in research, development and production of degradable polymer materials, and have grown their catalogue of filaments to include PLA, ABS, PC, PVA, and a wide range of other polymers and copolymers.

Their list of exclusive filament formulas include unique materials like wood, aluminium, bronze and other materials to create highly specialised filaments that can stretch, bend, be moulded or otherwise behave in very unique ways. Their filaments are also commonly characterised by their absolutely round shape, extremely low diameter tolerance, uniform colours and impressively stable melting points. These characteristics, in combination with their long-term insistent policy of “Best Quality, Reasonable Price” has garnered them a large share of the market, with their reputation commonly preceding them within knowledgeable online and offline 3D Printing communities.

eSUN’s popularity in the industry has also helped to produce sustainable partnerships with many internationally famous 3D Printer manufacturers and distributors, with DIYElectronics having sole distributorship rights to provide their 3D Printing Filaments to South Africa and neighbouring African countries.
