LAYFILAMENTS LAYWOOD-FLEX - 1.75MM - 0.25 KG

LayFilaments new version of their now classic wooden filament - LAYWOOD-FLEX. German inventor Kai Parthy is back with another interesting filament. His latest work has given the added property of flexibility to his wood filament, Laywoo-D3. Laywood -Flex brings the flexibility of tree branches to 3D printable filament, without being rubbery.

Main features

• No (or minimal) deformation
• Rough or smooth surfaces that can be sanded
• 3D printable tree rings are possible (185 to 255°C), depending on temperature and printing speed. Elasticity will be greater on darker layers
• Adheres well to ABS paint on cold plates or blue tape.
• Print directly onto capton ribbon with a 50°C platform.
• Contains approximately 35% recycled wood and harmless binders made from copolyesters.
• Nozzle: 0.5mm.

Otherwise, Laywood prints are quite stiff with high tensile strength and tend to break faster, but Laywood-Flex has higher elasticity with slightly lower tensile strength.

As Kai points out: "It's been over 2 years, and other filaments have been developed in my garage, and I wanted to return to LAYWOOD (TM) again, making it better or more flexible, as some types of wood in real nature are also flexible. So I added some flexibilizers and achieved a suitable result, which is essentially a thermoplastic composite polymer, made with harmless ingredients."
