1. Higher Moisture Absorption: PLA Wood contains natural wood powder, making it more sensitive to moisture. Dry before use to ensure the best print quality and consistent finish.
- Storage and Drying: Although PLA Wood is thoroughly dried and vacuum-sealed prior to shipping, variations in transport conditions may affect its moisture level. We strongly recommend drying it right after opening and storing it in a sealed container with desiccant or AMS. Repeat drying and moisture-proofing before each long-term storage period.
- Drying Guidelines: For best results, dry at 55 5C for 8 hours in a blast drying oven or 6575C for 12 hours in an X1 chamber. Click here for more details.
2. Color Variation: Natural wood powder may result in slight color variations depending on the drying level and raw material differences.
3. Wood-like smell: During printing, PLA Wood emits a mild, natural wood scent due to the wood powder content. It is non-irritating and non-toxic.
