Wood-containing 3D filament

| Filament | Wood content / characteristics | Practical fit | |---|---|---| | Elegoo PLA Wood | PLA infused with wood powder; matte, wood-like finish; available in light brown, walnut, rosewood, birch, and other tones. (elegoo.com) | Good general-purpose option for decorative frames. | | QIDI PLA Wood | Contains 10% natural wood fiber, 1.75 mm diameter, with a matte wood effect. (us.qidi3d.com) | Suitable if you want a clearly wood-filled filament from a mainstream printer brand. | | Inslogic WoodFill PLA | Contains 15% real wood powder, with a wood scent and finish that can be sanded or stained. (inslogic3d.com) | Best choice of these three if you specifically want real wood particles and post-processing options. |

My pick for a picture frame: Inslogic WoodFill for the most authentic wood effect; Elegoo for a simpler, potentially more economical starting point.

For a first attempt, I’d use the 100 × 148 mm no-support frame or the 140/175 mm frame in a walnut or birch wood filament.

Suggested starting setup: use a 0.6 mm nozzle if possible; manufacturers commonly recommend that size for wood-filled filament to reduce clogging. Prusa specifically notes that most wood-powder composites benefit from a 0.6 mm-or-larger nozzle, although some specialized products work with 0.4 mm. (prusa3d.com)
