I got some of this and had a quick go yesterday.

I'm using SFACT with pretty much the same settings as PLA, just adjust for filament diametre.

By golly does this stuff stick to the print bed!. I used clean, plain glass.

The finished part is not as strong as PLA and needed to be removed with care. Also, the filament straight off the roll is rather brittle. It needs to be fed to the machine with care.

I'm still working on this, I'll post a picture when I have something decent to show...

Looking forward to pics. I'm very interested in wood type filaments

I have had some Laywoo-d3 for a year now and finally got around to printing a couple of objects with it.
Prints very nicely (with a 0.5mm nozzle) and definately looks and feels wood-like.
The same object when printed with Laywoo-d3 and PLA, the Laywoo-d3 object weighs much less.
