Today I received my first new roll of PLA in a long time. I have been printing from never ending rolls of white, black and clear for what seems like years. I decided to try something that I have seen some great results with and based on my first print I have to agree, Wood PLA (or is it PLA Wood). I went with Hatchbox Wood PLA 1.75 and it printed up identically to regular PLA however the material has a more soft and supple feel to it when printed thin. Here are pictures of my first print, a heart box I am going to try and stain for Valentine's day.
