- Paintable with water-based inks for easy post-processing colour
- 00 mm diameter on 0.60 kg spool fits compatible printers
Filament for lightweight functional parts
This Lay Filaments wood filament produces prints that float on water thanks to a density of only .5 grams per cubic centimetre. The material weighs roughly 50 percent less than standard filaments while giving objects a rustic cardboard-like surface. It is suited to makers who want thermally isolating items such as cup holders. Buyers needing structural strength or high-temperature resistance should choose a different material.
Check nozzle diameter and extruder grip
The filament measures 3.00 millimetres in diameter, so the printer hot-end must accept that size. A direct-drive extruder with sufficient grip is recommended because the porous structure can compress under high drive force. Ensure the slicer profile uses a flow rate calibrated for low-density filament to avoid under-extrusion. The spool weighs .60 kilograms, so verify the holder can accommodate the width.
Dimensional response to moisture cycles
Printed parts swell slightly when rinsed in water and shrink back when dried, a reversible change that continues throughout the object's life. This climate responsiveness means dimensions are not stable in humid environments or wet-use scenarios. Thermal isolation remains consistent, but repeated swelling cycles may loosen press-fit joints over time. Design clearances accordingly for parts exposed to moisture.

Questions about this item
Does the 0.60 kg spool include everything needed to start printing, or must I buy a spool holder or adapter separately?
The package contains the 0.60 kg filament spool only. Any spool holder, guide tube or printer-specific adapter must be sourced separately.
The listing shows only the 3.00 mm diameter in 0.60 kg — are other diameters or weights available for this material?
This product is offered solely as 3.00 mm diameter in a 0.60 kg spool; no alternative diameters or spool sizes are listed.
The spec says the filament is 50 % the density of standard filament at 0.5 g/cm³ — what does that mean for the finished part?
Printed parts feel cardboard-light, float on water, insulate heat well enough for cup holders, and can swell slightly when wet then shrink back when dry.
