Best Wood and conductive filaments?

I have a need for some wood fiber filament as well as some conductive filament. If anyone has experience with either that can tell me which worked best for them, I'd appreciate it.

I have used both from Proto-Pasta before but just checking my option as $50 + S&H for .5kg is a bit pricey.

Lay wood is still the best, in my opinion, because it can be printed with a treeing effect and has a flexible version. Extruder Fichte (Spruce) is also fantastic; it's bright and looks like MDF boards.

 

My first thinking for a possible practical application, though I'm not sure if it would be any better than present approaches, is to utilise a dual extruder printer to print multi-layered PCBs at home using conductive filament in one and non-conductive material in the other. However, there may be better options now. I've never made anything like this before.
If this is possible, I believe it will be easier to reproduce some of the more complicated guitar pedals and other effects at home. However, because this is the first time I've heard of this filament, I'm not sure. Now it's time to do some research!

 

As a beginner One of the first questions to 3D printing has to sort out is what kind of filament to use. The novice is presented with a large number of choices, all with three-letter-acronyms (TLA’s). The most common filaments are PLA (Poly Lactic Acid), ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PETG (Poly Ethylene Terephthalate, HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene ), Nylon, as well as a number exotics such as Ninja Flex, conductive filament, and others. what should a newbie does?

 

i dont have personal experience but there are many brands that offer both wood fiber and conductive filaments

• ColorFabb XT-CF20
  
  
• Taulman Alloy 910
  
  
• Fillamentum WoodFil
  
  
• eSUN Wood-Polylite
  

 

Perhaps I can recommend this cost-effective wood filament

 

Kingroon Wood PLA contains wood particles (approximately 20%-40%), and sanding can reveal a natural wood-like grain texture. Its interlayer bonding strength (Tensile Strength X-Y) is ≥50 MPa, ensuring good interlayer adhesion, which prevents delamination during sanding. Wood PLA can be stained with wood dyes (e.g., oak, walnut) like real wood, allowing the color to penetrate the surface layer and enhance its natural appearance. However, humidity control is critical to avoid material degradation. It is recommended to test small samples first to optimize process details.

 

Have you looked at Hatchbox's wood filament? Great quality and usually more affordable than Proto-Pasta. For conductive, Polymaker's PolyFlex is another solid option!
