Is this using that Laywood material?

Bartosz_Barlowski · January 24, 2013, 1:20pm

Yes. The nice thing is that I just use my PLA profiles and it works like a charm

John_Schneider · January 24, 2013, 1:22pm

Which supplier did you purchase the filament from?

Bartosz_Barlowski · January 24, 2013, 1:23pm

Got it from https://grrf.de/ I think from Germany

John_Schneider · January 24, 2013, 1:25pm

Ok, thanks!

Can it be sanded more easily than PLA?

Bartosz_Barlowski · January 24, 2013, 2:10pm

@Sean_Bires_Renzu compared to normal PLA it seems to handle sanding a lot better. The material is like wood but not really wood because its flexible also

Does anyone know a US supplier for Laywood?

Whosa_whatsis · January 24, 2013, 6:16pm

Matterhackers.com has it.

yoink

Be prepared to have your wallet cry out in pain. It’s $132/kg vs. $38/kg for regular PLA filament

Alexander_Schreyer · January 24, 2013, 7:20pm

I just saw it. Thanks for the link…

bummer they are currently out of stock on 1.75mm laywood:(

Cool! Is that iPhone case the one I customized? The parameters are the same at least http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40768

I actually thought that next to the iPone case I could see a V-brake of a bicycle…

The Iphone case would look great in Aluminum.
