A drawer in the virtual world, a graphic designer in "real life." In other words, being in the wrong place at the wrong time all the time.
Laywood
New 3D Printing filament allows makers to create objects in wood, created by Kai Parthy - via 3Ders.org:
This wood filament LAYWOO-D3 is a wood/polymer composite - the filament contains recycled wood and harmless binding polymers. The material has similar thermal durability as PLA and can be printed between 175°C and 250°C. “After printing it looks like wood and smells like wood.” Depending on the temperature you can even print wooden-like objects with annual rings. At 180°C, the prints has a light color, at 245°C it becomes darker. Afterwards the printed objects can be cut, grinded or painted.
