### Wood-filled PLA
Wood-filled PLA is comprised of sawdust, and PLA. Cheap wood-filled PLA looks brown and has no particular wood-like qualities, but higher quality WF-PLA has visible chips of wood. This impacts the print by giving it a wood-like texture and allowing you to use varnish on the print.
WF-PLA is difficult to print with, it easily absorbs humidity and sputters from the nozzle. The resulting product is also weaker.

### PLA Alloys
This category of PLA is created by combining PLA with another plastic additive to change the properties of the resulting filament in some way.
There are 3 primary categories of PLA alloys:
1. "Tough" PLA
Tough PLA is created by combining PLA with polybutylene terephthalate, or PBT. PBT is commonly used in keycaps for keyboards.
Tough PLA prints and acts similarly to PLA, but it has higher temp
