Adafruit PLA/PHA copperFill for 3D Printers - 1.75mm Diameter - 750g

Embrace the cutting-edge of 3D printing with the PLA/PHA copperFill blend 1.75mm 750g spool from colorFabb. This extraordinary filament allows for printing with real copper, offering a unique opportunity to create stunning metallic effects.

Once printed, the parts boast a laser-like sintered appearance with a matte finish. A simple process of sanding and polishing reveals the shimmering brilliance of the embedded bronze particles, unmatched by other filaments.

Weighing approximately three times more than regular PLA, this filament adds a robust feel to your creations. For a polished finish, use coarse steel wool, applying significant pressure without lingering too long in one spot to avoid heat softening.

Enhance your prints with a thin coat of black spray paint, wiping it off immediately for striking contrast. Apply a copper polish for extra shine and an intriguing patina over time.

The copperFill filament is compatible with various 3D printers and both heated and non-heated build platforms. It performs exceptionally with all-metal hot-ends like the E3D and Makerbot Replicator 2.

For cold platforms, blue painter's tape is recommended, while heated platforms benefit from a temperature of 55-60°C, ensuring firm adhesion. It can be printed directly on glass or enhanced with glue stick or kapton tape as needed.

Verify your printer's specifications for diameter and filament type compatibility to fully unlock the potential of this remarkable material. Discover the artistry of metal printing with colorFabb’s copperFill filament.
