Product Description
Protopasta Ferromagnetic Iron PLA 3D Printer Filament | ProtoPlant Metal-Filled PLA Plastic Printer Filament with 45% Iron | Patina Friendly Metal Composite Filament | 500g Metallic Spool
- Metal Infused Filament: Protopasta Metal Filled PLA 3D Printer Filament is comprised of a base PLA plastic mixed with 45% by weight iron powder. This 500g spool of 1.75mm metallic composite filament has twice the density of standard PLA filament, making it perfect for prints requiring a metal look and feel. This iron PLA filament is also ferromagnetic, allowing magnets to stick to it.
- Multi-Purpose Metal Filament: Proto pasta printing filament is ideal for many different printing projects due to it's unique ability to have a patina for a truly metallic-looking finish. This lends a more realistic feel when printing models such as cars, tools, tabletop game miniatures, and other metallic accessories.
- Consumer Printer Compatibility: Our metal-infused PLA filament is compatible with most consumer printers such as Prusa, Bambu, Creality, and Ender. The high-quality ferromagnetic iron PLA filament prints smoothly without causing clogs or bubbles so that your prints turn out how you expect them to.
- Materials Made in USA: ProtoPlant Proto pasta products are well known in the 3D printing market and we were one of the first to experiment with recyclable spools, composites, colors, and unique finishes. Our Protopasta filament and spools are made in the USA, providing you with the high-quality products you've come to expect.
- ProtoPlant Passion: Making Protopasta. Making new. Making better. Since 2013, Protopasta has valued quality, reliability, and creativity. We seek to reduce waste in our production and build relationships in our community. Our metal composite filament line is a demonstration of our passion for high-quality 3D printing and even higher-quality service.
in filament form, fepla is slightly more brittle than standard PLA and requires extra care when handling. Processing is Comparable to standard PLA. No heated bed required. Process may be less consistent on smaller nozzles and/or bowden Type machines. We frequently print using direct-drive systems with 0.4mm nozzles, though suggest 0.6mm and 190-210c (standard PLA or a bit cooler) for the best experience. This filament is more abrasive than standard PLA. Be prepared to replace your nozzle and do 1st layer adjustment. Try a wear resistant and/or larger diameter nozzle for increased service intervals.
These 500G spools are shipped on the industry's only fully recyclable corrugated paper spools with no metal or plastic parts. These extremely high quality spools are rigid, lightweight, attractive, and eco-friendly. They also have a larger than normal inner core improving printability of the last few layers of Material, especially on 2.85mm diameters. The different designs on each spool are actual drawings, schematics, and Code from the equipment we manufacture your filament on. Enjoy!
