Spectrum 81440 filament, PLA Metal, 1.5kg, 1.75mm, BRONZE

Product description

Spectrum PLA Metal Bronze, enriched with bronze powder, is an advanced material that combines the easy printing typical of PLA with the aesthetics of metal. Thanks to the high content of bronze powder, prints from this filament achieve a natural look and feel of real brass, including its weight and characteristic cool surface. This material is ideal for creating sculptures, jewelry, and other projects where an elegant metallic finish is required.

Post-processing options

The Spectrum PLA Metal Bronze filament offers extensive post-processing possibilities, making it an excellent choice for creators seeking advanced finishing effects. Prints can be easily polished to achieve a smooth, glossy surface that highlights the metallic bronze sheen and elegance. Grinding allows for finer texture effects, while patination techniques can give prints an aged appearance. Thanks to these options, each print can be customized to individual aesthetic needs, from elegant gloss to a rustic, antique look.

Tip: Due to the high metal powder content in the PLA Metal series filaments, it is recommended to use larger nozzles than the standard 0.4 mm. High metal content can cause accelerated wear of standard brass nozzles; therefore, it is recommended to use nozzles made of hardened steel or ruby.
