PLA Magnetic Iron Proto-Pasta 1,75 mm

Magnetic Iron Filament – prints like PLA, and behaves like metal! One of the most attractive filaments of the moment.

PLA COMPOSITE IRON MAGNETIC IRON is a dense material that prints as easily as standard PLA, resulting in prints with magnetic properties (ferromagnetic material).

HTPLA COMPOSITE STEEL HARDENED STEEL maintains a stable matt cast metal finish as printed, but may rust when desired.

PLA PROTO-PASTA MAGNETIC IRON Description

PLA COMPOSITE IRON MAGNETIC IRON filament contains a number of advantages that make it a unique PLA filament material.

THIS MATERIAL IS ABRASIVE, SO AN ABRASION RESISTANT PIPE WITH A DIAMETER GREATER THAN 0.4 mm (ideally 0.5 – 0.6 mm) IS REQUIRED.

• Easier and more reliable 3D printing.
• No heated bed required.
• 3D printing temperature like standard PLA.
• Less deformation and distortion during 3D printing.
• Improved surface hardness for less wear in abrasive environments.
• Less shrinkage and distortion for more accurate parts.
• 100% machinable.
• Ferromagnetic appearance and lustre (depends on machining applied).
• Feels heavy with 1.5 times the density of standard PLA.
• Attracts magnets (neodymium type recommended for strongest attraction).
• Magnetic saturation induction around 0.15 Tesla.
• Relative permeability (to air) – between 5 and 8 regardless of frequency up to 1 MHz.
• Permeability – between 62E-7 and 100E-7 H/m regardless of frequency up to 1 MHz.
• More thermally conductive than standard plastic.
• Less nozzle wear than steel or carbon fibre.

Characteristics of PLA PROTO-PASTA MAGNETIC IRON

PLA COMPOSITE MAGNETIC IRON requires hardened steel nozzles or similar, as it produces excessive wear like other fibre filaments in brass nozzles.
