PLA Stainless Steel Polished Proto-Pasta 2,85 mm

Stainless Steel Filament – prints like plastic, polishes like metal!

STAINLESS STEEL PLA COMPOSITE is a dense material that prints as easily as standard PLA, resulting in heavy cast metal looking prints that can be brushed, sanded or polished after 3D printing for stunning results.

Proto-pasta PLA COMPOSITE STAINLESS STEEL is a perfect material for jewellery, costumes, accessories, figurines, crafts, robots, etc.

Description of PLA Composite Stainless Steel from Proto-Pasta

PLA COMPOSITE STAINLESS STEEL filament contains a number of advantages that make it a unique PLA filament material.

THIS MATERIAL IS ABRASIVE, SO AN ABRASION RESISTANT BOTTLE 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.
• Stainless steel appearance and shine.

Proto-pasta PLA composite Stainless Steel features

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