Sample 15 meters - Metal Filament Steelfill 1,75mm Colorfabb

Steelfill from Colorfabb is a 3D PLA print string with a high proportion of steel particles (up to 80%). This printing composite string made of metal and plastic allows you to print objects that, after grinding and polishing, get the faithful appearance of the steel product.

Specifications:

Filament diameter: 1.75 mm with tolerance ± 0.05 mm,
Length: 15 meters
Recommended print temperature: 190-220 ° C
Recommended print speed: 40-80 mm /s
Recommended plate temperature: 50-60 ° C (heating is not necessary, without heating we recommend supporting adhesion with 3-pressure or other adhesives)

After printing, polish the surface first with coarser sanding papers and continue to the finest. For a hearty gloss you can also use polishing paste for metal or grinding brushes.

Thanks to the large proportion of metal, the surface of the model has a matt surface after steelfill almost as a laser sintered surface. However, steel particles will shine and glitter during grinding and polishing, which gives the prints a very unusual appearance.

Suitable for decorative purposes where you will appreciate the metal glossy appearance (statuettes, jewelry, etc.)

Print notification:

Due to the high steel content of Steelfill, this fiber is too abrasive for printing with a brass nozzle. Therefore, we recommend printing with hardened nozzles preferably with a diameter of 0.5 mm and higher.
