Having a 3D printer without filament is like having a regular printer without paper or ink. Most printers come with some filament, but you might need a new one after lots of printing. That's why we offer a full range of 3D printing filaments in various colors! This 750g spool of 1.75mm PLA/PHA bronzeFill blend from colorFabb is an excellent material for 3D printers. It lets you print with real bronze at home! Right out of the printer, parts look almost laser - sintered with a matte finish. With a bit of sanding and polishing, the bronze particles will shine like never before. This material is about 3x heavier than regular PLA filament. It has been successfully tested on many printers and works well on both heated and non - heated build platforms. If you're using a cold build platform, colorFabb suggests using blue painter's tape on the build area. The tape's rough surface provides enough adhesion for the first layer, reducing warping. Always check your printer's compatible diameter and filament type before buying. For more info on this filament, visit colorFabb's website and their great learn system.

Using this 3D printing filament is easy. First, make sure to check if your printer can handle 1.75mm diameter and PLA/PHA bronzeFill filament. If you're using a cold build platform, apply blue painter's tape to the build area to help the first layer stick better and reduce warping. Once you've loaded the filament into your printer, you can start printing real - bronze parts at home. After printing, sand and polish the parts to make the bronze particles shine. When it comes to maintenance, store the filament in a dry place to keep it in good condition. Also, don't forget to clean your printer's nozzle regularly to ensure smooth printing.
