Prints like PLA, polishes like metal!
Proto-pasta Stainless Steel PLA is a dense material that is just as easy to print as standard PLA, but produces heavy, metallic-looking prints that can be brushed, sanded or polished after printing for amazing results. Perfect for jewelry, costumes, props, figurines, crafts, robots and more! We recommend experimenting with this starter kit (instructional videos included).
Attention
This filament is more abrasive than standard PLA. Be prepared to replace your nozzle and adjust the first layer. Use a wear-resistant nozzle and/or a larger diameter nozzle to extend maintenance intervals. In filament form, SSPLA is slightly more brittle than standard PLA and requires extra care when handling. Processing is comparable to standard PLA, no heated print bed is required. The printing process may be less consistent with smaller nozzles and/or Bowden machines. To achieve the best possible print quality, we therefore recommend printing with direct drive systems (DirectDrive extruders), with 0.6mm nozzles and at 210-230°C printing temperature.
