Smith3D Metal Filled PLA Filament 1KG 1.75mm – Real Metal Appearance

Smith3D Metal Filled PLA is a composite filament containing real metal powder that creates prints with authentic metallic weight, feel, and appearance. Available in copper, bronze, and other metal variations, this filament produces stunning prints that can be polished to reveal a true metal luster.

Unlike standard “metallic” PLA that only looks shiny, metal-filled PLA contains actual metal particles (typically 40-50% by weight), giving prints genuine heft and the ability to develop a real patina over time.

Metal Filled PLA Key Features

  • Real Metal Content – Contains actual metal powder
  • Authentic Weight – Heavier than standard PLA
  • Polishable – Reveals true metal shine
  • Patina Capable – Can develop natural aging
  • Premium Feel – Cold to touch like real metal
  • Standard PLA Base – Easy to print

Metal Filled PLA Printing Parameters

Parameter Recommended Value Notes
Nozzle Temperature 195-220°C Standard PLA range
Bed Temperature 50-60°C Standard heated bed
Print Speed 30-50mm/s Slower recommended
Nozzle Size 0.4mm+ recommended Avoid small nozzles
Nozzle Type Hardened Steel Metal is abrasive

Important: Hardened Nozzle Required

Abrasive Filament Warning:

  • Use Hardened Steel Nozzle – Metal particles wear brass quickly
  • Larger Nozzle Preferred – 0.5mm or 0.6mm reduces clogging
  • Print Slower – Gives particles time to flow smoothly
  • Brass Nozzle Warning – Will wear out within hours

Post-Processing Metal Filled PLA

Achieving Metal Finish:

  • Sand Progressively – 220 → 400 → 800 → 1000+ grit
  • Steel Wool – For final metal polish
  • Metal Polish – Brasso or similar for shine
  • Patina (Optional) – Liver of sulfur or vinegar for aged look
  • Seal If Desired – Clear coat prevents tarnishing

Metal Filled PLA Applications

  • Jewelry – Rings, pendants, earrings
  • Decorative Objects – Statues, figurines, awards
  • Cosplay Props – Weapons, armor details
  • Model Making – Miniatures, scale models
  • Art Pieces – Sculptures with authentic weight
  • Steampunk Projects – Gears, mechanical accents

Metal Filled PLA FAQ

Q: Is this as heavy as solid metal?
A: No, but noticeably heavier than regular PLA. Prints have a satisfying heft similar to cast metal objects.

Q: Can I really polish it to a shine?
A: Yes! Progressive sanding followed by metal polish reveals the embedded metal particles for a genuine metallic luster.

Q: Why do I need a hardened nozzle?
A: The metal particles are abrasive and will rapidly wear through brass nozzles, potentially within a single spool.
