3D printing with metal on your own desktop 3D printer! This amazing one of a kind filament will allow you to print with actual copper at home! Straight from the printer, parts look almost laser sintered with a matte finish.
With a bit of sanding and polishing, the copper particles will start to shine and shimmer unlike any 3D printing filament you have seen before.
Now you can make jewellery that won’t feel like cheap lightweight plastic parts.

TIP!
Sanding and polishing your parts will make the copper particles shine. Start sanding with grit 120-180 and make sure all the printed lines vanish. You’ll notice that copperFill is easy to sand down, so be careful not to loose too much detail. Then start working your way up by following with grit 240-320, and finishing off with grit 600 or higher. Finally, use a clean soft cloth and some copper polish to really get all of the shine out of the copper particles.
Note: 3D printers have many types of hot-ends which makes it extremely difficult to give advice. Please considered these values as a starting point for determining the proper settings for your 3D printer.
