Anyone trying metal-filled filaments, use a HARDENED STEEL NOZZLE, stuff like this is really abrasive and will wear down your standard nozzle in a few prints. Other than that it’s fun stuff, you’ll be surprised how heavy it is and how much colder it feels (given the increased thermal mass and conductivity)

[lachlanpryznyk]

That is so cool. One of the things about 3d printing parts and tools is they don’t look real, they look funny, but that looks like a litteral rock carving

That quick drop of how the accelerated rust process works without over explaining it got ya my subscription.

I think we need to see a strength test comparison between multiple standard printing materials and this iron-filled filament. I need to know if it’s any stronger.

[CulbableJimmy]

Marble machine with the gears made out of this and the rails made on stainless steel rods? Oh man, that would look so good

[MRX-ffvy]

Could you make a video about metal plating this print/filament? The conductivity should make it possible?

[jayson]

A 60s style Hotrod car would look good printed with that and give it the rusted look !

[jonatanboy]

I need to see you introducing it to increasing heat in steps.
As well as some tensile strength, bending and torsion tests

[KadyDPrinting]

Oh, i think it’s nice, i will try it

[odyssey]

To really get a good test for future purposes make bolts or hardware out of them and test the durability strength and resistance to heat

[syedrafiqkazim]

The matte finish looks way better than the layer lines on plastic pieces

[velocitywolf]

Maybe printing a metal thing and using a cold bluing finish to protect the surface could be interesting

[GOLDENBOY]

Tell me you designed your logo after Linus Tech tips without telling me you did

[minimek]

Oh thats gonna be so good for movie props

[tridsonline]

👍🏻 V nice! I recently replaced my car's water bottle cap with a printed replica, and it fits better than the original.
It would be interesting to see what other car parts can be printed - upholstery clips and other plastic parts of course, but using the metal filaments would require sensible choice of target parts to replicate plus some stress testing to ensure viability

[JoshuaEFinley]

Thank you random internet guy. You just solved one of my biggest problems with a production design I've been working on.

[PeakOfHumor]

use oxygen water qnd vinegar for rusting iron easier

[aqhan]

Let's clarify this a little, before someone destroys their nozzle: Any printer with a hardened steel nozzle can print this filament. Or a ruby tipped if you're fancy.

[Zipo]

Can you do me a favor? Throw that cube in a 760 deg C** oven? 700 deg F** is the vaporization temperature of PLA and 1400°F is the annealing temp of iron. Id love to see if this fuses the layers even more so and thus making it stronger?? this would be cool

[bforster]

Thats really cool.
Try some vitamin E oil for those cuticles that crap hurts.
