Review on Gizmo Dorks Bronze 3D Printing Filament by Shane Yay

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is NOT the printing and polishing filament you are looking for, it contains very little copper.

This is **NOT** the same as ColorFAB copper-filled filament. This is a PLA filament with approx. 5% copper powder. It cannot be reworked or polished. However, it prints well with PLA settings, at around 50mm/s on my LulzBot TAZ 6, and the end result looks very "coppery". Three stars for misrepresenting their product. To determine how much copper is actually in this thread. I cut and weighed a piece of natural PLA 100mm, then a piece of this PLA 100mm. The mass difference should be based on what they're using for the "copper" look, and that's about 5% of the total mass. I haven't tested the filament to see if the metal-like substance is actually copper.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
