Variable Filament Gauge

This is the only filament that got stuck in my PTFE tubing. I have a box that I install all my filaments in and run them through a PTFE teflon tube to my 3D printer. I use an all metal hot end which I also bought from MicroSwiss here at Revain. HOWEVER, this filament gets stuck in said tube from my dry box to my printer, I have to force the filament through the tube. 4 years of 3D printing and Proto-Pasta is the ONLY filament that got stuck in my PTFE tube due to Proto-Pasta's lack of quality…

Wonderful filament, although it can be difficult

I've printed over 14 kg (32 lbs) of PLA Magnetic Iron, which is probably more than any other filament I've ever used. What I love about this yarn is the realistic look once the print has rusted. This is particularly useful as I work in the railway industry where many of the prints are for display purposes and the rusty look immediately catches people's attention - see attached photos of the reduced R36 switch post. Although this thread has its caveats. First off, I've found that a geared…

Pros
  • 3D printing consumables

The best iron-filled PLA.

I have used 3 spools of this filament in my Lulzbot printers for various projects. The key takeaway is that while at least 3 other competitors are selling metal-filled PLA composites with copper, brass, bronze, etc., there is simply no other competitor (to my knowledge) that offers readily available PLA mixed with iron powder. Luckily, Proto-Pasta's Magnetic Iron PLA is pretty good. In my experience, printing with it can be either easy or impossible, depending on various factors. For me, PLA…

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
