Copper-filled Metal Composite HTPLA

Straight off the print bed, it looks like terracotta, but don't be discouraged. Bringing out the metal is a little time consuming but not difficult (I used the same brass brush I clean my nozzle with) and the oxidization is easy and incredible. If you only brush it (like I did in these pictures) it takes sunlight to make it shine, but sanding makes it glisten like a penny. Things printed with this are heavy and make your hands smell like metal when you handle it a lot. I was surprised how easy it was to print with; for me the difficulty was comparable to maybe a glow in the dark filament. I'd use this for everything if I could.

This stuff is cool! Got a test coil to play with and it was easy to get a nice patina.

I found I had to go to a 36 grit to get rid of the printing line. I then polished the piece op to 6 micron.Itos smooth and shiny butot doesn't really look like copper and I should know As I am a metalsmith and work with copper all the time
