METAL BRONZE our 80% bronze filled filament which is easy to print, sand & polish. With MT-BRONZE you can create the most beautiful objects with real METAL characteristics, such as a 3 x higher weight ten PLA, a METAL feel & touch and thermal conductivity. Due to the high percentage of fillers, MT-BRONZE has virtually no shrinkage, a special lubricant increases the flow and prevents MT-BRONZE to adhere to the nozzle. Finally, all above combined with the correct hardness results in a filament that can be printed on almost every type of FDM 3d printer available on the market with retraction enabled on nozzles ≥0.35 mm.
MT-BRONZE features:
- Approx. 80% bronze content
- PLA-based, 3 times heavier

- Excellent printability on both direct & Bowden style 3D printers
- Processing additive added for easy & reliable printing
- Quick & easy polishing and other post-processing
- Possibility to print with retraction
- Works on nozzles ≥0.35 mm

Additional info:
MT-BRONZE can be printed without a heated bed, but if you do have a heated bed the recommended temperature is ≤60°C. Storage: Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly. MT-BRONZE can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers.
* Please consider the use of a hardened steel nozzle when printing with MT-BRONZE. The bronze powder inside makes the filament abrasive and will result in fast wear of regular brass nozzles.
* Please have a look at the “Printing, post-processing & other info document” for further tips & tricks.
