Are you in Australia searching for high - quality 3D printing filament? Look no further than Bambu Lab's PLA Metal Filament. This filament has a metallic texture that gives your prints a professional and high - end look. It mimics the surface of metal without actual metal fillers. You get the shiny metallic appearance while keeping almost the same performance as regular PLA. The filament comes with RFID for intelligent printing. All the printing parameters are stored in the RFID, which our AMS (Automatic Material System) can read. Just load it and start printing, no more annoying setting steps! For the best results, here are the recommended settings: dry the filament at 55 °C for 8 hours before printing. Keep the humidity in the container below 20% RH (sealed with a desiccant). Set the nozzle temperature between 190 - 230 °C and the bed temperature (with PVP glue) between 35 - 45 °C. And print at a speed below 300 mm/s. The physical properties include a density of 1.25 g/cm³, a Vicar Softening Temperature of 62 °C, a Heat Deflection Temperature of 62 °C, a Melting Temperature of 160 °C, and a Melt Index of 38.6 ± 3.7 g/10 min. Mechanically, it has a Tensile Strength of 46 ± 2 MPa, a Breaking Elongation Rate of 20.6 ± 1.4 %, a Bending Modulus of 2290 ± 210 MPa, a Bending Strength of 72 ± 2 MPa, and an Impact Strength of 58.9 ± 3.4 kJ/m². After printing, you'll have a wide piece, a narrow piece, and two spacing shims. First, align the locator on the wide piece with the notch on the inner ring of the filament roll and insert it. Then insert the narrow piece and align its groove inside the spool until it fits firmly into the wide piece. Rotate it clockwise until it locks. Also, make sure to install the spacing shim under the triangle inside the spool and tear out the plastic strips. Each pack includes 1x Filament & Desiccant, Instructions & Spool sticker, and 1x Filament Label. You can also browse other great Bambu Lab products and various types of filaments on our site.
Using the Bambu Lab PLA Metal Filament is easy. First, make sure to dry the filament at 55 °C for 8 hours before you start printing. This helps to get a better print quality. Keep the humidity in the container below 20% RH. You can do this by sealing it with a desiccant. When it comes to printing, set the nozzle temperature between 190 - 230 °C and the bed temperature (with PVP glue) between 35 - 45 °C. And don't print too fast, keep the speed below 300 mm/s. After you finish printing, you'll have some extra pieces. Take the wide piece and find the locator on it. Align it with the notch on the inner ring of the filament roll and insert it. Then insert the narrow piece, align the grooves, and push it into the wide piece. Rotate it clockwise until it locks in place. Also, remember to install the spacing shim under the triangle inside the spool and tear out the plastic strips. As for maintenance, always store the filament in a dry place to prevent it from absorbing moisture. This will ensure that it performs well every time you use it.
