Printing this material
- Abrasive — Contains fibre, mineral or metal filler that wears brass nozzles quickly. A hardened or ruby nozzle lasts; a stock brass one may not survive a spool.
True of PLA generally. Follow Protopasta’s own guidance for this spool.
If I could afford it, I'd print solely with this filament. The deep teal with metallic flakes just make the layer lines melt away. Absolutely gorgeous results!
