ColorFabb Bronzelfill filament 750g

ColorFabb Bronzefill is on its base just a regular PLA. But the addition of metallic powder allows for really interesting looks. Your prints will look interesting even without post-processing with a distinct matte look. But the really interesting thing is that you can polish these prints and mimic a shiny metallic look.

It’s important to note that the metal particles inside the filament can be very abrasive for a regular brass nozzle. If you plan to print just a tiny model, you don’t have to switch the nozzle, but for anything bigger, it’s better to switch to a hardened steel nozzle.

The first step in polishing is sanding. It’s a good idea to start with a coarse grit size (80) and slowly move up the grit table. After sanding a big improvement in polish can be achieved with steel wool or brass brush. If you’re still not happy with the finish, you can try wet sanding with a very fine grit (1500).
