FGF PLA Copper

FGF PLA COPPER is filled with 80% copper. With FGF PLA COPPER you can create the most beautiful objects with real METAL characteristics, such as a 3 x higher weight then PLA, a METAL feel & touch and thermal-conductivity. Due to the high percentage of fillers FGF PLA COPPER has virtually no shrinkage.

Features

  • Approx. 80% copper content
  • PLA-based, 3 times heavier
  • Metal feel & “cold” touch
  • Quick & easy polishing and other post-processing

Additional information

* Please consider the use of a hardened steel nozzle when printing with MT-COPPER .
The copper powder inside makes the filament abrasive and will result in fast wear of regular brass nozzles.

Storage

Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
