Description

You’ve never seen Stainless Steel 316L Filamet™ (Metal-Filled) – 1.75mm The Virtual Foundry PLA Filament – 0.5 kg Hot on Sale

Stainless Steel 17-4 Filamet™ contains around 85% metal by mass and has a density of 3.0g/cc.
Filamet™ enables any Fused Filament Fabrication printer to produce metal objects. Once fired in a sintering furnace, the result is 100% metal.

What you’ll need to print:
* An FFF/FDM 3D printer
* Stainless or hardened steel nozzle sized at 0.6mm (MK8 and MK10 varieties in the shop)
* Filawarmer

* Blue painters tape for your print bed. Glue sticks also work on glass print beds

What you’ll need to debind & sinter:
* Any Kiln or Furnace that can hold the sinter temperature of your desired material. (Sinter temps listed here.)
* Crucible (a few varieties in the shop)
* Sintering Refractory Ballast – Steel Blend
* Sintering Carbon

Slicer Setup: Start with a basic PLA profile for your printer. Change the nozzle temperature to 210°C (410°F) and tune in the range of 190-230°C (374/446°F). Optionally, set the print bed to 40-50°C (104-122°F). Set the flow rate to 135%. Adjust settings from there as needed.

Tip: Put a layer of blue painters tape on the print bed. Filamet™ has great adhesion to the bed.

Nozzle: 0.6mm or larger, stainless steel.

Spool Placement: Reducing friction and pull on Filamet™ during printing is important. Try hanging the filament spool just above the printer.

Polishing: Visit our Use Instructions page for polishing guidelines. 

Eliminate tooling and machining costs for short run manufacturing, prototyping, and one-off metal part needs.

Note: All sales final except in cases of defective product.
