Proto-Pasta Rustable Magnetic Iron Filament is ferromagnetic. It reacts to magnets and behaves like pure iron! The plastic-bound iron retains a solid, matt cast metal finish when printed, but can rust if needed. That's why Proto Pasta Iron PLA is so interesting:
• Iron haptics with 1.5 times the density of standard PLA
• can rust to create modern objects in rusty patina in a few simple steps.
• attracted by magnets (neodymium type recommended for increased attraction)
• Induction at magnetic saturation approx. 0.15 Tesla
• Relative (to air) transmission - between 5 and 8 regardless of frequency up to 1 MHz
• Open area - between 62E-7 and 100E-7 H / m, regardless of frequency up to 1 MHz
• higher thermal conductivity than standard plastics
• easy to print like PLA with less nozzle wear than steel or carbon fiber
** This filament is more abrasive than the standard PLA. We therefore recommend using hardened nozzles with a larger diameter (0.6 mm) made of stainless steel or nickel-plated nozzles from MicroSwiss.
Available in diameters of 1.75 and 2.85 (3) mm. 125 g are delivered loose as containers. 500 g are supplied on a coil. Suitable for most PLA compatible printers such as Lulzbot, Makerbot, FlashForge, Dremel, Ultimaker, Printbot and more!
FE-PLA is a bit more brittle than standard PLA in filament form and requires special care when handling.
The processing is comparable to standard PLA. No heated bed required. For smaller nozzles and/or Bowden extruders, the pressure may be more uneven. We recommend printers with direct drive extruders with 0.6 mm nozzles, prefer a pressure temperature of 190-210 ° C (similar to standard PLA or slightly cooler) for the best results.
