Proto-Pasta Copperfill Filament - Printing and Post-processing

#3dprinting #decor #diy
I'm trying out a Proto-Pasta's Copper Filled Composite PLA filament. I'm also demonstrating a simple chemical treatment method, that can be done using some safe household chemicals.

I get a small cut when you use the links below and it does not cost you anything extra! And I DO actually use all these tools and materials, I do not advertise anything that I have not tried and found worthy myself.

Thank you, for the infor. I just needed to know if it was conductive.

He did what needed to be done 🫡

[@LaughingMan44]

Nice and informative, thank you. How does this compare to Colorfabb? Their copperfill seems to have a higher percentage of copper.

[@spyrolis]

Very nice video thanks :)
If i want to print something that normally take 508gr of PLA ( cura estimation ) how wuch will it take with the copper filled pla from Protopasta ? Two rolls ?

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

i need the answer for that too

[@unitsixteen7835]

I printed an ash tray that was estimated 100gr in Cura. It came out at 200gr. The copper HTPLA is denser than standard PLA so the amount of filament per gram will be more. A better way to determine filament use would be length needed for the part, since density is irrelevant in that respect.
