Colorfabb Brassfill 2.85mm

BrassFill filament is sold in 1.75mm or 2.85mm diameter on a 750g spool.

When it first comes off the 3D printer your model will have that laser sintered matte finish. If you want something shinier just sand and polish to give it a fantastic bronze finish. Its ideal for making jewellery and because of the brass particles, it even has that heavier, metal, feel.

For best results you will need to increase the flow rate by 4-8% although this will depend on your machine. For the best shiny finish start sanding with 120-180 grit sand paper then work your way up through the grades to 600 and finish off with a soft cloth and copper polish. The filament sands easily so be careful that you do not over-sand.

The best 3D printers for BrassFill are those with direct drive extruders.

The filament is softer than their other metal infill printer filaments and so you need to be careful when applying pressure to the filament and also to try not to over stress the filament with your retraction settings.
