Summary CCTRee ST-PLA Gold is a gold PLA filament. The manufacturer says it comes with “increased toughness” and “increased shelf life” though we don’t necessarily know how to quantify that. We printed it on our Prusa I3 Mk3 with generic PLA settings, with our 0.4mm E3D Nozzle-X. We printed three models. The Yet Another Filament […]
Summary GreenGate3D Mars Red is a PETG made from recycled materials. According to the manufacturer, it prints a little cooler than regular PETG, and this may have led to a little bit of difficulty with our print — we tried to print it hot around 245 like our usual PETGs. Printing aroung 225 might yield […]
Summary Proto-Pasta Steel-Filled Metal PLA has a high percentage of steel particles. This filament is similar to Proto-Pasta’s Iron PLA, but the color is a little different and the filament is nonmagnetic (whereas the Iron PLA) is. This filament sample came with a recommendation to use an 0.6mm Nozzle or larger. and to use a […]
