This amazing filament is a blend of PLA and carbon Fiber by ProtoPasta in the USA. It prints easily at 230-245 degrees on a cold bed. We used glue on a glass bed for our test. Tendancy to leave small balls/pimples on surface which easily clean up. Will wear nozzle so we advise using a wear resistant nozzle (sold seperately). Produces impressively strong models with minimum fuss and difficulty.
We have printed a lot of this material using the Makerbot Replicator 2 with the TC coated nozzle.
These are the settings we use:
Extrution temp: 240 degrees
Resolution: Usually at 200 micron. Finer does not tend to be as reliably, and layer adhesion is more poor at 300 micron
Print/travel speed: The default 80 mm per second.
Shells (wall layers): Usually 3 or more
Fill: 15-20 percent fill.
Rafts and Support: Supports work well and can easily be removed in accesible places. We use a rat tail (or jewlery file) to smooth off support contact points. Rafts on the other hand can be very difficlt to remove.
Build surface: Generally we print straight onto cold glass plate

PLA Blend Filament - 1.75mm - Stainless Steel - 500g Spool
Proto-pasta Stainless Steel PLA is a dense material that prints as easily as standard PLA but results in heavy prints that can be finished post-print to achieve amazing results. Perfect for jewelry, costumes, props, figurines, crafting, robots, and more!
In filament form, SSPLA is slightly more brittle than standard PLA, and requires extra care when handling.
Processing is comparable to standard PLA (extrudes at 190-240C). No heated bed required. Due to increased brittleness, process may be less consistent on smaller nozzles and/or bowden type machines.

PLA Blend Filament - Magnetic Iron - 1.75mm - 500g Spool
This amazing filament is a blend of PLA and carbon Fibre by ProtoPasta in the USA.
Proto-pasta Magnetic Iron PLA - as its name implies - responds to magnets and behaves similarly to pure iron, even to the point of rusting! Magnetism opens up a new world of practical applications and fun creations.
It extrudes at 190-200 degrees c on a cold bed. We have tested on buildtak wit glue stick and it sticks well. Prints best at thicker resolutions like 300 microns, but will look like 100 micron. Our tests showed no spider webbing at all, and models held water after printing. It can lift in unsupported areas, but quickly recovers on the next layer. Sands nicely with very course sandpaper. Can get rust effect by submerging in with salty water for 2-3 hours. In our tests it was not too abrasive on nozzle, but recommend a wear resistant nozzle.
