Print Speed: 40 – 100 mm/s

Printing: Depending on your set-up, 3d printer and slice software, you might see that CopperFill needs a bit more flow compared to your normal PLA settings. Most plastics will show die swell when coming out of the nozzle tip, this is counteracted with specific slicer settings. Since CopperFill doesn’t show a die swell such as PLA you might need to increase flow rate a bit, 4-8% was perfect for our UM2. .
Post Processing: Sanding and polishing your parts will make the copper particles shine. Start sanding with grit 120-180 and make sure all the printed lines vanish. You’ll notice that because CopperFill is easy to sand down, be careful not to loose too much detail. Then start working your way up by following with grit 240-320 and finishing off with grit 600 – or higher. Finally use a clean soft cloth and some polish to really get all of the shine out of the copper particles.
