Once printed MetalFil – Ancient Bronze objects can very easily be brushed with a brass brush or sanded with a fine-grid sandpaper.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
By brushing and/or sand grinding your printed object you will brush/shine up the high concentration of bronze powders.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
After being brushed and/or sanded MetalFil – Ancient Bronze will reveal its white polish feature.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
A very thin white layer/haze on your object will now allow you to easily polish your 3D print into a beautiful bronze object.

Post-processing a MetalFil – Ancient Bronze 3D printed object with a rotary tumbler will make your FDM 3D printed object indistinguishable from genuine bronze casted objects.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
You can create several patina effects on MetalFil – Ancient Bronze printed objects in just one day time.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
With an ammonia and soda treatment you can for instance easily create a beautiful ancient blue weathering effect on your bronze object.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
After every above-mentioned post-processing measure, you can always wax or coat your printed object to get an incredible shine effect.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Surface finish
Waxing can be done with products such as beeswax and for coating one can think about products such as XTC-3D.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Nozzle wear
Please be aware that MetalFil filaments contain a very high concentration of metal powders, which have an abrasive nature.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Nozzle wear
In general, these metal powders will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Nozzle wear
We recommend using nozzles from stainless steel or other hardened alloys.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Printing advice
When printing with filled/composite filaments it is recommended to clean your nozzle immediately after printing by feeding 15-20cm PLA filament through your nozzle.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Printing advice
This will make sure that any potential fillers are flown out of your nozzle.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Ancient Bronzep. 1 - Printing advice
It is even better to use glow in the dark PLA as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are much more likely to scrape out residual waste from your nozzle.

FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Printing advice
If blobs/lumps form around the nozzle then your print temperature is too high.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Nozzle wear
Please be aware that MetalFil filaments contain a very high concentration of metal powders, which have an abrasive nature.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Nozzle wear
In general, these metal powders will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Nozzle wear
We recommend using nozzles from stainless steel or other hardened alloys.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Printing advice
When printing with filled/composite filaments it is recommended to clean your nozzle immediately after printing by feeding 15-20cm PLA filament through your nozzle.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Printing advice
This will make sure that any potential fillers are flown out of your nozzle.
FormFutura, MetalFil - Brassp. 1 - Printing advice
It is even better to use glow in the dark PLA as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are much more likely to scrape out residual waste from your nozzle.
