SteelFill is a special type of PLA filament from Colorfabb that is infused with stainless steel powder. It prints with settings very similar to regular PLA filament, so you can get your first print without much difficulty. At the end of 3D printing, the surface will be matte. With a few post-production steps, such as sanding and polishing, the object will look like real steel.
Aside from the unique aesthetic it provides to the finished product, Colorfabb 's SteelFill filament is also three times heavier than regular PLA. This additional weight makes each print much more realistic and appreciable. Additionally, the material has magnetic properties that can result in interesting applications.
Tip: Being a powder-filled 3D printer filament, it is an abrasive filament, so it is preferable to use a steel nozzle rather than the classic brass one.
