Stainless Steel PLA
Stainless Steel PLA is 93% more dense than common 3D printing PLA filament, so 3D printed
objects will have a surprising weight to them. You can also make your printed objects look like
cast metal through polishing. Post-print processing with successively finer grits of
sandpaper and finishing with a cloth wheel minimizes any visible layers while showing off the
shiny, metallic finish. Stainless Steel PLA works well for models and figurines, costumes,
jewelry, and props.
Due to the blended metal powder found in this filament, we strongly recommend using a
LulzBot Tool Head with a .5mm nozzle for optimal 3D printing performance.
Extrusion Temperature: 230°C
PEI Print Surface Temperature: 60°C
Part Removal: 50°C
Tips: Polish your print to expose the shine.
Tips: Abrade the print and oxidize the sur-
face for a patina.
t-glase
t-glase is clearly a great choice for users seeking a high degree of translucence! This filament
is a PETT (polyethylene terephthalate)-based material that is not only easy to use, but has a
unique ability to act as a light pipe to transmit light. Printed objects in t-glase are durable and
due to the low shrink rate of this material, consistent. It handles bridging well and is most
suited for aesthetic applications due to its optical properties. Vases, figurines, lampshades, and
light coverings are optimal prints for t-glase.
This material comes in a wide variety of color choices. The thicker the layer height, the more
translucent t-glase prints will be.
Applying a glue stick (such as Elmer’s® brand) directly to the print surface before starting your
LulzBot 3D printer is strongly recommended for increased printed object adhesion.
Extrusion Temperature: 240°C
PEI Print Surface Temperature: 60°C
Part Removal: 50°C
Tips: Print on bare glass or treat PEI print
surface with PVA glue stick.
