Pros

This plastic is a bit pricey costing about four times as much as regular pla. It's quite abrasive stuff and can snag easily, so careful winding of these loose rolls on a spool is a must. No issues with adhesion or warping.



Cons

Lulzbot mini keeps galling up the filament and won't feed past a few layers. Acetone seems to have little or no effect on the clog. Could not be fed through the bowden drive without breaking.

Quality


If you are expecting a bright chrome like finish you will be disappointed


If judging on quality alone id give it five

Competitiveness


It prints great on my printrbot sm with e3d v6 hotend and a warmish aluminum bed covered in kapton and aquanet


I had no issues with it in my ultimaker 2


There simply isnt to my knowledge another competitor offering a readilyavailable iron powder blended pla


I will certainly be trying another makerbot with this stuff as the rusting effect on the bot should look great

    For me pla heat creep has been an issue with all protopastas hightemp pla filaments but the ironblend is the worst


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have a print toolhead that is actually incapable of printing this filament past a few layers and another that will happily print with it flawlessly using default settings
