Don't buy

As said in first comment, very britle. The filament did brake 5 times between the extruder and the roll for a small print. Don't use retractation as again the filament will brake jamming the extruder.
Also, the filament retracts a lot while printing wheras a regular PLA. I had to use 130% flow to acheve something.
For the look, with sanding and polishing you can achieve something a bit original, but not very nice looking. I will see if a bit of rusting improves it.
Not worth the high price IMO, many better filaments available on this site.

sehr brüchig und kaum druckbares Filament. Bronze-Effekt sehe ich nicht. Das ist nur eine braune Sauce die aus dem Extruder kommt. Ausgehärtet sieht's auch nicht besser aus. Nicht polierbar.

Good material

Very simply printable.
After printing the appearance of ceramic without glaze.
After grinding with sand paper, metal scales begin to shine.
After polishing, it has the appearance of a old metal - color is, I think, more brown than bronze (rusty iron?).

Isn't bronze color

Oct 09, 2018

First of all color, it's more like sand than a bronze or brass. However it is composite just like advertised, it weights considerably more than normal pla and it does oxidize with slight green tint.
It prints quite well, matte finish of filament blends layers well, but doesn't look metally. Layer adhesion is OK, but overall durability is reduced.
Overall, quite nice for sculptures, especially tanks and other sand colored vehicles, but too weak and costly for functional parts
