Composite
materials
Composite materials (woodfill, copperfill, bronzefill, glow-in-the-dark, carbon or aramid
composites and many others) consist of a main plastic base and a second material in the
form of dust. These materials tend (except for wood composites) to be very abrasive,
therefore a hardened nozzle is strongly suggested for long-term printing. A larger nozzle is
recommended while printing with wood composites (0.5 mm and up). Please use
corresponding print settings in Slic3r or PrusaControl as print parameters can be very
different
depending
on
the
plastic
base.
The
first
step
in
polishing
is
sanding.
It’s
a
good
idea
to
start
with
a
coarse
grit
size
(80)
and
slowly
move
up
the
grit
table.
After
sanding,
a
big
improvement
in
polish
can
be
achieved
with
steel
wool
or
a
brass
brush.
If
you’re
still
not
happy
with
the
finish,
you
can
try
wet
sanding
with
a
very
fine
grit
(1500).
