We haven’t seen too many of these around so figured we would post up our first attempt at some rusted finishes.
Printed with the Proto-pasta Magnetic Iron, a little salt bath and some sun and we have a classic antique marving on our hands. Really liking this filament and wait till you see how it looks in our steampunk masterpiece!
That looks great! I’m curious, how models would look like as a rusted 3d print, when the real-life part is usually made out of metal, too. I’m thinking about a rusty anvil or a charcoal-powered train (probably not the right term) being 3d printed out of the magnetic iron filament. I’ve once printed a small lion bust out of a copper composite filament, that, or any other animal bust would look amazing with this material too, I guess. What was your general experience with printing magnetic iron Filament? Cheers, Marius Breuer
Steampunk Marvin is pretty damn cool! Would you mind sharing the printing settings and processing details you used to achieve such an amazing print? Many of us would like to try this now
Check this one out I wrapped him with a peroxide, vinegar, salt soaked towel and put him in a plastic bag in the sun. The rusting is almost immediate but I left this over the weekend. More steps on our @proto_pasta Instagram page
