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!
Let us know your thoughts!
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
Thanks for the feedback! Yeha as mentioned it prints great - I actually run the same settings for it as I do with the Colorfabb which is pretty much the recommended settings and it prints awesome. I actually quite like it when it fresh as it looks more metallic than the other metal fills. Cheers!
Haha - we’ll have to customize him and add some gears next time. Gears for ears would be dope.
About 2hr to print (he’s 2x size) and rust only took a day - salt bath for half - in the sun for half. But he’s getting more sun as we speak and I cleaned up some of the salt crystals so he’s gonna be looking extra grimey.
Loving that aesthetic! Amazing!!!
This is a work of art, really! Need to step up my Marvin game
awesome!
