General printing guidelines *

Nozzle size: ≥ 0.4mm

Layer height: ≥ 0.2mm

Experience level: Beginner

Print temp: ± 215 - 235° C *

Fan speed: 50-100%

 

Heat bed: ± 0 - 60° C

Enclosure needed: No

 

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There is a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.

*) If blobs/lumps form around the nozzle then your print temperature is too high.

Post processing MetalFil - Classic Copper

Brushing and/or sand grinding

Once printed MetalFil - Classic Copper objects can very easily be brushed with a brass brush or sanded with fine-grit sandpaper. By brushing and/or sand grinding your printed object you will brush/shine up the high concentration of copper powders.

Build-in white polish feature

After being brushed and/or sanded MetalFil - Classic Copper will reveal its white polish feature. A very thin white layer/haze on your object will now allow you to easily polish your 3D print into a beautiful copper object.

Professional polishing with a rotary tumbler

Post-processing a MetalFil - Classic Copper 3D printed object with a rotary tumbler will make your FDM 3D printed object indistinguishable from genuine copper casted objects.

Patina post-processing

You can create several patina effects on MetalFil - Classic Copper printed objects in just one day time. With an ammonia and soda treatment you can for instance easily create a beautiful ancient green/blue weathering effect on your copper object.

Waxing and coating

After every above-mentioned post-processing measure, you can always wax or coat your printed object to get an incredible shine effect. Waxing can be done with products such as beeswax and for coating one can think about products such as XTC-3D.

Abrasiveness

Please be aware that MetalFil filaments contain a very high concentration of metal powders, which have an abrasive nature. In general, these metal powders will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend using nozzles from stainless steel or other hardened alloys.

Nozzle cleaning

When printing with filled/composite filaments it is recommended to clean your nozzle immediately after printing by feeding 15-20cm PLA filament through your nozzle. This will make sure that any potential fillers are flown out of your nozzle. It is even better to use glow in the dark PLA as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are much more likely to scrape out residual waste from your nozzle.

Bright light
Size: 9004/HB1, Size: 9004/HB1
Keeping track of longevity. Had these bulbs for a month and will try and update if they fail. Unfortunately a while ago I hit a cow, seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, the truck was rebuilt and I wanted more/better road lighting. I am using these in a Mack truck for work so they are getting used. I run at least 10 hours a day, 5+ days a week and have at least 11k miles on them since installed. Install is just like a standard bulb no special steps needed. Produce a lot of light and good patterns on high and low beam. So far I really have only had one issue with the bulbs and that is the daylight running light/DRL operation, they don't work I believe the Mack drops the voltage to slightly dim the lights when running in DRL operation and this causes the bulbs to just intermittently flash so I just run with them on all the time. This I don't believe is the bulbs fault and is more an analog vs digital issue. Therefore I'm testing the longevity of the bulbs if my truck is running they are on. Will see how they do as the days get hotter as they are in a small sealed space.

Wow bright!
Size: H11+9005, Size: H11+9005
I have used Fahren LED headlights in two of my other vehicles so I had a baseline of what to expect, but these upgraded ones are even brighter than the ones in my other two cars. I love this brand because they are plug and Play so I have not experienced any compatibility issues. These feel high quality as I have expected due to past experience with this brand. I much prefer the bright white color of LED versus the yellowish Amber of halogens. I have been using this brand for several years now so I expect a good lifespan from this as I have experienced from other bulbs from this manufacturer. As far as value goes, the increase in visibility installing these is worth every penny and then some.

Good light, but blinding
Size: H7
The light itself is good and bright and fits well, but I don't know if I installed it wrong, but the driver's side is very blinding, and I feel bad for other drivers and can't do anything about it.

Easy to install, extremely crisp and bright
Size: H7
My H7 Termitor Headlights are wonderful for my 2014 VW Jetta SE 1.8l turbo. Extremely bright and super easy to install since they have the exact fitting as the factory bulbs. Only thing I would have done differently is to use the adapter to maintain steady light. Whenever I'm in gear or roll the windows up or down I can see the lights dim and after I drive for a while they aren't as bright as when I first started the car. Otherwise they are great, very bright, no warm up time, and clean crisp light. They're even brighter than my factory brights (which I still have installed with the factory bulbs, can't even tell they're on with these!)
