    there was an article on 3dprint.com and I'll post up a review when I've printed some more stuff :-)
    http://www.reprappertech.com/blog/Aluminum-filament1/

    the picture on the page makes it look very dark - it isn't. Hang on:

    Here's the aluminium filament next to a couple of trolley tokens printed with the copper filament.


    Heres the aluminium filament by itself in comparison to one of my stainless steel scrapers. I haven't printed anything with the aluminium filament yet. Maybe today.




    The copper filament is amazing. It actually has a metallic sheen. And bear in mind this stuff doesn't need to be sanded and polished. It's also a lot lighter than the colorfabb filaments, so you get more for your money.
    It's not abs though. Personally I thnk that's a bonus :-) The reprapper tech pla is super strong and every bit as durable as the abs I've used.
