Following the latest spurt of announcements in the materials space, Wisconsin-based The Virtual Foundry has recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for high-quality metal composite filaments. Their new line, called Filamet, features brass, copper, and bronze options. The filaments have about 85% actual metal, and each is available in both PLA and ABS types, in 1.75mm and 3mm diameters. Through Kickstarter, a 1/2 kg spool of each filament is $60 -- but from the look of finished pieces they've displayed, the cost is worth it for the quality achieved.
