You can use a rock polisher. Toss that thing and leave it for 24 hours.

That looks easy enough to work with, nice to know there are a few options but I do have a dremel anyhow so that'd do nicely. Thanks for the info

Also bear in mind the sensible way to use this stuff is to print a hollow model, knock a hole in the bottom and fill it with modelling clay (what colorfabb were doing at the tct show). This gives it weight and internal strength and preserves expensive filament.
The rotary tool is the way to go. Quicker, easier to use and you can also use it to buff and polish as well as fine sand.
What with my birthday next month and christmas the month after - I don't think I'll have any problems making a gift list of weird and wonderful filament this year :-)
Hmm, says this about the copper:*Testing showed reliable results using the all metal hot-ends, such as the E3D and the Makerbot Replicator 2 hotend. Hotends which use a teflon isolator coupler can generate adhesion to the copper filament possibly leading to clogs and is there for not recommended for novice users yet.
BUT it doesn't say the same for the bronze fill !
I'm hoping this is because it works with teflon and not because they just haven't got round to posting it :-)
Having seen both filaments together - apart from the copper being slightly lighter in colour they were very similiar.
You artistic types would probably think they were very different - That's not me :-)Last edited by curious aardvark; 10-10-2014 at 11:09 AM.

I'll leave experimentation to the hardcore users, my flashforge only recently arrived by mail so I've not even tried ABS yet!

Hi All- I have used the Bronze fill on my Printrbot Simple Metal (6x6 build platform). The stuff is incredible! It is definitely the best performing filament for my needs, that is available for desktop printers. I own a boutique watch brand and bought the printer to do some rapid prototyping. I was never expecting to have any 3d printed object be high definition. Rather I was just trying to get an idea, before I spent money going through the process of prototyping in steel. I have to say, this filament has far surpassed my wildest dreams. Upon following the finishing process on the manufacturer's website, my prints are immaculate. No print lines at all and shines just like bronze! this stuff is incredible!

cool, always good to have feedback.
Got any pictures of what you've made ?
Resin has changed after...
