I bought a Nixie tube clock that came as a basic open frame/plexiglass sandwich design, so I modeled up a case for it to try and fit the era of the Nixie tubes. I wanted the case to have a Bakelite'ish look to it, and after a lot of looking, I decided on this Amber Alchemy HTPLA that I already had in my stash. It printed up great, and I think it looks excellent (my experience with Bakelite is non-existent, so I don't know if it looks like it or not, but I love how it looks regardless)! The face is printed with Protopasta Steel-filled Metal Composite PLA with the Hilbert Curve on the face (bottom layer), and it printed perfectly as well, right out of the package. Thanks for making the great filaments that helped this little project become reality!
We love using all of the different metal filled filaments, they print like dream on our Prusa XL 5Ts with E3D Diamondback nozzles. Amazing results!
I never heard of this brand before, but I was looking for terracotta filament to produce mockups of a design that would ideally be made with terracotta. I was skeptical at first but wow this stuff is great. Wonderful texture, spot on color. Adding fuzzy walls in bambu studio really brought my project to life. High quality filament. Had no issues printing. They even sent a sticker. Will order more filaments from here for sure.
I would give it 4.5 as stars.It'san awesome filament.Easy to print,final product looks great. Only taking a half star off because of the color variation. I have an older batch and it's darker. This new one is lighter.
Love it and excited to explore with it.
It’s always easy to shop here and I have had a few other filament companies I’ve ordered from directly I can say it’s so easy on your site. I thank you for that.
I love the color of this filament and the added bonus that the reflective makes it looks glittery is amazing.
This is a great subscription. It has been very fun experimenting with he different filaments. This month is quantum dot filament, i am looking forward to creating something cool with that.
Disappointed because it was more purple than blue (think unicorn purple). It is amazing looking though and even though it is not the color I was looking for, I am going to run with it for the skirts on my Voron Trident rebuild.
The filament, like the other Proto Pasta I have tried is amazing for the quality. The only drawback is the price, but let's be honest, quality costs... period. So, even though it is more expensive then other options, the color selection which is incredible and the quality is worth the extra.
To give an example of the quality, in the Voron community, we print a Voron cube for calibration to check things like PA, speeds, and flow. I printed a cube and then checked it out and at very fast speeds for my usual quality, I had incredible quality with smooth walls (good layer stacking) being one of the top things I can see with this material which speaks to the consistency of the material.
Zero issues with the ESD PETG, and Metal Composite PLAs. Reasonable shipping costs to Hawaii.
Havent printed yet as it just got to me in Ireland, but so far the colors of it i have so many ideas
