Stainless Steel 316L Filament is available as 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament and as pellets. Specs: This filament comes in 0.5kg and 1kg spools and 1kg bags of pellets. It contains 80.0% - 85.0% metal and has a density of 3.5g/cc. High Compatibility: This Filament enables any open-architecture Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer to produce metal objects. Even works in 3D printing pens! Easy to Print: All you need is an open architecture 3D printer, a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle, a Filawarmer, and a model to print. Print like regular PLA. Place your spool so that the filament coming off is going straight into the extruder. The flow rate in your slicer may need to be adjusted up to 135%. Little to no warping occurs during printing. Advanced Properties: Filament is less hygroscopic than regular PLA. Filament dryers have adverse affects on Filament. Spools should not be dried. Fully Sinterable Metal Filament: Once fired in a sintering furnace, the result is 100% metal.

This 3D printing filament is made from Stainless Steel, specifically alloy grade 316L, which is a low carbon stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance and suitability for sintering into fully metal parts.

The filament is sold on 1 kg spools and is designed for use as is; no custom cutting options are available. It is intended to be used directly on compatible open-architecture Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printers.

Yes, this filament has been used by partner innovators for aerospace and automotive research, making it ideal for prototyping and short-run manufacturing of metal parts without tooling or machining costs.

You need an open-architecture 3D printer with a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle and a Filawarmer. The filament prints similarly to PLA but may require adjusting the flow rate up to 135% in your slicer.

No, an MTR is not available for this product as indicated in the product details.
