A low-cost way to try metal 3D printing: 100g of Bronze Filamet™ plus sample sintering consumables and a small crucible. Print on an open-architecture FFF/FDM printer and fire in a kiln.

What's in the kit

  • Filament: 100g, 1.75mm or 2.85mm, spoolless: enough to print and sinter the Universal Calibration Rings model twice
  • Refractory samples: Al₂O₃ and Magnesium Silicate
  • Sintering aids: Sintering Carbon sample and Kiln Paper sample
  • Crucible: 118mL stainless steel (expected life 3–4 cycles)
  • Sample green and sintered prints, with the Universal Calibration Rings or TVF coin

Specifications

  • Metal content: 86.0%–90.0% bronze (89/11 tin bronze)
  • Filament density: 4.10–4.50 g/cc
  • Nozzle: 0.6mm hardened steel, standard flow

Prints similar to PLA with minimal to no warping. Do not dry the filament: drying degrades the binder. For a full-size first project, see the Getting Started Bundle.

About this product

What is in the Evaluation Kit and what else do I need?
100g of Bronze Filamet (spoolless), Al2O3 and Magnesium Silicate samples, Sintering Carbon and Kiln Paper samples, a 118mL stainless steel crucible (about 3-4 cycles) and sample green and sintered prints. You still need a kiln to sinter.
Why start with bronze?
Bronze is The Virtual Foundry's most beginner-friendly metal: it prints easily, sinters reliably and gives dense, good-looking metal parts.
Will it print on my printer?
Filamet works on nearly all open-architecture FFF/FDM printers. Swap in a hardened steel nozzle (the size is in the specifications above) and print it like PLA. Not sure about your model? Email us the printer name and we'll check before you buy.
Should I dry it before printing?
No. Filamet is less hygroscopic than PLA, and drying degrades its binder, so keep it out of filament dryers. Feed it straight into the extruder.
