Metallic Luster Texture - No Need for Spraying, Polishing & Post-Processing
eSUN PLA Metal produces stunning prints with authentic metallic luster texture that delivers a heavy metallic appearance without requiring any spraying, polishing, or post-processing treatment according to eSUN’s official specifications. The filament incorporates specialized additives that create a frosted, grainy metallic surface with reduced layer visibility, providing an antique rustic finish perfect for battle damage scenes and historical replicas. With density of 1.225 g/cm³ and excellent surface finish characteristics, this material eliminates the need for additional treatments while delivering professional-quality metallic aesthetics ideal for decorative objects, cosplay props, and artistic creations.
Easily Peel Off - Smooth & Flat Contact Surface with Good Printing Effect
eSUN PLA Metal features exceptionally smooth surfaces that don’t show layers, enabling support structures to peel off effortlessly while leaving smooth and flat contact surfaces according to eSUN’s technical documentation. The material demonstrates superior layer bonding with minimal stringing, no bubbles, no cracking, and excellent dimensional tolerance that ensures consistent feeding and stable prints with outstanding surface finish. With printability ratings of 9/10 and processing temperatures of 190-230°C, this filament maintains all the advantages of standard PLA including easy printing, low shrinkage, and reliable results while delivering enhanced surface quality.
Hard to Break - Enhanced Toughness & Durability
eSUN PLA Metal offers improved mechanical properties with tensile strength of 63.16 MPa and flexural strength of 92.18 MPa, making it significantly harder to break compared to standard PLA filament according to eSUN’s official technical data sheet. The material demonstrates enhanced toughness characteristics that prevent brittleness during handling and printing, ensuring reliable performance for functional parts and complex geometries. With IZOD impact strength of 5.07 kJ/m² and excellent durability for decorative applications, this filament provides the strength needed for detailed models while maintaining the easy printing characteristics that make PLA popular among makers
