Product Details
- Metal Infused Filament: Protopasta Metal Filled PLA 3D Printer Filament is comprised of a base PLA plastic mixed with 60% by weight copper powder. This 500g spool of 1.75mm metallic composite filament has twice the density of standard PLA filament, making it perfect for prints requiring a metal look and feel.
- Multi-Purpose Metal Filament: Proto pasta printing filament is ideal for many different printing projects due to it's unique ability to be polished and/or have a patina for a truly metallic-looking finish. This lends a more realistic feel when printing models such as cars, tools, tabletop game miniatures, and other metallic accessories.
- Consumer Printer Compatibility: Our metal-infused PLA filament is compatible with most consumer printers such as Prusa, Bambu, Creality, and Ender. The high-quality copper PLA filament prints smoothly without causing clogs or bubbles so that your prints turn out how you expect them to.
- Materials Made in USA: ProtoPlant Proto pasta products are well known in the 3D printing market and we were one of the first to experiment with recyclable spools, composites, colors, and unique finishes. Our Protopasta filament and spools are made in the USA, providing you with the high-quality products you've come to expect.

Printing Proto-Pasta PLA
Proto-Pasta PLA in Copper runs on the PLA profile below, and this listing is a 0.5kg spool. PLA is best suited to everyday prototypes, models, and indoor parts that won't face heat or heavy stress. Brands and even individual spools vary, so treat these as starting points and run a quick temperature tower to lock in the sweet spot for your printer.
Ranges checked against Bambu Lab, Prusament and Polymaker data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our PLA filament guide for bed adhesion, drying, troubleshooting, and material-specific tips.
Nozzle Compatibility
This listing includes metal-filled filament. Metal powder fills such as bronze, copper and steel are highly abrasive. Use hardened steel or a ruby nozzle, starting about 5 to 10°C hotter than with brass.
Based on Prusa and colorFabb guidance. More in our nozzle types guide.
