Inconel® 718 Print and Sinter Kit

Print and sinter Inconel® 718 with this package designed for quick metal printing success.

Package includes:

0.5kg Spool of Inconel® 718 Filamet™
FilaWarmer
0.6mm Hardened Steel Nozzle*
Alumina Crucible - 300mL or Graphite Crucible 765mL
Sintering Refractory Ballast - Sapphire3D Steel Blend - 1kg
Sintering Carbon - 0.5kg

*If your printer does not use MK8 or MK10 1.75mm nozzles, you will need to purchase a 0.6mm stainless or hardened steel nozzle separately.
You'll also need blue painters tape for bed adhesion. Filamet™ sticks hard to the print bed.

Inconel® 718 Filamet™ contains around 86% metal and has a density of 3.98g/cc.
Filamet™ enables any Fused Filament Fabrication printer to produce metal objects. Once fired in a sintering furnace, the result is 100% metal.

What you'll need to print:
* An FFF/FDM 3D printer
* Stainless or hardened steel nozzle sized at 0.6mm
* Filawarmer
* Blue painters tape for your print bed. Glue sticks also work on glass print beds*

What you'll need to debind & sinter:
* Any Kiln or Furnace that can hold the sinter temperature of your desired material. (Sinter temps listed here.) The Virtual Foundry sells two sizes of kiln: Starter and Pro
* Crucible 
* Sintering Refractory Ballast - Sapphire3D Steel Blend
* Sintering Carbon

Slicer Setup: Start with a basic PLA profile for your printer. Change the nozzle temperature to 225°C (437°F). Optionally, set the print bed to 40-50°C (104-122°F). Set the flow rate to 135%. Adjust settings from there as needed.

Tip: Put a layer of blue painters tape on the print bed. Filamet™ has great adhesion to the bed.

Nozzle: 0.6mm or larger, stainless steel.

Spool Placement: Reducing friction and pull on Filamet™ during printing is important. Try hanging the filament spool just above the printer.

Polishing: Visit our Use Instructions page for polishing guidelines.
