Basalt Moon Dust Filamet™

Basalt Moon Dust Filamet™ is available as 1.75mm filament and as pellets.

Specs: This filament comes in 0.25kg and 0.5kg spools and 1kg bags of pellets. It contains 60.0 - 62.0% basalt.

High Compatibility: This Filamet™ 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%.

Advanced Properties: Filamet™ is less hygroscopic than regular PLA. Filament dryers have adverse affects on Filamet™. Spools should not be dried.

Fully Sinterable Filament: Once fired in a sintering furnace, the result is 100% basalt. Little to no warping occurs during printing. Sintering trials have not been conducted for this product.

Special Qualities: Simulation moon dust

Used For: Partner Innovators have used this filament for lunar construction research.

Note: All sales final except in cases of defective product.
