Is this a real metallic material, and how does the finish behave?
The filament is PLA plastic with a metallic-looking silk gloss; there is no metal in it. The surface takes a smooth, reflective sheen with little layer-line haze, which is what makes a printed figurine or vase look like a finished retail item straight off the plate. It prints with ordinary PLA behaviour - nozzle 200-225 °C, standard PLA cooling - and carries no abrasive filler to wear a brass nozzle.
