Topic: Alternative to Bronzefill?

I was just about to buy some bronzefill from colorfab the other day when I noticed that it was shipping from the netherlands.  I wondered if there was a closer shipper and I came across LD Bronze, which is much cheaper (~$35 for 1kg vs. ~$100 for .75 kg).  The only problem is I haven't been able to find any review of the filament and the company doesn't even have a website!


This is what I am talking about:
http://www.4inkjets.com/FLPLA175HBZ-LD-Bronze-OEM

What is more confusing is the box in the background says it is PETG, but the order form says it is PLA. I thought it might also be just "Bronze color", but it claims to "featuring a metallic bronze finish" using a special additive.  Has anyone here used this material, and is it a good alternative to bronzefill?

Re: Alternative to Bronzefill?

Just order it from http://printedsolid.com/ Ships from Newark Delaware USA. Matt  was a big help getting me started in 3D printing . He just updated the web site and it looks great.  Folks here have used the colorfabb bronze. And several members here order from printedsolid.

Also be aware bronze color filament is not the same as bronze fill that is why it is cheaper

A 750g roll  of colorfabb Bronzefill will run you 70.99 and a 1.5 kilo roll goes for $ 106.99 so you save some buck by getting the large size roll.
