Topic: Copper Infused Filament

Hello, I was wondering if there was any way to make copper infused filament without buying $50 pellets?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Copper Infused Filament

Sure, just add powdered copper to a base polymer.

The secret sauce is picking the right polymer, finding the right size powder, and figuring out the right mixing ratio.
