If you have a part that requires bridging and there is no way to avoid it, you might find that there is a specific fill angle that will work best for this material. Simplif圓D Version 4.0 added several new features related to bridging, including one that allows you to completely customize the direction of this bridging fill.

This means that parts with lots of large bridging regions will be very difficult to print. When the molten plastic is extruded across either side of the bridge, it droops excessively and eventually breaks before it can complete the bridge. Metal filled filaments are quite heavy, which has an impact on their bridging performance. This article will focus on materials that contain actual metal powders for a realistic metallic weight and feel. These filaments do not contain any actual metal powder, so they do not share many of the same benefits of the true metallic filaments. There are other metal-like filaments in the market that may just have metallic coloring added to the filament. Be sure to upgrade to a wear resistant nozzle in order to print this filament effectively. A standard brass nozzle will be too soft and will quickly wear down. Metal filled filaments also tend to be very abrasive as they are extruded through the hotend.

This means that the parts printed with metal-filled PLA will weigh significantly more than ones from the standard PLA, despite using the same settings and consuming the same amount of material. The presence of this metal powder makes the filament much heavier than standard plastics. The percentage of metal powder infused in each filament can vary depending on the manufacturer. Metal filled filaments contain very fine metal powder such as Copper, Bronze, Brass, and Stainless Steel.
