Stone effect filaments reproduce the look of marble, granite, slate and concrete thanks to the addition of mineral fillers that give the surface a matte, grainy and surprisingly realistic texture. They are perfect for vases, planters, decor items, design accessories, figurine bases, architectural models and objects where a natural, sophisticated look is required.
The result is tactile as well as visual: to the touch the prints really do feel like stone, and the veined marble or speckled granite effect hides the print lines very well. The base is typically PLA enriched with mineral powders: temperatures between 195 and 215 C and a bed at 50-60 C. The particles are slightly abrasive, so a wear-resistant nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm or larger is recommended. To bring out the effect it is best to print with thicker layers and reduce cooling; light sanding enhances the matte finish.
