Hi,

I am looking for a datasheet for the copperfill filament from Colorfabb. I would like to know how much copper is in the filament because I could not find any official statement. Only some news sites say it is 85%.
My project needs a filament with copper as much as possible.

Kind regards,
tom

Yep, they apparently don't say it. Assuming that they put in the copperfill filament as much copper as they put bronze in their bronzefill, we can get a clue. Bronzefill has a density of 3.9g/cm³. If the PLA or whatever they mix has a density of about 1.4, and bronze more or less 8.5, then 1.4*(1 - x) + 8.5 * x = 3.9 --> x = 0.35 more or less, which is consistent with the percentage used in wood-like filaments (I read between 30% and 40%). If it were 85%, it would probably break if you stare at it too intensely.

Edit: of course if you consider the weight instead of the volume, then you get that the metal is 75% of the filament, but I think this measure would be misleading.
