ZIRO PLA Marble Filament 1.75mm, Nature Rock-Like Material, 1kg Marble

Another hit from ZIRO for us. Really splendid looking marble with a smooth finish. Prints easily without any issues of clogs using basic settings. Mild stringing, but that was without calibrating for testing.

Other blogs reviewed this filament and marked it as the best stone effect filament out there - and I have to agree! This looks fantastic and prints very well. I don’t know if Ziro normally does this, but my filament came with a sample multi-color filament and a hothead filament cleaner. The cleaner worked wonderfully in flushing out some stuck burnt filament so that this stone filament could print smoothly. A more accurate depiction of the speckled print would be diorite or white granite. Marble has long striations that occur during the metamorphic process that I doubt 3D printing filaments can ever truly replicate.

My Printer: CR-10 with stock hotend and stock extruder. Dual cooling ducts. I have only tested this PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle so far. Prints perfectly. Handles high speed at 200-205C with great adhesion and no clogs. Texture and color are consistent and is a fun stone like appearance. While the description says white, it is a very cool white that I would call more of a light grey. Which is great for the stone look. Keep in mind that it is a semi translucent PLA which is needed so the specks show up well. If you hold a flashlight up to it, you will see a lot of light with 1 wall. Which is great for fun looking night lights and LED based projects like light up statues, etc. It's not a clear PLA and everything I have printed so far looks solid with no obvious light coming through. I love this marble PLA. For prints you don't plan to paint, it really gives a new look for your raw prints.

I used this to print a 15" tall model of "David" by Michelangelo, and it turned out stunning! I enjoy printing models of statues, buildings and monuments that my wife have seen in our lives and this PLA did NOT disappoint me. Although it is a bit brittle it printed smoothly (very smoothly) on my CR-10S (set at .1). It did not have a high gloss, but a rather low to medium gloss which added to the realism of the model. Friends and family that have looked at it and handled it were surprised at how lightweight it was because it really does look like solid marble. This is a really great PLA that I will be buying again, and again...Kudos to ZIRO for producing a quality product at an affordable price!

So you can see in my pictures a beautiful little orc sorcerer. Its basically flawless and the marble is pristine looking. What you dont see is several major failures in models. First, this and supports dont seem to mix well. The supports for whatever reason, appear to not hold up as the models get tall. Maybe it needs a better constant temp or maybe it performs poorly with thin walls. Either way, supports are an issue. This orc was a support less print. Both large models with supports ive tried ended up failing badly. Second, this pla will be hard on a brass nozzle and wear it out, I broke one in one of my printers before I knew that. Print with a hardened nozzle. Lastly, it prints better at about 215 for me, where normal pla I print at 200. So once you get the details right, its great. But the details matter more than when using normal pla

Fairly new to 3D printing (less than month ownership, but lots of research). Used this in a CR-10 and had no problems with it once i got my temps settled out ( 210 / 70, this accounts for about a 5 degree mismatch from reported to what actual temp is taken with laser temp probe on my printer) Yes its not a true "marbled" look, but it is a different look and you'll either like it or not. It looks nice for busts or plaques and captures detail pretty well. I used a good portion for pieces towards a Destiny 2 Sunshot build that im working on. Had no issues with bed adhesion (that were not of my own fault). Print on a mirror tile with just a light bit of glue stick. Had no clogs to speak of and honestly not much stringing either which is probably why I will purchase more in the future, but at the moment i have about 5 or 6 other rolls of Ziro filament im planning to try out.

The PLA is a great looking and I get a lot of compliments on it. But if your going to use it, print only smaller items. I have had 4 large failed prints cause I wasn't in the room when the filament ran out. The way it is attached to the roll, will not let it just pull off like other brands so when it nears the end, the filament gets tight due to being stuck in the spool and breaks at the print head while still being in the filament detector, causing the printer to keep printing without filament. Nothing worse than losing multiple 4 or 5 day prints due to filament breakage. Once again, away from the printer once the filament ran out. So I have just lost another 2 days and a whole roll of filament. At this point I really feel like I should get some kind or reimbursement for all the lost time and money!!!

I was very happy with this purchase. Marble PLAs can tend to clog hotends and print inconsistently, but every part/piece that I've printed has come out clean. Excellent print bed and layer adhesion, and I've been able to print multiple in-place items without difficulty. No bubbling, popping, or other issues to suggest that it came to me waterlogged, and it has been sitting out for weeks without collecting enough moisture to create a problem. Great price for a great product. I'm very satisfied with this filament. BTW, Fakespot was suspicious about inauthentic reviews, but this one was written by an actual human who has used the product. It's a good buy.

Filamento di eccellente qualità, nonostante la composizione particolare non consuma l'ugello e presenta quasi meno difficoltà di taratura rispetto al normale PLA. Produce ottimi risultati già a 200°C, lasciando una finitura parzialmente opaca e nessun effetto distintivo al tatto. Con temperature più alte si può rendere l'effetto più lucido, ma aumentando anche leggermente la probabilità di sbavature. Molto tollerante riguardo a velocità e ritrazione, anche a 100mm/s fatica a presentare difetti dove altri filamenti a tinta unita ne mostrerebbero.

This filament is great ! Apart from being relatively inexpensive the finished result is more of a `speckled Corian` finish rather than Marble but the speckled finished hides no end of printing sins. I found that I can easily print with crude layers and have much less discernible layer lines due to the visual texture. A big plus is the packaging, the separate self sealing bag for use after initial opening is a nice touch and not replicated by much more expensive products. I am a relative newbie to the 3d printing world but learning fast. My successful results were printed on a Balco Touch (rebadged poor substitute for the Wanhau Duplicater I3 Plus - a bit of an Aldi rip off). I have upgrade the hot end to a Full metal Micro Swiss unit with enhanced blower, printed on a glass bed with hairspray. Printing at 190 -200c with a bed temp of 60 c (first layer 70 c). I will be looking out for more filament by Ziro

Habe das Marble Filament zum ersten mal bestellt und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Abgesehen vom optischen Reiz des Marmor-Looks. (Hat auch was von 90er Jahre Kunststoffteilen, was ich als Kind der 90er natürlich klasse finde): - Druckqualität und Druckbetthaftung sind sehr gut - Die beigelegte wiederverschließbare Tüte ist recht stabil, luftdicht und schützt zumindest einseitig vor schädlicher Sonneneinstrahlung. - Erstaunt hat mich das Reinigungsfilament. Das habe ich bisher überhaupt noch nie gesehen. - Zusätzlich ist noch eine Probe durchsichtiges Glitzer-Filament in der Packung gewesen, was auch äußerst selten und sehr willkommen ist. Insgesamt also ein sehr positiver Eindruck. Ich hoffe, dass diese hohe Qualität weiterhin geliefert wird, denn dann werde ich noch viele weitere Kilo dieses Filaments bestellen. 👍👍

Super filament

ziet er mooi uit, loopt niet uit wat belangrijk is voor kleine spelingen, zoals scharnieren
