PolyCast™

Last year I bought 2 polycast filaments, everything was great, shipment arrived at the according time frame but the issue was that one of the filaments was a Polymax PLA (which is cheaper than the polycast). We couldn't make a refund request since we didn't realize this after like 2 months of buying it because it was a buy for just testing the polycast material so we didn't open the box until two months later.Other than that the material is an amazing quality and it completely reached our expectations. I just hope that now that we are buying more everything arrives as expected.

Worked fine. Printed like PLA and burned out like wax. Couldn't ask for more.

PolyCast is an excellent synthetic investment casting wax filament that can be 3D printed. Detail reproduction is good for most applications. Casters report that for thick section parts some ash occasionally remains otherwise they say it integrates well into their investment process. Alcohol sealing often smooths or rounds the edges of details.

It prints well at .10 on my Prusa Mk3. I will warn you that it absorbs moisture very quickly. If you don't have a filament dryer you will not will have unusable filament by the third print.

This PLA leaves no/little ash or remains during lost PLA casting. I tried to get creative and use this with a brass pour on top of the PLA without melting it out beforehand, just to see what would happen. The PLA material remained and only the top had been melted. Don't judge, I was curious.

As the founder and lead creative force behind a company that prides itself on innovative jewelry design, 3D modeling, and a host of crafting techniques, I'm constantly in search of materials that not only meet but exceed our high standards. It's with great enthusiasm that I share my experience with Polymaker PolyCast Filament, a product that has truly revolutionized our approach to investment casting and beyond.The PolyCast Filament is designed specifically for investment casting, and its performance has been nothing short of transformative. The precision it allows in 3D printing models is unparalleled, providing the perfect foundation for our lost wax and sand casting processes. This filament has enabled us to produce intricate designs with a level of detail that was previously unattainable, enhancing the quality of our final products significantly.One of the most remarkable features of the PolyCast Filament is its ash-free burnout, which is critical for a flawless casting process. This property ensures that the residue does not interfere with the mold, resulting in clean, detailed casts every time. The reliability and consistency of the results have not only streamlined our production process but also increased our capacity for innovation and experimentation.Additionally, the environmental consideration in the product's packaging, with its cardboard spool, aligns perfectly with our company's commitment to sustainability. It's a detail that might be overlooked by others, but for us, it signifies Polymaker's dedication to reducing plastic waste, a principle we deeply appreciate and support.Integrating the PolyCast Filament into our workflow has opened new avenues for creativity and efficiency. Its impact is evident in the enhanced quality of our jewelry pieces and custom designs, drawing praise from clients and viewers alike. As a vlogger and streamer, sharing my experiences and processes using this filament has engaged my audience more deeply, showcasing the potential of combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.In summary, the Polymaker PolyCast Filament has not just met our needs; it has exceeded them, becoming an invaluable asset to our creative toolbox. It has elevated our casting processes, allowed for greater creative expression, and reinforced our commitment to environmental responsibility. For any professional in the fields of jewelry making, 3D design, or crafting, I cannot recommend this filament highly enough. It's not just a material; it's a catalyst for innovation and excellence.

It took longer than expected but did burn out completely from my plaster mold. Printed fine with settings shown in spool.

Works great

Product is as advertised. Have not used it in casting yet. But works well on the printer
