Fillamentum
Printed by Staal3D | Model by Andrew Diehl on Thingiverse | PLA Extrafill Vertigo Galaxy
Fillamentum, a manufacturer of 3D printing filaments, has released to market its new PLA Extrafill Vertigo Galaxy material, suitable for Fused Deposition Modelling.
Showcased at the recent TCT Show, it is the second product in the Vertigo family, after Vertigo Grey was released in February 2017, and the 39th in the company’s wider Extrafill PLA range. The company hopes the new colour shade will garner a similar reception to the best-selling Vertigo Grey filament that preceded the Galaxy shade.
Both filaments share similar mechanical properties, and similar benefits to the user. Compatible with FDM 3D printing systems, Fillamentum says they enable high quality 3D printing, even when encountering the intricate details of a design, and provide excellent lamination of the printed object. The Vertigo filaments have diameter tolerance of +/- 0.05mm, which is said to be strictly controlled throughout the production of a printed object; work in temperatures between 190 and 210 degrees Celsius; and are available in sizes of 1.75mm and 2.85mm at lengths of 255m.

“Vertigo Galaxy is engineered for quality and superior galactic finish,” a company press release read. “Its decent and elegant colour in a shadow and fantastic shine on the light make your project look fabulous.”
Fillamentum develops its products in a wide variety of colours, in accordance with the RAL and Pantone colour charts, as well as in their own ‘unique’ colour shade, and has looked to cater for a range of 3D printing techniques. In addition to the 39 PLA Extrafill filaments available for its customers, Fillamentum also offers two PLA Crystal Clear filaments; 18 ABS products; and 8 ASA filaments. The company also boasts materials in Nylon, Co-Polyester, a wood composite filament range, and four support materials.
