I have used many different filaments from Proto Pasta and can highly recommend them.

Wow, that is nice! Have you tried the copper filament? Does it work ok with the Snapmaker?
I have not tried the copper filament from PP, I have used their iron filled filament and itās fantastic.
Please remember that any of the āfilledā filaments are going to prematurely wear your nozzle out due to their abrasive nature. A hardened steel is recommend when printing āfilledā filaments. Iām not aware of any after market nozzles for the Snapmaker yet.
Just got done printing this out of copperFill from Colorfabb. Still have to brush and spray for a nice patina.

Amazing indeed. Please share the end result with us! I have a couple of spare nozzles, but how much do you think those filled filaments damage the nozzle? Is it a one-time use and then itās ruined? Sorry for the dumb question, Iām really new at this.
I have a printer dedicated just for filled filaments. It got a hardened nozzle installed in it the day I decided to print abrasive filaments, To be honest, I have never worn out a nozzle. Just been going by filament mfgās recommendations of using hardened nozzles.
Remember Snapmaker supplied a spare nozzle for us. I would try it. The nozzle isnāt going to wear out after a single use.

Lulzbot, yes, but I would not advise using filled filaments like ProtoPasta, Woodfill, Graphene etc. on the Snapmaker because of the small nozzle size developing clogs.
The wear on the nozzle is typically small but after a few months definitely noticeable.
