April discount + product updates

Looking for a deal? For April, our sale collection includes existing marble + smoothie colors and multicolor filaments with a pastel look. The discount code SHOWERMEWITHSAVINGS gives 30% off items in the sale collection this month!

​White Rigid TPU is nearly sold out, but being replaced with Clear Rigid TPU.

​Clear Rigid TPU is the same TPU grade as white, but without pigment. Same exceptional performance characteristics like UV, chemical, and impact resistance. Rigid TPU makes durable living hinges and can be dyed to color.

To revisit the benefits of Rigid TPU, visit our blog on the topic.

Brass is temporarily unavailable (2 x 500g spools left when sending this email, but planned to restock in about 2 months) as we wait for more metal powder to arrive, but supply of our other metal filaments remains uninterrupted.

With the recent addition of Gold, Blue, and Burgundy color Stainless Steel, our original Steel Composite is now upgraded to 400-series stainless which is magnetic! How cool is that?

Stainless Steel colors were a recent exploration, but our most recent exploration included Polyketone (PK or POK) reinforced with fibers, glass and carbon. While PK is too challenging for now to produce more, we do have some leftovers for those that missed out or want more.

Wonder what May's Endless Exploration topic is? For some it's used to simulate bone, but it's also a lot like stone. Subscribe by April 30 to get May's shipment. Rock on!

We continue use Protopasta cardboard spools without modification in our Bambu AMS (like seen below). That said, we realize experiences vary. That's why we created options explained in this 2023 blog which is referenced by our more recent 2024 Bambu blog.

For those who like the perforated spool side feature for 500g spools, the perforations are gone from new spools. We, however, created a downloadable, 3D printable cutting tool so you can still have that feature. It works with a standard #11 blade and X-ACTO knife.

Is that it? Yes, for now. Thanks for allowing me to catch you up on all these topics!

Enjoy the pasta,

Alex and the Protopasta Team
