Atomic Rust
Introducing 'Atomic Rust'
A custom design keychain utilizing the Atom Engineering logo.
For this project I used Proto-pasta Metal Filled PLA. Specifically the copper and iron filled composite PLA's.
Additionally I post processed the parts by roughing up the surface using a rotary tool and metal brush to expose metal particles. The brushed the parts down with a salt and vinegar solution, let sit for 8-10 hours, then rinsed with water. Resulting in the beautiful patina you see in the images above.
This was a super fun project and one I would recommend to anyone interested in playing around with unique materials.
