Stainless steel PLA?

[muon]

Any 3D printer junkies here ever used this?

Looks kind of cool in theory but I have the suspicion that it'll look like shiny normal PLA after a full print.

Yea, but you still can't print the keycap stems with this.

It's essentially an aesthetic improvement only , vs regular pla

It's no stronger than PLA.
Also, something to keep in mind, as with all metal impregnated plastics, it will slowly grind out your nozzle opening, especially if you have an aluminum tip. Metal impregnated is only for aesthetics.

Regarding nozzles...
Older glow in the dark will also do this very quickly due to the crystals, newer glow in the dark is better, but still does it's  also very brittle, I've seen a few people try using it to build printers and they broke apart during assembly, where other with the same infill have lasted years.

Carbon fiber PLA can also hone out your nozzle, but does make it stiffer. However, where normal PLA would just bend, carbon PLA will simply snap. Neat stuff though, I'm not sure if it actually is lighter, but it feels lighter than normal PLA.

Hmmm, disappointing, but about what I expected.

Thanks for the response!

Looks cool but not the replacement for the $$$ metal printers you were probably looking for.
