Product Review

Have you ever wanted to create something with your 3D printer that includes electronics may be an LED, touch sensor, or some other genius invention to solve the world€s problems then Proto-pasta conductive PLA is the perfect Material for you! this carbon-black based conductive PLA is many times more conductive than similar products with a molded resistivity of 15ohm-cm. In practical terms, if you measure a 10 cm length of 1.75mm filament the resistance will be about 2k-ohm, and 10 cm of 2.85mm filament will measure about 0.8K-ohm. This is enough conductivity for lighting up led€s, powering low draw circuits, running capacitive touch sensors, and interfacing with your favorite touch screen device!

proto-pasta conductive PLA prints with normal PLA settings on the higher temperature range, up to 240C. It prints well on most machines, larger parts can warp and a moderate heated bed can help. Layer adhesion is not as good as normal PLA and it is mechanically less strong. The filament is relatively brittle and can break easily if not handled carefully. The color is very Dark Black with a shiny appearance.

These 500G spools are shipped on the industry's only fully recyclable corrugated paper spools with no metal or plastic parts. These extremely high quality spools are rigid, lightweight, attractive, and eco-friendly. They also have a larger than normal inner core improving printability of the last few layers of Material, especially on 2.85mm diameters. The different designs on each spool are actual drawings, schematics, and Code from the equipment we manufacture your filament on. Enjoy!
