Proto-pasta Conductive PLA is an FFF/FDM filament, so now you can print circuit

assembles with touch or light sensors or LEDs to your gamut of 3D printed

creations!

Since this filament behaves similarly to iron, it's actually ferromagnetic, as

opposed to magnetic. This means that magnets will stick to items printed with

this filament, but 3D printed projects will not behave as magnets.

This filament behaves similarly to iron - even to the point of rusting - making it

a fantastic choice for costumes and props, so you can achieve that beautiful,

aged appearance.

And, of course, even though it has the word "Pasta" in the name, it's

not for

eating.

This filament performs best when extruded between 185°C and 215°C.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Resistivity:



Volume resistivity of molded resin (not 3D Printed): 15 ohm-cm



Volume resistivity of 3D printed parts along layers (x/y): 30 ohm-cm



Volume resistivity of 3D printed parts against layers (z): 115 ohm-cm



Resistance of a 10cm length of 2.85mm filament: 600ohm

Bed Temp (if available, is not required): 50°C

Hot End Temp: 215 – 230°C (Proto-pasta runs it on the hotter side to encourage

layer adhesion)

Performance:



Strength: Fair strength. More flexible than PLA, but less layer adhesion



Stiffness: Low, semi-flexible
