Conductive Filament

Hi there.. does anyone have experience with conductive filament? The proto pasta, which is quite cheap, has a really high resistance. The only other two that seems to be good for simple circuits are Black magic 3d and this F-Electric . But.. They are so expensive!

Does anyone knows more about those?

Re: Conductive Filament

I am really interested in this, too. How high is the resistance of Proto Pastas filament? Where do you see its limitations? It would be nice to supply a microcontroller with it to control some LEDs.

F-Electrics Filament seems to be out of stock everywhere. And Black Magics filament runs at over $50 for 100g 🙁

High resistance means that there will be only very low current appliance available through those "lanes". Also if by mistake there is a "load" at the end of the link you made with protopasta (like a small 4WD motor), the conductive material will heat up fast and potentially start burning.

I want to print RFID like antenna, where there is no load but the conductivity of the lanes is really a sensible param.
