Conductive PLA

FDM 

Conductive PLA is a version of PLA that is perfect for parts that need to be electrically conductive. It has a volume resistivity (perpendicular to layers) of 30 ohm-cm.

About

Conductive PLA is designed for users interested in combining 3D Printing and electronics. It allows you to print conductive assemblies that integrate switches, potentiometers, LED’s, capacitive touch sensors, and more! It's technical properties are similar to standard PLA except for the volume resistivity. Volume resistivity perpendicular to layers is 30 ohm-cm while through layers (along Z axis) is 115 ohm-cm.
