Material
Conductive PLA
Conductive PLA is a carbon-filled PLA that conducts electricity well enough for low-voltage, low-current parts such as touch sensors and simple circuits, with a volume resistivity of about 30 Ω·cm along the layers.

About
Conductive PLA is PLA filled with conductive carbon black, so printed parts can carry small electrical signals in switches, touch sensors, and low-voltage circuits.
Conductivity is modest, so it suits low-voltage, low-current use, not power wiring. Compared with standard PLA, it is generally more flexible, bonds less well between layers, and can crack if bent repeatedly, and it softens at about 50 °C like PLA.
Conductive PLA works well for touch sensors, simple circuits, and interactive prototypes.
