With a resistivity of 15 ohm-cm, it enables functional electronics like LEDs and touch sensors directly in your prints. This filament prints at standard PLA temperatures (220-230°C) without a heated bed, though a heated bed can improve results. It features a deep black matte finish and comes on a fully recyclable corrugated spool. Designed and manufactured in the USA, it balances performance with sustainability, though it is more brittle than typical PLA and requires careful handling. ## Description 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 lad'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 . 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! Proto-pasta for more information. Review: Very finicky to print with. High impedance is not great for my purpose. Review: I am part of a community called Makers Making Change. We volunteer our time to make adaptive technology devices. I used this filament to print a palm ball stylus (a ball you can hold to operate touch screens). The original design called for a wire in the ball that runs down to the tip that contacts the screen. I thought about using conductive filament and found the Protopasta stuff. The palm stylus worked perfectly and looks great. The clients said the units worked perfectly. I have gone through two spools already with issue. Good stuff! ## Features - High electrical conductivity of 15ohm-cm suitable for lighting LEDs, touch sensors and other electronics. Comes on fully corrugated recyclable spool with standard dimension - Dark Black in color with good printing on PLA machines - Processing is comparable to standard PLA. No heated bed required, but it may improve results. Process may be less consistent on smaller nozzles (<4mm) and/or Bowden-type machines - We recommend printing this material at 220c-230c using a 4 mm or larger nozzle. Please note that this filament is more brittle than normal PLA and requires more careful handling to prevent breakage - Designed and manufactured in the USA with quality and as top priorities.

So as long as you can meet the filament makes recommendations:. "We recommend printing this material at 220c-230c using a 4 mm or larger nozzle. Please note that this filament is more brittle than normal PLA and requires more careful handling to prevent breakage" I thing it should work. **Q: Does this work with a 3d pen? Specifically 3doodler** A: Yes it will **Q: Having trouble with printed parts sticking (gluing) to kapton tape on a heated bed to the point the part is inseparable. What surface is recommended?** A: We like printing PLA on blue tape with no heat. It sticks well and is easy to remove.You can also try adding a little Z offset so that your first layer isn't as smashed down on the bed. **Q: Could you print guitar volume/pickup wiring layouts with this stuff?** A: Perhaps but you will have resistance per length and thickness. Do a test and measure with an ohm or voltmeter (with a battery). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on 22 September 2019* Very finicky to print with.

Good stuff! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***R on 10 October 2025* Worked just like pla+: tough, not stringy, with a matte finish. Much easier to work with than other "conductive pla" brands. Good value for the money, print quality is rarely an issue with the prusa mk4s. This holds true with this filament. It was a little sticky to the pei bed, but nothing a plastic scraper couldn't remove after it cooled down. ## Frequently Bought Together - Protopasta Electrically Conductive PLA 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 500g PLA Filament; 3D Printing Filament on Recyclable Cardboard Spool for 3D Printers Like Creality Ender, ANYCUBIC, FlashForge - Polymaker Fiberon PETG-ESD Filament 1.75mm Black 0.5kg – Electrostatic Discharge Safe, Tough PETG 3D Printer Filament for Electronics Industry - Reprapper Electrically Conductive PLA Filament 1.75mm (± 0.03mm), 1kg (2.2lb) Black PLA Filament for 3D Printer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/65813524-proto-pasta-cdp11705-composite-conductive-pla-1-75-mm-500](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/65813524-proto-pasta-cdp11705-composite-conductive-pla-1-75-mm-500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
