Conductive material
Just ordered my first 3D printer - an i3 MK3. And should receive it in a day or two.
Anyway, is there any electrically conductive materials i can print with the MK3?
I am not trying to carry any currents through it, but rather for EMC sheilding.
I did see the copperfill filament, but its description only talks about the look, and not any electrical properties.
"Copperfill is a special filament with PLA base mixed with copper powder. Prints can be polished to achieve a metallic look."
Thanks in advance, and I might call out of work so I can assemble my MK3
Re: Conductive material
Proto-Pasta make some conductive filament. It's not copper wire but may suffice.
Re: Conductive material
At most with copperfill filament you may be able to make a resistor as it is copper particles suspended in a PLA matrix, it definitely would not be suitable to make any EM shielding or a Faraday cage from.

Holy smokes! That's for a 100g spool!

YA! LOL!
Re: Conductive material
I got some YS filament conductive filament, it wouldn't feed into my MMUv1. kept breaking, negligible tensile strength,
never got a satisfactory print out of it!
