Reprapper's new filament - Copper PLA

Entering 2015, Reprapper has successfully developed a new material for FDM-based 3d printers.

If you are a 3d printing hobbyist, and you find common 3d filament (ABS, PLA, PETG, Flexible...) just cannot meet all your needs for printing, try Reprapper's Copper PLA.

This new filament actually smells and feels like copper, which people may think it's pure metal filament. In fact, it's PLA-based filament added with copper, so it prints well on common FDM-based 3d printers. Models printed with this special filament have special surface and color like copper.

If you are interested in this new copper filament, see more at [www.reprappertech.com].

Out of curiosity, is this electrically conductive in any fashion?

If so, what is the resistance per mm or cm of the 1.75mm filament?

Pretty sure the copper PLA is non-conductive, though I could be thinking of another variant.

Im 99% sure none of those coppfer fill is electrically conductive in any fashion!

U wanna buy electrically conductive, then u need to find electrically conductive filaments.

Hi, Ezrec

Kurzaa and oklok are right, our Copper PLA is not electrically conductive.

But we have conductive ABS filament, the surface resistivity of which is 10³~10⁵ Ω.

"Conductive" being a relative term... That is roughly the same surface resistance as freshly cut wood.

While more conductive than say, air or glass, nobody has ever gotten terribly excited about making an electric circuit out of wood. There is however the Functionalize conductive PLA filament claiming to come in at under 1 Ω/cm and the CreoPop conductive "ink" photoresin, which they're very tight-lipped about specifics, but they've demonstrated the stuff, and it appears to work fairly well.

Feign, thanks very much for sharing information.

That product sounds good. Yes I know our conductive filament resistance is not so small value like that.

I will share this information to our R&D department to evaluate whether we will launch this project. Thanks again.

A customer just share his print job with us. From the pics, seems that reprapper's copper pla works quite well on his printer. http://imgur.com/a/l38qU
