Conductive Filament Test Print

thingiverse

This is an easy print just to test the conductive performance of a filament. You can print it with a single extruder printer, just have a pause @ 6mm height to change the filament. I have printed it with a 0.2mm layer resolution. It's designed to accommodate a CR2015 battery. The switch has been made using a piece of filament heated with a cigarette lighter and pressed in place. Take care not to burn it! Happy test! Print Settings Printer Brand: Deltaprintr Printer: Deltaprintr Assembled Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20% Notes: I have printed it with a standard PLA up to 6mm and Filoalfa conductive PLA the rest. The speed was set to 30mm/s for the entire print using a 0.8mm nozzle. Post-Printing After printing the part you can fix the LED just heating the LED terminal with a cigarette lighter or a hot air gun, press than the terminals into the PLA, if you do it correctly it'll be really hard to remove the LED from the PLA To create the switch do the same, heat the terminal of a piece of filament and stick it to the conductive PLA on you printed part. It's easier if you put a piece of paper as spacer on the other side of the conductive part. Enjoy!
