How Conductive Is It?

  • Volume resistivity of molded resin (not 3D Printed): 15 ohm-cm
  • Volume resistivity of 3D printed parts along layers (x/y): 30 ohm-cm
  • Volume resistivity of 3D printed parts against layers (z): 115 ohm-cm
  • Resistance of a 10cm length of 1.75mm filament: 2-3kohm
  • Resistance of a 10cm length of 2.85mm filament: 800-1200ohm
