Of course that’s insanely expensive compared to our economy packs of standard PLA, but consider how much conductive filament one would need in comparison to normal filament for a project.
I’m aware that everything is in the realm of hypotheticals and prototypes, but even if the final product is significantly more expensive than standard filament, it’s not like you’ll need to be able to print entire parts out of it, just the electric traces.
I haven’t looked to see if one already exists.
But, like someone else said, this would be relatively easy to model.
I would go about it in a different way; here’s a quick drawing:
Make the loop for the plug side slightly smaller than the diameter of the cable so it’s a super snug fit, and the other side with a large enough gap that you can easily push the cable through it.
It’s been a little while since I’ve printed anything that needed specific settings like this, but I’m pretty sure that Cura’s combing/ avoid printed areas settings will do this for you. Though I don’t have any experience with one wall thickness parts and this setting.
Who the hell wants to do that?
Oh, I agree completely. I don’t think the tech as-is should be being priced at all. What I’m saying is, even if this product does come to fruition, it likely will still be incredibly expensive compared to normal filament, but the amount one would need to use in a project is very small comparatively.
