It seems that Proto-pasta is launching another interesting experimental filament – an electrically conductive PLA 3D printer filament. The project was made available on Kickstarter with a goal of just $2500 USD that we expect will soon be reached with the filament expected to be available in March this year. The Proto-pasta Conductive PLA filament should be similar in properties to normal PLA filament, though it is supposed to offer high electrical conductivity – better than other alternative conductive filaments according to the makers of the filament. The conductive 3D printer filament is ideally suited for DIY projects, however the problem with conductive filament that remains is that you are not able to solder components and cables to it – so not way to 3D print a PCB using it. The use of a good and highly conductive (15 ohm-cm) 3D printer filament that is PLA-based like the one coming form Proto-pasta will open the doors for some really creative projects that need electrical conductivity.

A few days ago we have told you about the plans that Future Make, the company developing the Polyes Q1 3D printing pen, has to launch a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for their device before Christmas and this has already happened. The Polyes Q1 SLA 3D printing pen is now on Kickstarter with a $50000 USD funding goal for the project with already 250 backers and more than half of that goal covered. The super early bird special option that allowed a limited number of 50 people to get the Polyes Q1 for $59 USD is now over, but there are still some places left for $69 USD and $79 USD. Do note that normal price of the Polyes Q1 will be $119 USD and it is supposed to start shipping in April 2015 with early Kickstarter backers not only able to get it cheaper, but also a month earlier. So if you are interested in the Polyes Q1 3D printing pen that uses Stereolitography printing technology (UV light curable resin) instead of thermoplastic material that is being melted, you might want to reserve an early spot in the queue by backing up the project on Kicksrater. Do note that Polyes Q1 is not the only product coming in early 2015 in the form of a SLA 3D printing pen, there is already a competition from the Creo Pop 3D printing pen that will be a very similar product.
