3D Printer Capacitors!

These models are 3D printed capacitors! What are they good for? Good question. It was just an experiment but might be an interesting STEM or introductory physics class project. Let’s take a look the design. They are printed using two filaments and in 3 layers. The two outside layers are Protopasta Electrically Conductive Composite PLA – these are the capacitor plates. The interior layer, is basic PLA to act as the insulator between the plates.The original design was a 30x30 mm plate area and pri
