Conductive 3D Print - Design

[lennartp]

Hello Community, Hello 3D Hubs,

I’m working with 3D Printers for a while and have some knowledge about CAD-Design. Additional I’m working on electronic circuit design for a while.
Now I have a project which will benefit from conductive 3D Print. I know conductive 3D printing is in a early stage of development but I would like to design a 3D Cube including some simple circuits with LEDs, resistors and capacitors but I have no idea how to design this solution. I have not found any capabilities from software for electronic design and “routing” wires in CAD software was very hard with my first tries.
Maybe some of you have experience with conductive 3D Print and designing such models. Any idea regarding this would be a great benefit for me
I hope to hear something from the community

Conductive printing is possible. A dual extruder printer can print conductive material inside a plastic enclosure, such as this flashlight.

However, right now, this is in its infancy. The resistance is so high on the conductive filament that it is difficult to get too clever with your expectations of 3d printing electronic models.
