Teaching Tech | CapWars: A free, creative 3D print and play video game you should try @TeachingTech | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 days ago
An amazing piece of creativity from the community! Andreas (aka Sakati84) has created the 3D print and play game CapWars: print the parts, make them conductive, then load up the free game on your tablet and watch them interact. The instructions are great but I can’t get the right graphite spray in my part of the world. In this video I take you through testing various solutions to making PLA conductive, and how this innovative concept could be taken further.
Thanks to Andreas for reaching out and inviting me to test his idea. Also thanks to the kind ChemTools rep I met in the hardware store that listened to my requirements and recommended an effective solution. Thanks to my patrons for suggesting some additional techniques and products to try.
