🚀 Help Shape the Future of Cura and Digital Factory – Join Our Power User Research Program!
We’re looking for active users of Cura and Digital Factory — across professional and educational use cases — to help us improve the next generation of our tools.
Our Power User Research Program kicks off with a quick 15-minute interview to learn about your setup and workflows. If selected, you’ll be invited into a small group of users who get early access to features and help us shape the future of 3D printing software.
🧪 What to Expect:
A short 15-minute kickoff interview to help us get to know you If selected, bi-monthly research sessions (15–30 minutes) where we’ll test features, review workflows, or gather feedback Occasional invites to try out early prototypes or vote on upcoming improvements
🎁 What You’ll Get:
Selected participants receive a free 1-year Studio or Classroom license Early access to new features and tools A direct voice in what we build next
👉 Interested? Please fill out this quick form
Your feedback helps us make Cura Cloud more powerful, more intuitive, and more aligned with how you actually print and manage your workflow.
Thanks for being part of the community,
— The Ultimaker Software Team-

From HERE...
"PLA falls in the category of non-conduct filaments because it has a resistivity in the order of 1016 Ωm, similar to most other plastic types, making it a great electrical insulation material as long as it is in a solid state (cold). Once heated, PLA will soften and become more conductive and no longer safe to use as an insulation material."
I would think much depends on the thickness of the part, the distance between the conductors you are insulating each other from, and the amount of current that is flowing. The above snippet would seem to imply that if the conductors heat up (due to high current flow or simple ambient temperature) then the PLA can deform and allow the conductors to get closer to each other.
Any current passing through a plastic insulator can (in time) cause a carbon trace to develop. When that happens the resitivity drops dramatically as the carbon is conductive.
