# 3D Printed Flexible LED Glove with Conductive Filament ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTj3Fxsn7QI ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/809/medium800/components_hero-close.jpg?1438203492) ## 3D Printed Circuits In this guide we’ll show you how to use conductive filament and glow in the dark Ninjaflex to create a flexible LED wearable! This integrated circuit is semi-flexible and uses a coin cell battery to power 5 Adafruit LED Sequins. This project is aimed towards 3D Printer's with a dual extruder. This project was an experiment to see how well Ninjaflex could adhere to conductive PLA filament. The two materials bond well together and their attributes compliment one another. ## Inspire & Remix We think the concepts in this project can be used to create really cool elements for cosplay props and costumes. Integrating conductive filament into your designs will allow you to create embed circuitry. The conductive filament can also be used for capacitive touch sensors! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/026/973/medium800/components_parts.jpg?1438656945) All the materials to build this project are available in the Adafruit shop. ## Tools - 3D Printer with Dual Extruder - [Hakko Flush Diagonal Cutters](http://adafruit.com/products/152) - [Hakku Wire Strippers](http://adafruit.com/products/527) - [Tweezers](https://www.adafruit.com/product/421) ## Parts  - [NinjaFlex Glow in the Dark Filament](http://www.adafruit.com/product/2655) - [Diffused LEDs](https://www.adafruit.com/categories/90) (5mm, 3mm) or [Adafruit LED Sequins](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1758) - [Conductive Filament - ProtoPasta](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2080) - [Bare Conductive Paint](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1306) - [CR2032 Lithium Coin Cell](https://www.adafruit.com/products/654) - [Next Page](https://learn.adafruit.com/3d-printed-flexible-conductive-filament-led-glove/customize.md) ## Featured Products ### Flashforge Creator PRO [Flashforge Creator PRO](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2742) The **Flashforge Creator Pro** is the latest addition to FlashForge’s Creator family, built upon an open source platform.
