    Been waiting for that technology for quite some time..

    The next thing to include is a conductive glue similar to superglue or modeling cement, which would work just as well for attaching surface mount components as it would for through-hole components, because it can form blobs. I'd be curious to know how the surface mounts were placed on the prototype board that was shown if there is no such glue, or whether they were cemented and baked....

    We'll start seeing plastic substrate boards that can be printed on by this ink, then custom pcb printers. This is exactly what I've been waiting for! So excited for this to come to market

    Awesome! Can't wait to see this happen since it's surely way easier than etching.

  • @JonathanKayne

    so they took the conductive ink and put it in a printer cartridge... I thought of doing that design a while back, but im happy to see someone acually do something with it! I sooo want some!

    This is simply huge !!!!!! as he said I instantly think of tons upon tons of applications.
    circuit design on paper for kids learning board design for starter.
    Touch customized flexible notebooks with circuit designs of all sorts making cool stuff, throw in a OLED flex screen and the sky is the limit.
    even add this in some way to a 3D printer and you get a 3D printed circuit board with multiple layer design.
    Tron suits with real circuits printed on cloth and led lights.
    electronic light switch buttons drawn on the walls
    this is just crazy !!!!!

    Awesome. About time.... or at least make a drop in conductive ink cartridge to convert any printer. But the other alternative where you laser print your pattern on gloss paper/film and then apply conductive silver ink which bonds to the carbon toner works quite well in the meantime. Be neat if you could take your gerber file to Kinko's.....

    A question I would have liked to hear would have been how the resistance compares to etched PCBs and compared to silver based conductive paint which is available for decades. High resistance is what usually makes these paints impractical for most circuits.

  • @sincerelyyours7538
    @sincerelyyours7538 6 років тому

    Looks promising, but I'm afraid I don't fully understanding the technology. You say it works with an inkjet printer? My guess is that it will require not just any inkjet printer but one with special print heads containing special conductive inks and a straight-line paper path. Can you print onto FR4 boards directly or can it only print onto flexible sheets like thick photo paper or acetate? Would you then paste the printed sheet onto a rigid board? What about the soldering and heat-sinking of ICs and transistors? Can the Arduino circuit shown in the video be populated and shown in action? How durable would the finished product be? In my admittedly low-volume production case, my 20 year old HP Deskjet printer probably won't handle the electro-ink printing chores so that will require my purchasing a new printer - something I have been trying to avoid. I keep my old HP because it prints regular ink onto translucent sheets just fine and I can then expose the images using UV light onto photo-sensitive boards, a simple and well-proven process. The UV/Inkjet method also avoids my having to buy a laser printer and laminator just to do toner transfers. However, this new approach appears to eliminate the Ferric Chloride etching steps, always a bonus for me (the fewer chemicals in my house the better), so perhaps it is worth considering for that quality alone.

      +euan todd fuck that, why can't we use the different colors in the printer to reduce the copper? i was thinking about making a magnesium battery on the paper to reduce copper, you just have to create a battery for the displacement of copper from copper sulfate, so you can invert the color and change it to the color your print uses and print with magnesium in blank areas to reduce the copper. you can let it dry and print the sheet again a few times if needed, the copper will reduce electrochemicaly, oxidizing the magnesium, and the paper will form a copper circuit. You can even print these circuits and overcharge them with magnesium then slowly submerge or spray the circuit with copper sulfate. As an end product we have magnesium sulfate and copper, that's known as chemical reduction

    • @springplus300
      @springplus300 10 років тому +5

      Isn't that kind of debatable? The hobbyist is, in a sense, likely to fork out a little extra for the chance to make a unique result, whereas expensive processes make less sense in mass production.
      Of course, on the other hand, mass production would eventually lead to lower prices, simply as a result of demand. It's kind of a double edge.

      @springplus300 10 років тому +2

      ***** Was about to mention that myself.
      Furthermore, the mere fact that it's designed for regular, completely common inkjet printers should make it pretty obvious that it's aimed at the DIY community.
      It's not a coincidence that Make takes an interest in this stuff. Flexible electronics haven't been a problem in the industry, but if you are a maker or hobbyist, stuff like this has been pretty hard to do. And even conventional etching still leaves you with the problem of having to be sure you got the circuit right the first time around, unless you want to spend a LONG time on trial and error.
      What this allows you to do is, much like 3D printing, to prototype, or make a custom project very quickly - with lots of room for trial and error.
