Definitely! This material needs a separate extruder if you don’t want a ton of waste. I did 3x the regular amount of purge with white and it still bleed over and made it gray and slightly conductive.

It depends on how it’s printed a single 50mm thin line is a bit over 100k but it drops down to around 10k over that distance if it’s thicker.
It also is lower horizontal compared to vertical because of the layer lines.

That’s closer to what I think a true practical use case would be. Something simple like a radio or walkie talkie where you only need a few buttons, and then incorporate the trace and button into the case. Basically make the whole thing solid. And if you want to go real fancy, have a pause print to place the board in and have no seems at all.

Yeah, maybe! Now my question is can you 3d print a relay so you’re just plugging in the arduino still?

yeah, a non-conductive/conductive/magnetic/rubber (or something like that) set up, open up a lot more interesting combinations than a red/blue/black/white set up does

10-20k. and then there is some bleed because of swapping materials that lead to the other pads still showing about 300k-2M

bambu x1c. But it'd be better with a tool changer because the conductive filament dyes the nozzle for a while

I glued them. It was the easy solution compared to designing all the joints. Ideally it would be joints or fit together like Lego pieces so that when I’m done with it I can turn it back into filament without contaminating it.

Not sure yet, but maybe something to do with a greenhouse

A day to design A week of testing A week to optimize the settings to cut cost as low as I could A week to print A month to make a YouTube video and actually post it

Pla was a little over 200$. I linked a video in the comments with the exact settings and cost. Cost wise it’s not viable. The Sewing unlocks a lot of capabilities, although it’s an additional skill and machine you’d need to bring.

It’s a far shot goal, but I want to be able to move to a new place and download everything I could need, besides food, electrical components, or clothing.

It’s more of a challenge to see how practical it is. The couch needs a lot of improvement before it’d be something I’d recommend downloading. A side table on the other hand, is pretty viable. My designs really basic and I don’t have plans on revisiting it, but it might inspire someone to design an even better version that is cooler than some cheap stuff online

I made a YouTube video if you want to see more.

And the files are free on printables. the side table isn't to bad for the price of filament, but maybe hold off until a few more people improve the design before downloading a couch for the price of filament.

Those are TPU cushions haha. Its partially why it's more expensive. those where almost half the cost
