I think it was actually right around $200, but I'm not saying people should get a 3D printer instead of a 2D printer, I'm saying that making PCBs with what you have is better than making them with something you have to buy. If you already have a laser printer, that will probably be much better for you (unless you have a 3D printer too :p).
This post is basically saying "if you don't have a laser printer but have a 3D one, you can still make PCBs!" :)
- jacquesm 7y agoFair enough. Someone should figure out how to print photoresist directly with an inkjet printer. That would be a neat trick.
- StavrosK 7y agoOr even better, conductive ink! We probably aren't very close to that, but maybe a better etchant isn't too far off, and I'd settle for that.
- kragen 7y agoYou can buy conductive ink pens from Adafruit and many hobby stores.
- kragen 7y agoThere are pages about how to use inkjet ink as a PCB resist. Apparently it's a bit trickier than the laser process.
