Print out your own circuit boards, from your printer at home

[NeophobiA 1,503]

Anyone who’s ever tinkered about with making electronic circuits can you tell that it can be a fiddly, irritatingly delicate process

If you can’t afford the expensive kit needed to print up proper circuit boards, you can quickly end up with a tangled mess of wires and components plugged into a ‘breadboard’.



A company called AgIC has come up with a solution: Special ink that can be used to literally draw the circuit you need

It’s a lot less fiddly than other ‘DIY’ methods available, such as etching circuits by mixing hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.


And, even better, it’s compatible with inkjet printers, so you can design intricate circuits and then have them printed out precisely, at a fraction of the cost of traditional circuit board ‘printing’


The ‘pen’ version costs just $19, but the kit to adapt a printer is a little more pricey at $299

But there’s less than 2 days to get in on the Kickstarter.

Maybe now kids will get to make something more exciting in their school electronics lessons than a rubbish fuse-tester that goes “beep”
