Hi everyone,
Hope this is the right forum
I need to recreate a 4 inch by 3 inch printed circuit board from a Panasonic audio cassette deck.
Can 3d printing accomplish this?
I just bought a pretty nice 3d printer and am just curious if this task is possible
Thanks so much !
You can make a breadboard and you can stuff electronics onto it and manually wire them. Making conductive traces a bit trickier but I've sure there are DIY hacks to manage that. But the big problem comes in with hot components. High current will require wire or foils.
Would I make a complex board on an FDM printer? No!
With the right filament, why not. I would definitely go for soldering though, much more reliable.Here are conductivity measurements for a few filament brands.
Nice find Ralph. That would work nicely for contact buttons.
that electrifi sounds interesting - all the conductive filament I've tried has been carbon based and useless.

holy bank balance batman !

$196 for 100gms (17metres) !
$1960 a kg - makes peek look positively cheap !
Oh yeah and they still charge p&p on top of that !
At the end of the day it's a mix of mostly copper powder and polyester plastic.
I could understand the price if they were using gold powder.
