Thank very much for sharing this! I'm one of the creators of this project.

It used to be that makers and electronics enthusiasts made square rigid circuit boards to go inside of square boxes. 3D printing rids us of the square boxes, Printoo and printed electronics rids us of the square circuit boards. We've only just started playing with it, and so far we've had tons of fun creating smartphone controlled boats, hovercrafts, and cars. Some examples:



^ this is an attempt at an amphibious version of the Ziphius, an aquatic drone featured on Kickstarter a while ago.



This was a hovercraft. The white stuff's a styrofoam base we used to make sure it floated. With two teeny DC motors it was actually so fast we had to tune it down to 50% in order to be able to properly drive it.
