I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind castpixel.itch.io/pcb-forge
I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface.

Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces.

Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done!

But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.screenshot of QZW Labs' raised pcb idea! here is their youtube video

@prusa3d.com regarding the OCL. I'm pretty excited for this. I was wondering about why it was written the way it was. In your blog, you mentioned patent trolls, but the license doesn't have specific language around patents. It probably doesn't matter because of the restrictions on reproduction.

@madewithlayers.bsky.social I'm really curious about your take on Prusa's new OCL license. If it delivers all its promises from the blog, then I see it becoming a popular license.

I'm genuinely happy to see this. 🙂. I don't own a Core 1, I have a couple voron printers, but if i were in the market, the core 1 would be tempting. If for no other reason than, as far as i know, sheet metal doesn't catch fire.
