"The goal of this project in particular is to increase the scope of what can be replicated on a commodity machine. Better solutions some day might be sort of conductive putty or ink, or even a printable conductive plastic or semi-conductor material. But for now, you can print basic electronics using a plastic PCB and conductive thread. So give it a try!"
