Thank you for showing the video in real time, not time lapsed. It's easy enough for us to jump the video or watch in fast forward, but being able to see how long it actually takes is very useful.

[@michael41804]

What a Nice Scanner Or Kana A Led Printer For The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive board. Components are connected through the conductive material below a non conductive board, the common conductive material used in packaged PCBs are usually copper, since copper is cheap and common. We Love It. Thank you Very Much.

Uma das coisas que eu mais admiro na tecnologia moderna são essas máquinas e essas placas com todos esses circuitos, desde criança sempre ficava admirado olhando e pensando nas pessoas que haviam criado essas coisas, é realmente de ficar fascinado com a inteligência humana e a esse ponto em que chegou. Vida longa aos engenheiros que estudaram e todos os outros do passado que se dedicaram até que hoje tenhamos tudo isso. Deus abençoe a todos.

[@MuneeshKumar]

Wow, I never knew that these circuit boards are made this way. Excellent invention of its time.

[@Luis__Strobel]

They aren't made this way. Half an hour would be way too much time to produce just one PCB. Usually this "pattern" is applied by using some kind of stencil.

[@larrybud]

They aren't. This is for prototyping inhouse. Circuit boards are made using full sheet of copper laid onto an insulating sheet (such as fiberglass). A photoresist plastic layer is applied on top of the copper, and lasers are used to determine what should and shouldn't be masked. The photoresist is developed, leaving exposed copper on the places you don't actually want the copper. Then the exposed copper is dissolved (called 'etched') using a chemical bath. Holes are drilled, plated, etc. If the board is multiple layers this is done for each layer and compressed together.

[@bachadiv3454]

The engineer and robot perfect picture and sound like music remix is amazing appreciated for this video and keep going up❤️

[@JohnDoe-rx3vn]

A good solution to keep those little sticky trails from dragging off the tip would be to have the printing head do a few tiny circles around the point it picks up from. Glass blowers do exactly that for the same reason, and the same principle works for most any viscous fluid. Watching this was mesmerizing, haha

[@icarossavvides2641]

Why bother? Just use a Steadler marker, they don't have that problem. This looks like some kind of 'paint' pen.

Brilliant machine, very similar to a rotary engraving machine, what I need to know is what is deposited on a board, is it molten substance and is it copper or tin and how does it stick to board, does it stick to board because it is molten.

[@JonnyBergdahl]

It's silver ink.

[@waynethompson8416]

Is that the silver ink that is about 2 ohms per inch of trace? Have you actually built a circuit using this process and if so, have you built an RF circuit using the process? Maybe you could put a link here to a video of a circuit that you built using this process and showing it working with some verbal description of the project.

"Also, I didn't put music in the video so you can enjoy the sound of the stepper motors of the V-One." Oh thanks xD Could you please give us a bit more info about what the green material underneath is, what filament you were using and if there is a place like thingiverse for PCBs? :) Thank you very much in advance!

[@lucasimark7992]

Suricat B. It's not a regular 3D printer. I think the pcb material is something proprietary from that company. It's also not using filament (conductive filament exists, but it's crap, I tried it) it's using a special paste, which flows and cures at room temperature. And lastly, there is no thingiverse for pcb's, i simply design them in Autodesk eagle and then use some freeware or fusion 360 to cam it. Hope I answered your questions.

[@nasratkahlaf636]

thats right its a special past homogenized with hot surface then cures .

[@JonnyBergdahl]

The "green material" is FR4, the same stuff that ordinary PCB's are made of. The "filament" is conductive silver ink, not plastic. www.seeedstudio.com/blog/2017/09/20/fr4-pcb-material/

[@georgealanminor]

Yours is one of the only videos of it working that's produced independently. Thanks for this. Would the end result be improved if the flow of the silver ink were reduced? Is that an option? The Voltera produced videos showcase perfect flow rate with no extra buildup whereas there seems to be some "overextrusion" (as it would be called on an FDM printer) in your video. Cheers.

[@JonnyBergdahl]

The camera magnification makes the result look more bumpy than it really is. But yes, you can control to flow rate, even during printing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXa4qH9-nK-ZZrM

[@szjohnwong]

This machine lets me remembered the age of plotter, it has 8 pens and draws only one line at a time, it took hours to draw a complicated drawing. It then was replaced by a big printer. will it happen in this area?

[@JonnyBergdahl]

Yeah, I remember those old pen plotters. I don't think there will be a PCB printer much bigger than the V-One though. It's main purpose is to print fast prototype boards, so printing big doesn't apply.

[@valveman12]

Jonny Bergdahl It is amazing what is available now for the home hobbyist.

[@koolander89]

Noob question. How is a working pcb? What a router should do is remove the space between traces and leave traces intact. What I see here is trace being routed throud the green film. If etched is this will rest in a negative circuit. I must be missing something

[@JonnyBergdahl]

It is not routing, it is printing with silver ink on a blank PCB.

[@VTOLAircraftMad]

However they’re deciding which order to draw the traces in it could use some optimisation. The head goes all over the place.

This is cool. I came here because I had a dream about circuit printers, and was a little sad someone had already made a home production model. Maybe I'm not out of luck for coming up with my own yet, though, as the ink looks to have really slopped up the fine details.

[@pressplay1703]

This is interesting but when you overlap the print doesn't it all become the same circuit and therefore why not just make one line instead of lattice print.

[@JonnyBergdahl]

The print head can only make one width so to get a wider trace it needs to overlap.

[@KillerPro1001]

Dear Jonny, green surface is photoresist, isn't it?

[@JonnyBergdahl]

No, it's just a PCB substrate without the copper layer. The material is called FR4.

thanks for uploading this video I didn't know how they print this

[@michaeld9682]

conductive silver ink? Does it have much resistance? any drawbacks?

[@JonnyBergdahl]

The drawback is that the ink don't hold up for the temperature of normal solder, you need to use a low temperature solder. As for the resistance I see no problems, on the other hand I only design digital circuits. Voltera has posted this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmGZmHSjjJiZhdU

[@JonnyBergdahl]

[@henrikevertsson8702]

One question. That silverish conductive material, is it proof for audiophile use? Does a power amplifier that has this kind of PCB sound as good as one that is made from a PCB with copper tracks? You must really do a lot of prototyping to break even economically. Not for hobbyists. What if you must use a dsPIC33ep256mu806 that has 0.5 mm between it's legs? On the other hand, several women has 0.5 mm between their legs too. This machine is also very meditative, perhaps that's why you bought it. Now you can just sit in front of the little device, listening to those cute sounds that comes from the tiny servo motors, and feel aligned with cosmos. What do you charge if I will need a quick prototype?

[@JonnyBergdahl]

What kind of audiophile are you talking about? The kind that accepts physics, or the kind that buys specialty cables that work better in i specific direction? The silver ink works fine for the first kind. I wouldn't use it for high power amplifiers though, as the ink has more resistance than copper. Minimum pin pitch is 0.65 mm.

[@henrikevertsson8702]

Yes, but you must really use it a lot to break even. It's a nice machine, but is it worth the money? I was serious, I'm living in Sweden. Can you perhaps make a prototype for me if I would need some quick? Chinese are cheap but it takes a week and the shipping costs more than the PCB's themselves. And about audiophiles. I'm quite balanced, but I'm also superstitous. I don't think I would have wanted to make audio equipment with that kind of PCB, but that is totally irrational. On the other hand, many audiophiles think that silver is a nice material. But how high is the silver concentration? The manufacturer stated "12mohm/sq" - I didn't get that.

[@JonnyBergdahl]

Sorry, I don't print for others. The machine is not cheap, but I backed them on Kickstarter and got mine for much less. Also, the consumables are quite pricey. As for the ink, go to voltera.io and ask them in the chat. They have real good customer support.

[@larrybud]

Why does the injection nozzle backtrack a few mm at the end of each trace?

[@JonnyBergdahl]

To avoid a blob of ink at the end point.

[@andymouse]

[@yasinmuc]

wonderful big shouts to you @Uganda

[@agtech9527]

Really satisfying

[@groenpm]

I made the mistake of buying one. Hand soldering is a pain in the ass, Cured ink breaks off very easily during hole-through assembly or even by picking it up. Resolution is .... just "meh!" Ink only lasts 6 months, , just like the solder paste, clutters the tip very easily and "flows" during curing, creating shorts..... the list goes on. The promise is bigger than the result. We've also tried to create PCB's by burning away copper with a laser engraver, but the best results we get from the Wegstr CNC milling machine. Its slow ( almost as slow as the Voltera ) but no curing is involved, normal soldering can happen and the resolution is fantastic. Here in the Netherlands the Voltera costs ~ EUR 5.000,=, Substrates aren't cheap and the ink and solderpaste are around 50 to 100 EURO each. This makes the process of creating a "maybe it works" prototype quite expensive. For EUR 3.000 we've bought the CNC mill and that is about it. Normal PCB's can be used, no special tools needed, holes are getting drilled, normal solderpaste can be used etc... . An expensive lesson learned..

It looks like the ink is "oozing" almost all the time. So how low can you actually go in detail e.g. spacing traces, pin pitch etc.?

[@JonnyBergdahl]

The oozing is not a big problem, and you can make ot ooze less by decreasing the flow. Voltera states a pin to pin pitch of 32 mil, 08 mm. There is an experimental nozzle capable of a smaller pitch however.
