Has anyone had experience with this desktop PCB printer? Sounds very intriguing. It prints conductive ink on any suitabble surface, dispenses solder paste and reflows it. All for a a meager $4200 including a drill attachment.

We can build it for 420 USD, some of us can build it for 42 USD. Why do you need it?

 

Great, build me one for $42 and I will pay you $84 for a 100% profit.

I want it because I have tried various DYI methods and have not been able to come up with one that is reliable and repeatable. And I am impatient, do not like waiting for boards from China, which is what I do now. And I hate working with nasty chemicals. And I just received an unexpected inhertance.

Edit: and, if I built one for $420, and the quality is the same as the 3D printer that I paid about $420 for and spent 10 hours assembling, I would have nothing useful.

I am putting an order in for the $42 model.

Seriously, this would make a cool project. The hard part would be the dispenser. Also where do you get the PCBs with no copper?

 

I am not an ordering desk for cheap things. You have 2 variables "work" and "money" if you want to decrease 1 of them, you will have to put more into the other.

And I wrote "some of us", there are people here from all over the world. We all know that the prices are completely different in the different countries and different worlds. When they told me in the new country 400 Euro for a dual core laptop, when I get the same for 75 Euro in my country, I was thinking they are insane.

In other words YOU can't do it but for $42 "someone" can. LOL!
