The Brother ScanNCut uses a separate pen holder with specific sized felt tip ink pens to draw your designs. I want to plot electronic traces, but Brother doesn’t manufacture conductive ink pen cartridges so Denis and I began to hack together a solution.   First we took apart an existing pen holder and cleaned both the felt tip and […]

  An electronic trace made from CuPro conductive paint from LessEMF oxidizes over time, but it will still conduct current. Use a multimeter to test the trace for continuity then attach the power source to areas of paint that have not oxidized.     If the power source is attached to the oxidized areas the circuit will not activate.   […]

  I have a collection of conductive paint that is sitting on my workbench waiting for a paper computing project to begin!   Circuit Scribe pen from ElectronInks that I purchased at Maker Faire NYC September 2014.       Also on my workbench is Bare Conductive Paint and CUPro from LessEMF.     Time to get to work!  

  Way back in 2011 I used CUPro conductive paint to test different application methods for circuit boards and LEDs. Thanks to my impeccable filing system I just found the sample papers and the paint.     GOOD NEWS – the paint is still is working as a conductive trace! In fact even after three years the resistance remains the […]
