This topic seeks to develop open-source machine controller software and custom 3D printing toolheads that enable the fabrication and repair of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The goal is to adapt an existing 3D printer (commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or custom built) with open-source software to support PCB printing capabilities, while also developing modular toolheads optimized for conductive material printing and circuit repair.
