The Next evolution in Lighting?

Just saw this vid from Green Stuff World
Looks like running wires just got a lot easier.

conductive paint pen

conductive glue

every time I think of conductive ink pens, I keep thinking about this anime:

Hope this works better than the last Conductive Paint I tested. That version had high resistance and did not cover well (tended to 'bead up' on most surfaces)- simple adhesive copper foil worked far better

Conductive paint has been around for decades.

It still sucks.

Bwahahaha!

I'm a little apprehensive about conductive paint as they have some disadvantages as gleaned from the Internet. It could be better, I suppose if they metallic contents are high and does kinda 'stick' together after being applied and when the carrier evaporates.

1. High resistance, or
2. They don't last long.

I have yet to see a pen (maybe 3D?) which dispenses 0.1mm lines of almost pure metal which then solidifies like a wire, allowing it to be soldered and also sticks to surfaces permanently. NOW, that is revolutionary.

Circuit Works pens deliver "wire" that can be soldered at low temperatures. But, true, they can't deliver the 3D wire in the way a 3D pen can extrude plastic. Permanence depends on the surface material, but it's pretty good on normal circuit board stuff. Never tried it on styrene. These pens have been around for years.

Model railroad guys have used it for a long time.....but only works well in low voltage/amp detection circuits and the like. Not power supplying.

Thanks, for the heads=up, seam-filler,

Maybe one day, if that product reaches to my part of the World 'naturally' (as in being sold in our LHS), I might want to stress-try it. Malaysia is hot and humid and so, it might pose some interesting results
