How to Build a Paper Circuit PCB
|
||
|
||
Paper circuits use thick paper or cardboard as a base instead of traditional fiberglass PCBs. The conductive traces are made with copper tape, aluminum foil, or conductive ink. Inspired by Ciat-Lonbarde’s designs, this method allows for flexible, handmade circuits that are easy to modify and repair.
|
||
|
||
To make a paper PCB, start with a sturdy sheet of cardstock. Print or draw the circuit layout onto the surface. Lay down copper tape along the traced paths, ensuring clean connections at intersections. If using aluminum foil, glue it down with conductive adhesive or attach components with eyelets. Soldering directly onto paper is possible but requires low heat and quick contact to avoid burning. For durability, add a layer of clear tape over the traces to prevent oxidation. Finally, secure components with tape or conductive paint, creating a rugged yet flexible circuit ready for experimentation.
