Everything is a fuse if you run enough current through it. Or at least [JohnsonFarms.us] seems to think so, which has led him to design 3D-printed fuses made from conductive PLA filament. Conductive filament is a meltable resistor, which, if one squints hard enough, is basically a fuse. In theory a 3D printed fuse works […]
One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at MIT demonstrate working concepts for a resettable fuse and logic gates, completely 3D printed and semiconductor-free. Now just to be absolutely clear — these are still just proofs of […]
