Printable RC Filter

thingiverse

To fulfill my aspiration for a CupCake-like 3D printer featuring conductive build material, here's a printable RC filter. The spirals represent a resistor and a capacitor; the continuous spiral denotes a resistor while the one with a central gap signifies a capacitor. To use this circuit, simply attach power or a signal across the thicker terminals perpendicular to the spiral line. This design could potentially be printed on a PCB using traces. Crafted in Inkscape and Blender, this unique circuit was made in 2D and extruded for added dimensions, with a supportive block below, ideally crafted from dielectric/plastic material while the top features conductive design.
