A maker successfully created functional circuit boards by firing clay with embedded copper traces, using native clay and a 3D-printed stamping technique rather than traditional petrochemical-heavy manufacturing. This solarpunk approach addresses both sustainability concerns and potential supply chain vulnerabilities in traditional PCB manufacturing, which relies on increasingly scarce petrochemicals. As electronic component shortages persist, alternative production methods using readily available materials could become more viable for hobbyist and small-scale hardware projects.
