It's not straightforward though. For instance, apparently you cannot use a brass nozzle because solder would melt it.

when plastic are melt, they stay "solid" ...solder goes really liquid... instead of a hotbed bed, we will need a coolbed .. wink

I'm spending a lot of time on arduino projects and creating my own pcbs.

Because of the accurateness of the solidoole, I'm thinking about if it is possible to print solder on a plate.

There is solder which melts between 138 (SnBi58) and 195°C (SnAg3.0Cu0.5In10)

Has anybody also thought about that?

What to observe if I want to try it?

Regards Markus
