Techniques covered include conventional polyimide substrates with etched copper, stretchable PCBs made by coiling flexible circuits around elastic, conductive paint, electrolysis, and vinyl cutter adhesive traces. The goal is to show that flexible PCBs are achievable for hobbyists without high costs or dangerous chemicals. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
