Manufacturing, Developments, and Constraints in Full 3-D Printing of Frequency-Selective Surface Using Low-Cost Open-Source Printer

A comprehensive study of developing a novel printing system using a low-cost open-source printer for fully 3-D printing frequency-selective surface is presented in this article. The novel printing setup employs a low-cost printer to print a plastic-based filament and a conductive silver ink paste simultaneously. As there were no printers available in the market for this application, the open-sourc...
