I 3D Printed Circuit Boards – To Water My Plants!

We set out to build a self-watering planter… but ended up discovering a whole new way to make electronics. In this video, we take you behind the scenes of an unexpected design journey - where 3D printing, conductive tape, and a few failed experiments led to a surprising breakthrough. From testing soil moisture to rethinking how we prototype circuits, this isn’t just a build - it’s a creative detour that changed our approach to making. -- Want to learn how to create your own MakerTrack products?
