→Experiment: Loudspeaker-Printing with Silk screen printing method
| Line 124: | Line 124: | ||
With conductive ink I tried to print spiral-shaped forms on textiles and paper with the silk screen printing method. It was the first time that I tried silk screen printing. The prints were acceptable but the most important point was that they should be conductive. With some ironing of the prints the conductivity got better. | With conductive ink I tried to print spiral-shaped forms on textiles and paper with the silk screen printing method.

I also built an amplifiyer circuit with the LM386 and used an old headphone kacj to connect my smartphone to the circuit, so that the sound that was coming from my phone could be listened to on the printed loudspeakers. | I also built an amplifiyer circuit with the LM386 and used an old headphone kacj to connect my smartphone to the circuit, so that the sound that was coming from my phone could be listened to on the printed loudspeakers. | ||
It did work but really silent. Right now there are some points I need to trouble shoot but I think with some better wireing and the pure silver ink I could get better results. | It did work but really silent.
