This is probably a dumb suggestion, but if the process works then would
it not be possible to glue two etched "boards" to a piece of bare
substrate? This would result in a normal-thickness, double-sided board.
Maybe it would even be possible to build up more than two layers.

Although as Stefan says, thickness oughtn't to be a problem if the
printer can be suitably modified.

I'm really, really interested in this process -- it's amazing how after
all the experimentation and frustration, someone quietly pops up and
announces that they've had a positive result!
