Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Plastic Resist From 3D Printer?

I think ;this could work if the resolution is good enough. I have tried a variety of things for etch resist, from electrical tape to spray paint and indelible marker ink. Most of these are kind of difficult to apply where you want them, and only the spray paint really worked well at preventing etching. One idea someone came up with was using a CNC vinyl cutter to produce a pattern that could be stuck on. Certainly worth a try!

I don't know if it has been discussed before,
but has anyone ever used a 3D printer to deposit a layer of
plastic on a circuit board to use as the pattern for
etching? It seems to me that this may be an easy way to do
this as no extra steps would be needed, just print and etch.
If so, how did it work?
And how did they remove the plastic after the etch?
