Last tuesday at sudoroom I used the Phaser 8560
printer to print circuit
patterns onto pyralux material (kapton coated with copper) and then etched
them in ferric chloride.

the result was that I was able to make circuits very quickly and easily,
even though it was the first time i did it this way.
Wow, these turned out beautifully, Jake! Good work. It essentially
worked as expected.
This is still on my TODO list, so this just skipped a couple of levels
and is higher up on the list now :)
Good to know about the need to give the wax another bake.

if other people want to etch circuits at sudoroom, I can help. email me if
you want to coordinate.
The circuit i made was single-sided but you can do multiple layer
circuitboards pretty easily, obviously, by putting these back-to-back.
if you wanted to be even more advanced, you could use the laser cutter to
burn holes in the pyralux (assuming that works) and solder through those
holes from layer to layer.
also did i mention this material is flexible like paper? we can make
wearables, cylindrical circuits, watches...
