Is PCB as the structure a new thing or has that always been a thing?

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There are a few PCB drones out there.

Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It's would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

I've seen some of his videos and thought it was a relatively new service offered by these custom pcb companies.
