Voltera V-One The Voltera V-One brings quick turn PCBs to your desktop. Import your gerber file into the Voltera software, press print, and the V-One will bring your board to life. Use the solder paste dispensing and reflow features to mount components onto your printed board, or mount components on a prefabricated board with ease.
The V-One includes all the accessories and consumables you need to get started:
● 1 – Conductive ink cartridge ● 1 – Solder paste cartridge ● 2 – Dispensing units and caps ● 1 – Probe and cap ● 4 – Nozzles ● 2 – Clamps ● 4 – Thumbscrews ● 1 – Pre-solder burnishing pad ● 10 – 2” x 3” FR4 substrates ● 6 – 3” x 4” FR4 substrates ● 1 – 5g spool of solder wire ● 1 – 3g tube of flux ● 1 – Hello World starter kit

Conductive Inks
Conductive Ink Cartridge The key to printing a circuit board with the V-One is in the ink. The printer lays down silver nanoparticle ink as the traces and pads that comprise your board. After thermal curing, the ink is conductive and ready for reflow.
Each cartridge prints approximately 85 simple boards.
Cartridges must be kept refrigerated, and have a shelf life of 6 months.
1 x 2mL cartridge
Flexible Conductive Ink Cartridge
This flexible conductive ink is compatible with Kapton (polyimide), polycarbonate, PET and has a curing temperature of 140 deg C for 10 minutes or 120 deg C for 30 minutes. It can be soldered ONLY WITH our solder paste and solder wire.
Please contact [email protected] for suggestions on how to dispense and use this material.
Cartridges must be kept refrigerated.
1 x 2mL cartridge

Solder
Flux If you're hand soldering components with the provided solder wire, make sure to use flux to promote solder wetting. Out of solder wire? The wire in our store has been tested for best performance with the conductive ink and standard copper.
Solder Wire Done printing? Let’s add some components! Just be sure to use the Voltera recommended solder wire and plenty of flux to ensure a strong solder joint. We’ve chemically tested it to be most compatible with our nanoparticle ink.

Solder Paste Cartridge Fed up with ordering multiple stencils in between board iterations?
Just snap on the RoHS Sn42/Bi57.6/Ag0.4 solder paste cartridge and the V-One will dispense solder paste onto the pads of your board. Solder paste can be dispensed onto your V-One printed boards, or prefabricated circuit boards.
Each cartridge prints approximately 11,000 0603 pads.
Cartridges must be kept refrigerated, and have a shelf life of 6 months.
1 x 2mL cartridge
Solder Paste Cartridge - Sn63Pb37 Alloy *Not compatible with Voltera ink*
While the standard Voltera solder does work on factory-fabbed PCBs, this alloy has superior performance on boards with lead-based HASL finish. This allows you to easily paste, assemble, and reflow your pre-fabbed boards.
Particle size: T4, Reflow: 240C until fully melted. Each cartridge prints approximately 11,000 0603 pads. Cartridges must be kept refrigerated, and have a shelf life of 6 months.
1 x 2mL cartridge

Accessories
Hello World Component Kit The Hello World circuit is the first circuit you print with your V-One. Have more than one person using your V-One? Then you might want more Hello World kits!
The Hello World kit contains:
● 6 x Green LEDs ● 3 x 47k Resistors ● 3 x 180R Resistors ● 3 x 100k Resistors ● 3 x 4.7UF Capacitor ● 1 x 555 timer ● 1 x 9V battery
Thumbscrews Pack of 4 thumbscrews attach board clamps to the V-One printing platform and ensure your board is securely mounted. Be sure to get them here should you need replacements.

Burnishing Pads Pack of 3.
After your circuit is printed and cured, the silver traces need a quick burnishing step to remove organic matter. The burnishing pad contains micropores that can remove even the smallest contaminants. Just give the board a scrub and watch the traces turn silver.
Empty Cartridge Pack Get creative and dispense your own fluids with this pack of cartridges. The pack includes:
● 4 – 5cc Syringe Barrels ● 4 – Pistons ● 4 – Tip Caps ● 4 – End Caps ● 2 – Female to Female Luer

Nozzles Keep printing with a pack of 4 nozzles (225 micron inner diameter). These dispensing tips come standard with the V-One and are required for accurate deposition of ink and solder paste.
Nozzles - 150 micron If you want to push the resolution limits of the V-One, these dispensing tips will help enable your experimental projects. This pack contains 4 extra fine nozzles with an internal diameter of 0.150 mm (6 mil).
7
Nozzles - 100 micron Looking to dispense materials with a lower viscosity? These are the nozzles for you. Don't use this with our standard ink or solder paste... that will result in poor performance.
This pack contains 4 extra fine nozzles with an internal diameter of 0.100 mm (4 mil)
