What if we used a paste extruder to extrude this: (http://courseweb.stthomas.edu/apthomas/SquishyCircuits/) into a printed circuit board?

That looks similar to a play-dough recipe. I imagine the resistance is quite high when compared to copper wire or traces.

Then we could make the PCB entirely on a RepRap. No soldering required. Try it!
