And to be clear, I have no doubt that it could heat the copper, I just wonder if it can prevent the hot liquid copper being extruded from instantly melting the copper below it that was previously laid down.
I did some soldering with gold recently and was shocked at how well it conducted heat from one side of the part to the other. I’d get one wire attached to a contact and then when I brought a wire to the second contact, the first would melt and that wire detached.
It turns out, you can’t make copper coils out of TPU…
As I think about it now, given the thermal conductivity of copper, I’d bet it would be damn near impossible to 3d print with it.
Laser sintering would probably work.
Perhaps.

It was frustrating.
