Solder Paste Dispensing and Reflow All-in-One
The Voltera V-One creates two-layer prototype circuit boards on your desk. Gerber files go in, printed circuit boards come out. The dispenser lays down a silver-based conductive ink to print your circuit right before your eyes. Assembling traditional and additive boards is easy with the V-One’s solder paste dispensing and reflow features. Simply mount your board on the print bed and import your Gerber file into Voltera’s software.
No more stencils required
Voltera’s software is designed to be understood easily. From importing your Gerber files to the moment you press print, the software safely walks you through each step.
Compatible with EAGLE, Altium, KiCad, Mentor Graphics, Cadence, DipTrace, Upverter.

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).
Do not use with solder paste! It will clog!
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)
A set of high precision drill bits, covering the most common drill bit sizes. Just pop them in the V-One Drill with a 2.5 mm hex key (not included) and start drilling. The following sizes are included (2 of each): 0.70 mm 0.80 mm 0.90 mm 1.00 mm 1.60 mm
Need to dispense your own UV sensitive fluids (up to 550nm)?The pack includes:
4x 5cc UV-Blocking Syringe Barrels
4x Standard Fit Pistons (white)
4x High Viscosity Fit Pistons (red)
4x Tip Caps
4x End Caps
2x Female to Female Luer couplers
Use the right tool for the right job. These steel stakes are used to press the rivets on the PCB after holes have been drilled. They have been designed for optimum performance on the ink and ensure an electrical connection between the top and bottom layers of your PCB. Learn how to use them here.
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. Voltera has chemically tested it to be most compatible with their ink.
Alloy: Sn42 Bi57 Ag1
Dia: 1.0 mm
Flux: 2%
Weight: 20g
Recommended Temp: < 205°C (400°F)
RoHS Compliant
If you are going to be drilling, we recommend drilling on FR1 substrates. Unlike FR4, FR1 dust does not contain fiber glass. It is also a softer material, which means a less wear and tear on the drill bits. Download the template and incorporate them into your design here. 10 substrates included.
Do you need a way to connect the top and bottom layers? Rivets are the key!Rivets are little copper tubes that make a mechanical connection between the top and bottom layer. We found rivets to be the easiest way to create vias. Be sure to pick up the corresponding rivet tool if you don't have one!
Pack of 200
Inner Diameter - 1.0mm
Head Diameter - 2.2mm
Drill Size: 1.5mm (or 1.6mm)

To protect the V-One from any damage during drilling, mount this piece of FR1 on the heated bed and clamp your substrate on top. The V-One Drill attachment will perforate your substrate but won't make it through this layer so your heated bed stays intact. Only one is included, but don't worry, the sacrifical layer can be reused plenty of times.
The Punk Console circuit is an advanced tutorial to get you familiar with the V-One Drill attachment. Learn how to create a double sided board and turn the knobs to create music! The kit contains: 2x Green LEDs 8x 1k Resistors 3x 0.01uF Capacitor 2x 500K Trimpots 1x 556 Timer 1x Piezo Buzzer 1x 9 V Battery 1x 9 V Battery Connector Rivets and a V-One Drill are required.
