Does anyone have any advice on how to make homemade conductive paint to fix a cracked carbon trace in a game controller? (lemmy.world)

It's the trace going towards the mode button, so I'm pretty sure resistance won't exactly be critical over a ~3mm gap, as long as it recognizes when the plunger button is pressed down.

Look for the channel of Robert Murray-Smith. He has tons of videos on diy conductive ink.

Man, I got lost in a different world last night, watching his videos about 3D printing and gearboxes and stuff, good stuff ๐Ÿ‘

But do you have any particular link where he covers conductive ink/paint? Most everything I'm seeing is all mechanical contraptions.

His earlier videos are all about conductive ink

Ah, gotcha. I'll keep that in mind and double check his channel later this evening.
