It would have been fun to draw circuits that worked, good learning tool.

Imagine being able to draw a capacitor! I think it represents unlimited potential. It needs time and financial resources to bring it to the point of use in a commercial application. It will also need to overcome industry practice that calls for PCB use and for which there is already significant and probably unamortized investment.

Meanwhile, my doorbell is broken. This looks like just the thing to use.

In the video, conventional leaded and SMD components are mounted on platforms which are held by magnets to a steel sheet positioned beneath a piece of paper that has conductive paths drawn on it. "Resistor" and "insulator" pens were mentioned, but these are future projects. See https://123d.circuits.io/shop/circuitsc ... ts-bundles

There are several other conductive ink pen products available, but this one is said to be non-toxic and fast drying. Seems to me a breadboard is both more flexible and reusable (pens are $20 ea in packages of 5, with no mention of how many square inches of conductor can be drawn), but this product, along with the component kits will be appealing to young people and educators. In any case, it's good to see electronic project kits appearing again.
