Playing around with capton tape and copper
The picture shows the first test with capton and copper tape. I'd call it a win and a fail. I lost all the sticky stuff after etching and cleaning. Had to glue it on the pipe and then soldered the LEDs on. I tried charlie plexing but there were to many broken traces because of bended copper tape, I had to fix. You really cant use the iron too long on the cape, the traced tend to shift.

First cut off a very clean and not bended stripe of copper tape
carefully peal it off and glue it to the sticky side of the capton tape
Fixate the toner transfer paper to the sheet
Release the from the tape with water
check traces - FAIL
check traces - WIN
etch it
looking good!
way too much glue
I have to find out what tape has more glue and get rid of it and/or find a glue that is acetone resistanthttps://cdn.hackaday.io/images/6902121442314080399.jpg
