Abstract

We report the observation of a superconducting transition in a 3D printed, metallised-plastic device. A cylindrical cavity is 3D printed from a photosensitive polymer resin and then a 20 μm layer of tin deposited. A resonant TE microwave mode at 13.41 GHz is observed to reduce its losses by an order of magnitude once it is cooled below 3.72 K; the superconducting transition temperature of tin, with the mode's Q factor increasing from 2.7 × 104 to 4.0
