This is for a prototype microFluidic digital mixer.

No clue if this is going to work yet. ABS is hydrophillic, this might change the implementation or require a catalyst to convert to hydrophobic. The included .scad let's you specify different PCB and dielectric thicknesses.
Ideas for bottom electrode:
PCB
Unicorn-drawn on holder with conductive pen
Ideas for dielectric:
Acrylic sheet
PCB
printed dielectric (thickness will be an issue here)
Ideas for top electrode:
Al foil
Sn foil
un-etched PCB
Unicorn-drawn on spacer with conductive pen
