It seems like this could work for small components especially if one were using solder paste. Would something like this work better machined in aluminum (instead of acrylic) if the holes were bigger on the bottom instead of on the top to allow for the devices to not get stuck to the acrylic?
- Animats 8y agoA stainless steel solder paste stencil, which now costs about $25[1], would probably work well. Those are thin (3 to 8 mils), so the parts aren't going to get stuck in a deep hole. They're usually used in a hinged frame that puts them under tension and makes them rigid. Use one stencil for solder paste, then change to the placement stencil for part placement. Stencils used to cost about $200, but at $25, this starts to look like a viable option. [1] https://www.oshstencils.com/#%20 https://www.oshstencils.com/#%20
