Title: [REFERENCE] Klondike DIYers Thread Post by: Bicknellski on June 06, 2013, 06:08:20 PM Seeing as there are quite a few threads I think it be nice to collect the better bits and keep it as a reference for the DIY'ers out there. I will add links to threads and outside sources. Feel free to discuss below anything that you do not want to clutter BKKCoins thread. Keep things KLONDIKE related or adjacent like Alten or Burins builds. Others who are producing Klondikes are welcome to add and report their project progress here as well. I will try and consolidate and summarize things in the reserved / update section.

With the sample chips arriving at destinations, I - for one - am getting stoked. Title: Re: [REFERENCE] Klondike DIYers Thread Post by: southerngentuk on June 14, 2013, 10:04:02 AM DIY Stencil from coke can !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWUJtmgh55M edit: add text version http://lowpowerlab.com/blog/2013/01/23/diy-home-made-metal-stencils-step-through/ NOTE : on further investigation I must note it appears this only works with laser toner printers ( if you don`t have one then print with an Inkjet then photocopy it). Some report printing on glossy magazine paper works best and i have read passing the stencil and print a few times through a laminator instead of an iron. I might have a play with this shortly if someone can point me in the direction of the relevant file on github and suggest the software I would need to open it ?

I'm not sure how this would be faster or more accurate than hand-placing with tweezers.. This "just" kind of removes one of the axis when placing the parts, but looks so much slower? But then I never placed lots of tiny SMT parts on a board.

Much easier.
