Currently working on the video and release files for it. Will be here today or within the weekend.
-----------------------

The newest version of my vacuum assisted magic solder stencil box. Makes soldering components to your pcb / circuit board super easy by getting am awesome solder stencilling job all the time. All you need is a 3d printer, a bunch of print time, and a vacuum cleaner.

The vacuum cleaner sucks down the stencil to the pcb / circuit board super tight so you can apply solder paste like a total newbie, and still get good paste jobs.

When you turn off the vacuum, the stencil automatically gets lifted up in a perfect 90 degree way from the pcb / circuit board.

This box version is a fixed size, my previous one was fully parametric. Now only the vacuum nozzle is parametric. The upgraded stencil vacuum chambers was too much for me to do parametric at this time.

If you think others would find this interesting, please share it with them. And for some god sake, subscribe!
