In the tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/smt-manufact ... t-stencils
the solder pads are shrunk by 2 mil (2 thousandths of an inch = 0.05mm).
Does that imply that the Adafruit lasercutter has an effective beam width of 4 mil when cutting this material (Kapton film)?
Which lasercutter do you use? With what tech specs?
Anything you can say about how to achieve a nice narrow beam width?
I'm really motivated to get this to work because IMHO applying solder paste by hand is the WORST task in a SMT PCB job!
