While we’ve seen plenty of make your own PCB guides before, this one goes a bit further as it covers using the vinyl cutter to make solder masks, so you can use it for surface mount designs.

(Bishop has begun designing and developing vinyl wraps for masks, which can add some flare at a much more reasonable price point for non-professionals.) Marsolais also prefers to establish a flat ...

You can cut the panels into shapes without a problem. The technique used here is to create a black vinyl mask to go over the top of the panel. This makes cutting the panel a lot easier.

The study demonstrated the use of low-cost vinyl masking techniques to create surfaces with high-resolution wettability contrast, enabling improved phase-change heat transfer performance.
