It might be us, we're launching the website for it soon, but we've been doing it via e-mail for over a year. We have specific thicknesses of material we use currently, but we plan to expand that once we roll the website out. If you have a design, just shoot it over to us with the requirements...

Keep in mind OSH Park and OSH Stencils are not the same company. We do business together, but are different. Given that our product is usually < $10, we have to charge for shipping as the margins are extremely low in order to keep the costs of the product low. That said, we make $0 on...

Depending on your board size you can always convert a standard toaster oven to act as a reflow oven. That's how I started doing reflow. I use an Arduino and a reflow controller to control the temp curve and it works great. Total investment with Oven + Controller was less than $150 and the...

I'm pleased to announce that dynamic text entry engraving is now live and available. You can enter up to 3 lines of text to go along your stencil border. This way you can identify your stencils by board revisions, date, or anything you want to put there. You can still include your own...

We've made a lot of changes to the site over the last 2 weeks. We've updated our rendering engine a great deal to produce a life-like example of exactly what your stencil will look like. We're also including free plastic solder paste spreaders with every order. (Beats using a credit card!)...

Sounds good :) We'll be happy to assist.

Depending on how big the panel is. Laen and I work closely together, so if you asked him to send me the panel file, I could easily make you a master sheet. Again as long as it's not bigger than 12x24. I'll be able to do larger sizes in the future. Both of us could easily automate it, we...

Thanks Wolfman. Can you give me a little more information about your panelizing comment? If you mean having a giant stencil that can go on a panelized board, we can do it as long as it doesn't exceed 12"x24" in size. We would just need the Gerber of the panel paste layer. You can also order...

Community, Someone sent me an email about this thread, and I wanted to drop by and thank you for sharing your experience Arg, and introduce myself. To clarify a couple of things. We do indeed use Polyimide for our stencils, at 3mil thickness (.003"), which is pretty standard for prototyping...
