Generate a 3D printed jig for AISLER Rapid Registration with OpenSCAD
- Install OpenSCAD.
- Download or clone the repository.
- Open the rapid-registration-jig.scad file in OpenSCAD.
- Enter the dimension and thickness of the PCB in the property panel on the right side.
- Click the render button or press
F6to render the jig. - Click the render button or press
F7to export a STL file. - Use the slicer of your choice.
- Tip: Choose a lower layer height for more accurate results which help with applying the paste.
Aligning PCB and stencil manually is often time-consuming and can lead to bad printing results. To make process easier, faster and more reliable for you, we offer the Rapid Registration System which is compatible with the eC-stencil-mate and the eC-stencil-fix which are sold around 1500€ and 30€ respectively. Thus we looked to lower the entry barrier, and while the 3D-printed jig wont be as accurate as the commercial products they ought to be enough for Makers.
A frame with two 3 mm (0.12 in) mounting holes will be added automatically to your PCB. The Stencil will be our standard stencil, with two additional 5 mm (0.20 in) mounting holes.
The horizontal spacing of the holes depends on the width of the (framed) PCB and is the same for PCB and stencil. The holes also have an identical horizontal distance to the center of the board (symmetrical). However, the horizontal distance to the edge is variable. The vertical distance to the edge of the framed PCB is 2.5mm.
| Width (x) of framed pcb [mm] | Horizontal hole distance (center – center) [mm] |
|---|---|
| x <= 70 | 30 |
| 70 < x <= 90 | 50 |
| 90 < x <= 110 | 70 |
| 110 < x <= 130 | 90 |
| 130 < x <= 150 | 110 |
| 150 < x <= 170 | 130 |
| 170 < x <= 190 | 150 |
| 190 < x <= 210 | 170 |
| 210 < x | 190 |
