It’s possible to create a solder paste mask using the laser cutter and A4 Mylar stencil sheets

Export the Solder Paste Layer

Within Kicad

• Export the layers F.Paste and B.Paste as Gerbers
• Auxiliary axis as origin: Ticked
• Exclude PCB edge layer from other layers: unticked
• Plot these layers out as gerber files

Import to FlatCAM

Next import to flatcam, then re-export as an SVG

Import to Visicut

Finaly drag and drop the svg into Visicut and use Map by colour

TODO see if Engrave Solid is the best option even though we’re cutting through for accuracy also what power to use?
