Solder paste stencil holder + PCB holder

This is a great and perfect PCB stencil holder. I had enough of messing with tape and shifting masks, so designed this PCB solder paste stencil holder. It holds the mask perfectly in place for the perfect solder paste print.
After the print the mask is lifted up without shifting to vertical to allow to remove the PCB .

I only used the holder with frameless PCB stencils. But it should also works for framed stencils. Just use longer M4 screws to hold it.

It is important that the stencil is on the same height as the PCB top .
The height of the stencil is fixed by the rod holders. With the STL this is 16.2+1.6 mm height. The 16.2mm is the height of the MDF support, and 1.6mm the PCB thickness. Other heights can be supported by putting thin shims below the rod holders.

On the rear I placed a small piece of wood to holds the stencil in a more upright position. Optional. Without it, it also works. In the front there is a single screw. This one is to hold the holder horizontal i
