Etching a PCB from a toner transfer made with the KC heat press combo reflow hot plate.

Re-use cans for stencils. But how do I flatten the can nicely? With the KneeCol Kit for Ramps 1.4. That's right kids it doesn't just move 3D printers! It also creates up-cycling for your heap of aluminum drink cans!

Photo Addendum: Using MDF as a thermal barrier to slow down temperature loss through similarly conducting surfaces doesn't give you a good result!
