     18Hardware and Materials
    1819 1. A cutting plotter (We use Craft-ROBO or Silhouette CAMEO. Both costs less than USD 300.)
    1920 1. Polypropylene synthetic paper ([http://www.switch-science.com/products/detail.php?product_id=822 polypropylene synthetic paper is available here!])

    2627=== directions ===
    27  * Create stencil data
    28  1. Download "cream-dxf.ulp", and put the file into the ulp folder of EagleCAD. This Eagle ULP script exports the Eagle cream layers to DXF for a cutting plotter.

    38  4. Click "Run".
     43==== Cut ====
     44 1. Import DXF into ROBO Master or Silhouette Studio[[BR]]
     45    If you use Silhouette Studio, please set the import options before importing data
     46     * If you use Windows -> File>Option>Import Options and set Document Position "As-is", and File>Open
     47     * If you use Mac OSX -> Silhouette Studio > Preferences... > Import Options and set Document Position "As-is" and File>Open
     48 1. Set the cutting option
     49    {{{
     50Speed: 1
     51Thickness: 33
     52Adjust your blade to the following setting: 5
     53}}}
     54 1. Set polypropylene synthetic paper[[BR]]
     55    Please use a shabby cutting mat. New and clean cutting mat is too sticky for polypropylene synthetic paper.[[BR]]
     56    [[Image(wiki:CraftRoboReflow:RIMG0008.JPG, 300px)]]
     57    [[Image(wiki:CraftRoboReflow:RIMG0009.JPG, 500px)]]
     58 1. Remove the cut frakes using Scotch tape.[[BR]]
     59    [[Image(wiki:CraftRoboReflow:RIMG0031.JPG, 300px)]]
     60 1. Remove the stencil from the cutting mat[[BR]]
     61    When you remove the stencil from the cutting mat, you should bend the cutting mat, not pull the stencil. Polypropylene synthetic paper gets longer when you pull it forcibly.
