Silhouette Curio Base Plate (small) for PCB etching

thingiverse

Got the idea to use the Silhouette Curio to etch / scratch / cut wire traces to ABS-printed, copper plated "PCBs" for my hobby projects and found the sticky bases not suitable to fix any printed PCB in proper way (already ruined on first try...) ... Design fits the <b>small base plate</b> packed with the Curio (not received the big one yet...) using the 2 fixation points at the top and the 4 clips at the sides. Cut-out should lineup with the left tool head (red marking) when the machine is powered. Total height of 5mm with a 1.5mm pocket to place standard one / double sides PCBs - you'll need the 1mm extension to get the final height for tooling. M4 screw holes added for fixation, but not working yet => the jig shown on the pictures crashes the tool head and caused blocks, shifts and other unpleasant things... <b>Update:</b> Done some testing and the fixation clips blocked the slider... removed some material to store them securely in the base plate during movement. Clearance should be okay now, but in case it does not, STEP files are attached for modification. PCB fixation: tested and looks quite okay, not blocking the tool head anymore... <b>New files:</b> - Curio Base 1pcs => STL + STEP - Curio Base 2pcs => STL + STEP - Curio PCB Fixture => STL <b>Obsolete files:</b> - Base Plate v2.stl => still available, just in case...
