If you don't use it we recommend to set a high temperature on your solder iron a solder all the components fast by heating a short time in each pad.(Be carefull to don't melt the support material or you components as you will waste your board) Kapton Tape is not obligatory but highly recommended,as it will protect your Pvc sheet from overheating while your solder the electronic components. MATERIAL SET UPįlexible Support,we used a thin PVC sheet As a rule of thumb, anything that you can cut with a lot of time and effort with an x-acto can be cut by the Roland, but if there are things that are too small for that they will probably also be too small for the vinyl cutter. The circuits that you can cut on the Roland are limited by the width of the pen knife. We can even make them with a modest vinyl cutter as Silhoutte Cameo (aprox 200$)the one we have in Fab Lab Seoul. Making flexible PCB is more easy than most of people may think, it is usefull in some kind of application as wereables, or flexible and small mechanism where the pcb has to be embedded.
