Yeah this should have been done in a proper CAD software but fuck it, i love blender. I call it the "PCB squeezer 8000" and that is all the explanation i can give.

FreeCAD couldn't cut it?

Oh yeah it could but i never really got into it deep enough to even make something relatively simple as this. So far blender just did the job :)

Damn, from what I can tell, that looks pretty good. How did you do that?

The black lines in the middle are part of an imported pcb layout converted to curves with a .dxf importer plugin. Parts of those i used to knife project the shapes onto a plane to create cutouts. Then i extruded the planes and added pin holes afterwards. So far its only been 3D printed for testing but eventually it will be machined out of metal to be used to press out small flexible PCBs from a sheet.
