Step 6Print The Stop
You could just use the measurements from the anaperture design to make your own stop without printing it... but printing is easier and usually more accurate.
Print out the SVG design on paper or thin cardboard using the DPI listed. Linux systems often ignore the SVG DPI setting, but you can load it into GIMP, set the DPI for the image, and print it from there (see screen shot).
If the paper is too thin, this is also a good time to use a black marker to darken the unprinted back of the stop design. Also, reinforcing shouldn't be necessary, but you can tape over the unprinted side of the stop design at this time to help reinforce it.
