Interesting. How much would you enlarge the outline relative to the real board? Zero? 10 mil? Presumably tight is good but interference fit is perhaps going to be too much.

I would probably go for 6 mil. Tighter fit will help stencil alignment. But too tight will make it difficult to take the board out. It always can be corrected with Dremmel if needed.

Tab routing is not 100% accurate. you'll need to allow for the variation in accuracy of both 'PCB's

Add two small holes in the PCB. Add them to the stencil. Order dowels 0.05mm smaller. Stack three PCBs, insert dowels, add stencil, print. No machine, no jig, no frame.

@Koen - on the shape @djacobow showed, how would you do that?
