Perkil8r Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I found an excelent site the other night that uses info you put in to generate a swv file to produce the perfect mask for your scope. Question is, do I use this to make one or not?? I have 2 ideas, I could either save the file and take it to a local laser cutter and aske them to cut me one in aluminium which I could of course spray paint or get blackodised. The other option I thought of was to use clear prespex and get my mate to cut me one in black vinyl and stick it to the persex. I could of course cut one by hand out of plasticard or something. It's either that or am I as well to buy one off the shelf? I'm not exactly going to save much by DIY building one as they aren't expensive really. Of course I could always get some made as per method 1 above and sell some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Pretty much what I thought, but there is a certain feeling of achievment knowing you made something yourself. Any hints on where's best to buy one? I've seen plenty on fleabay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I made mine out of the plastic lids from Cadbury's celebrations 5kg tubs. Took about 30mins but there was plenty to nibble on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Any excuse to buy a tub of sweets, plus the plastic is softer than plasticard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
