Hi, folks!
I´m sure that those cricut-machines etc. are the most comfortable way to do some masking.
But in my case, i had already purchased a laser-module for my 3D-Printer because of other applications. So i wanted to figure out, if it is also useful for making some 1/48 masks.
So if someone else here is interested in laser cutting: i can recommend the following settings for a 5W-Diode-Laser in combination with Lightburn and Tamiya masking paper:
150mm/min and 5% Power.
If some of you guys already did some laser cutting, i would be happy to hear about your experience with different materials/parameters.
Currently i am building the Tamiya P-38 (what a gem of a kit!). I think in 48-scale it looks better to use the provided decals for everything besides the larger insignia.
I have tried to make a mask for the "Miss Virginia"-Lettering, but i think it´s just too small to handle and align the letters. Nevertheless interesting to see how accurate this setting performs.
