Red Dog Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) View File 1/32 A-10C engine latches Here is a studio file to replace A-10 engine latches. It's not meant to cut as masks but to cut material. Scaled for 1/32 - meant to be used with 0.3mm styrene sheet Red for engraving, blue for cutting.

GeneK Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Thanks, Red Dog. Good luck trying to cut .3mm styrene with your Cameo. Not to be negative, BUT I don't think you'll get good results, especially (even) using the high pressure craft blade in position 2 - the details are too fine for the blade to navigate (in my limited experience before I gave up). However, the scores on the outlines will facilitate snapping the plastic. If you find a way to cut such thick plastic, I'd sure appreciate knowing how! Note that Kevin opened a special section for Non-Mask Applications for great posts like yours. Thanks again. Gene K EDIT' See my next post. I "misread" .3mm as .3in. Cameo does well cutting .3mm!

Red Dog Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Warm air can be 5° if the air it replaces is -12°C 🙂 You are right that the details might be better but that's mostly due to my lack of experience working with the cameo. If the engraved rivets would clear a bit more the cut lines the parts would be way better Still the stuff it replaces is really bad so I can live with 5° good 🙂 I often cut 0.3mm styrene sheet with the cameo. It's probably extra wear on the blade but I actually never go through on purpose. I finish the cut by sanding from the rear face which provides the benefit to thin even more the styrene. Apologies if the file is misplaced. Feel free to move it around as I thought there was one unique download section. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneK Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Thanks, Red Dog. Well, I goofed! My old brain read .3 INCHES instead of .3MM. In that .3mm = 0.011811in, you are absolutely correct that the Cameo "can cut it" ... as you've shown Like you, I routinely cut .010in plastic, but .015in is the limit of clean, fine cuts for my Cameos and Portrait (using the autoblade in position 1). I'm looking forward to more posts from you here! Gene K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
