Lord
For some time now, I was looking for a consistent way of creating transparent templates. The ones you can buy off the shelf usually are made for specific game sets, and are limited in their diameters.


I was looking for a way to get templates in 0.5" increments from 1" to 6".


Finally, I contacted Customeeple on their transparent templates, concerning customization options. The contact was very nice, they were absolutely forthcoming, and I was able to send them my custom designed templates.

I wanted them fairly neutral and blank. The only thing that makes them "fantasy" now is the font type I choose. Otherwise they are blank, with a slim line around the edge.


They arrived today:




Great and quick service, great quality, exactly as designed and expected :-)


To store them, I grabbed one of our Ikea cork trivets (don't tell my wife), drilled a hole in the middle (4mm for a 5mm rod, fit perfectly), and glued a wooden dowel in place.




And ready is my storage solution for the templates. There is room for some larger diamters... That was bad plannin on my part.




All in all, if you ever need some custom templates, I can only recommend to contact Customeeples :-).
 
I'm dumb so I had to check.. 'trivets' while technically referring to 3 footed pot stands, refers now to ones which often have 4 feet or in cases of wood ones like cork, no feet. They are the pot stands you put hot pots on when talking them off the stove.

Not bad ^_^ I haven't tested acrylic yet but I would probably cut them myself (but for the thickness and stuff, like I said, haven't tested acrylic (though I did a quick engraving test that was okay) and my machine is a cheap portable one really. Not Co2 or anything fancy.. purely diode. Still, they looks like they would do a good job. Price fair?

Oh, sorry. I am not a native English speaker and to look up the word for "Untersetzer", obviously choose the wrong one.
How do you call these things in modern English?
 
I think that's the right word, just didn't come to mind for me for a pot stand... I've just known them as Pot stands ^_^ probably more known as that around more metropolitan areas like London, or some richer areas like Suffolk. And don't worry. I know plenty of non-english native speakers, and plenty of native speakers who are pretty bad.. (and the amount of people who try to correct me when I write Gaol or refer to something someone is saying as Brabble...)..

Oh, just looking it up the German.. Coaster! I think Coaster is the much better way to refer to them in English.. that makes way more sense to me ^_^
