edtherenderman | 10-Feb-20 08:34 | Started work this weekend on the Aero-Werkes Hannover CL IIIa. Iām scratch building it from plans I found on Outerzone (https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=1156). This is my first attempt at using a $250 2D Laser Etcher/Cutter that I got off of Amazon to cut the balsa parts. Here is my rig. Cutter on the left, laptop on the right, ā71 Jaguar in the background |
edbecky | 10-Feb-20 11:38 | I really like Outerzone. Working on a Zero from plans off OZ now. The laser looks interesting. Does it cut so the parts can be easily removed? Also would like to see more pics of the Jaguar. I sold my MB 300CD but that's another story. |
edtherenderman | 10-Feb-20 12:17 | Outerzone rocks! I have about 30 plans I want to scratch-build now. The laser does cut through if you have enough passes. Mine takes six passes for fairly dense 1/16ā sheets. About 30% of the parts cut through. The rest are held by just a few fibers. Easy to remove with a sharp blade. A lot depends on the consistency of the sheet. I'd say that the cuts are better than the die-cut parts you find in Guillows kits. Much cleaner, and no crushed edges or broken tabs!
Thanks for the interest in the Jaguar. Check out https:\\leapingv8s.blogspot.com. Contains 200 posts of my 10 year project of restomoding the car.
