    Looking to print a custom translite for my Hollywood heat. I know there are places specifically for this but they are pricey and I’m betting print shops and sign shops could do it much cheaper. Things I would love to know-

    What material do you print on?

    Thickness of material?

    General tips?

    Anyone gone this route before?

    I’ve got a game I want to make a translite for too, but it’s more for a joke so I don’t want to spend a lot of money.

    I have a friend who could probably print it for you at a reasonable cost. Message me privately.

    I can refer you to an online printer I use for my re-creations.
    He's gone up recently but still pretty economical.
    He had a litany of options too.
    I might message robotronjohn myself!
    Example
