I'm thinking you might need a low end co2 laser. Router was my thought but I wonder about chipping. I know cpr uses laser but many places won't cut plastic with laser due to fume extraction

I am assuming this is like the bare minimum you would be able to get away with but I have no idea.

Would still love to know anyone who is doing this on a home user type piece of equipment.

I'm interested in a small cnc router as well. Might pick one up and I can test if i do.

So guys, now that you've swung your machines around what is the best cheap method? CNC router?

The plastics I've purchased from jjp as a whole set or the custom ones cpr has made for me are reverse printed on a large sheet, white coating behind and laser cut.

Thanks for the input everyone. Now to decide.

AH nice... so what would a setup like yours cost?

Thanks! So many thing I could see using that for.

Thanks for the recap. Post here once you use it!

Thanks for the update!
