How to make it
Cut from 1/8" LDPE on a CNC router (or a large CO₂ laser for Mylar). Panels overlap and have matching registration holes: pin them together, spray marking paint straight down, and lift before it skins.
Checked for these materials
| Material | Machine | Thinnest strip | Narrowest opening |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/8″ LDPE (recommended) | CNC router | 24.98 mm | 30+ mm |
| 1/8″ HDPE | CNC router | 24.95 mm | 30+ mm |
Measured on the exact cut lines for each material, after kerf.
Quality checks
