Im bored at work and was looking to play around with differnt gauge face designs to update my cb500's gauges. I know someone must have a file with the gauge faces saved to their pc.
Here are my semi repro that i had screenprinted at work. All in adobe illustrator as well. I am working on other designs (flames,ton-up). Yet i have not yet finished them because of a helmet design i am working on currently. The blue line is for the cut on the laminate plastic that they are printed on.
What can you do with a vinyl plotter? I'm interested in having the forum logo cut out of vinyl so I can sandblast the design into a round aluminum engine cover. It would be the black area I'd want in vinyl so I could sandblast the white areas.
Anyone know how to do this in a material that could stand up to some light blasting or etching?
I'd have to measure, but it's the DO THE TON circular logo like you see in the upper left corner of the page. Probably about 4 inches across.
I'd also be interested in the same thing cut out in black vinyl to apply to the bike in a couple of spots when done. Probably about the same size - 3 to 4" across.
You should be able to save the illustrator files as dwg. files, or even autocad files, then the plotter can read them. just click save as, then click the drop down menu and there are lots of different options.
depending on the plotter you may have a plug - in for adobe illustrator that would be able to plot directly out. Flexi or gerber edge is what i used for the amberlith cut for screen.
I have some ton up graphics if anyone is interested in them. They are currently on my machine at work.
Will McD: try ai cs2 it's trace program works best of the old streamline, inkscape programs that are out there.
seeing as the speedo on a bike is really a guesstimate anyway, someone should make one that just has little color coded wedges with labels like "too slow, slow, crusing, fast, too fast" or maybe pictures to illustrate each speed...
