We took a vector clip art of a skull and cross bones, seperated it into three colors (red, black, and silver), added a sharpie marker attachment to the Phlatprinter and drew out all three colors by changing out the sharpie markers and then for the finale, we cut it out. In this show, we also took some time to show off our Phlat Cat with her new toys from crash5050 and Catclaws.com. This show was a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy it as well

The skull came out pretty cool. Fast too

 

Thanks Buk
Its all in the pen with this one. If we can get that pen to float under its own weight while still being able to stay straight we would be in business. We are working on a few ideas so the next try should work better without any digging in.
One thing that I still cannot figure out is why when we went to do the cutout. It was off?
From watching the video does anyone have any ideas?
We will try this again soon
Thanks
Mark and Trish

 

Mark, did you get a chance to read that PM I sent you guys or did it get tossed due to the gmail virus thing going around? It may help out..?

 

Hello Buk
I did get that email, thank you. Do you mind if we/you post the pics here? I think its a great idea and it takes a lot of the weight off the pen. However after the first experiment ,I still think that it may poke through even with just that little bit of weight. It may be that we have to use a pen with less of a point to it or even blunt the end of the sharpie like Crash mentioned. I still have not had the chance to test the pen weight only, by slipping the marker into a holder and let it 'float' on its own weight.
I may have a chance to get some of that done tonight. If I can I will have the came on as well.
Thank you so much for sending us your idea, it will be next in-line if the floating one does not work.

Sure post away, it was just an idea to help kick start some of your ideas. I know your head stays full all the time with things you would like to try but there's just not enough hours in the day.

 

I know what will help you think of a good idea.......

Go HD! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Shaun you ain't right!
We should get a bunch of these for contest!
The floating one is working well I did a few test last night and the pen no longer pokes through the foam
So we are on our way with that one.
Thanks guys
