Yes but they do not print in the centre 30 mm

tom osselton:
How about 3d printing it then casting in bronze?

John Stevenson:
That would work well Tom if the lettering was a decent size.
Some of these letter will be about 2mm high so the detail in 3D printing will be crap.

It's not that hard to do as by some means you need the master. Long Short in the absence of anything decent it has to be drawn.

Once you have the drawing you can do the print - iron on - ferric chloride dip etc

Or just sent the file to the engraver and sod off down the pub.

Me ? No contest...........

The program i use has the facility to alter the internal diameter of the centre hole. If the program is set to a small diameter it will allow approx 45mm to the edge of the CD. It would be possible to drop the brass cd in the tray and still have enough area to print several 38mm labels equally spaced around the edges of the central hole. You could then etch and cut to size

hope this helps

BTW, thanks Mick for the help/advice on the L5. Keep up the great work. look forward to seeing it completed  :wave:

Manxmodder:
Thanks for that Stig,I was wondering if the dimension of the unprinted centre area could be altered.

Also thanks John for sending me a copy of the artwork in file format,I'll show you the resulting outcome when I decide which method of creating the resist mask I'm going to use.

Cheers,OZ.
