Kresty's Static D-O

[kresty]

Well, seeing how fast I can make a little bit of Dio.  Decided to do a flat cone for the head, styrene from our laser cutter.

(I'd appreciate feedback on the three "eye" strips, though they're probably "final" for this build)

This is the final idea I intend to cut.

And this is what it looks like before I rolled it up:

I used David Os's Thingiverse model for scale, but I didn't like how the "eye" strips ended up when I printed the paper draft:

First they seemed too "long" to me, getting too close to the green nose.

So I remeasured from some stills from the stage video and made it about 9mm shorter on the nose end.  But then after printing they seemed too skinny.

So, again, I remeasured the width from the photos and bumped them up to 13mm wide.  The final result seems decent to me, so this is what I plan to cut from styrene pretty soon.

I'm going to need to fit some rings to the inside to help it keep it's shape, I'll go ahead and 3D print those.  I guess I traded a day of 3d printing the cone for a day of redesigning it

I uploaded PDF's for the cuts I intend to use to D-O Template Files.

One is the one I printed (scaled to fit on letter size paper).  The other is what I'd use on the laser.  The laser file has RGB 000 black lines for the cut lines with skinny widths, should work for Epilog and Universal lasers.  I also added a RGB0000FF blue line to mark where the edge of the green is... Hmm, be careful if you're only using widths to cut with.
