Does anybody have a vinyl cutter or 3d printer?
Does anybody have a vinyl cutter and be prepared to cut me some maths symbols for a clock?
I would obviously pay for the service. Or can anybody suggest another way to produce symbols to be used on a clock face?
Maybe 3D printed?
thanks Keith

When I needed some symbols I printed them on an inkjet printer on to transparency sheets. This might not show it very well, but here's the
process I used;

The printing on to transparency meant I could get the sharp symbols, with the background showing through, without having to cut round the symbol
itself.

many (standard indoor) clocks just use a cardboard face, and a protective cover on the outside.
or you could print it, and used a laminator to seal it and give it some protection and gloss.
you certainly used to be able to buy 'decal' paper, where you could effectively print your own 'letrast' or 'water
slide' colour transfers.
a search finds:

Rub-On Transfer Stickers, surely you have used these in school? come on a sheet, use a pencil on the back to stick the numbers to whatever. I use
these on my model ships.
