I purchased some floor mats to try my hand at making a custom foam inset using an Apache 2800 case. After trying several tools to cut the material, I was disappointed in how it looked "hacked" up. When I read that someone CNCed the material, it dawned on me that a dremel with a spiral bit may work in a free hand fashion so I looked for a router table for my dremel and Menard's had one. It works like a charm.
So my question. What is the best way to trace the outline of what I want to cut, be it the drone, battery, charger, etc?
Using a sharpie and eye balling it is not very accurate.
Or, does anyone have a template they would be willing to share so I can print it out, glue it to the mat and use it as my cutting guide?
Maybe @supergimp or @Don't Wanna would be willing to share something I can print off to get me started?!?
Here is a pic of the $26 dremel router table and how the dremel cuts the floor mat. Not perfect but sure beats a knife or hand saw.
