MA2 Template

[ycastane]

I am trying to create a template around the Mavic Air 2 with paper and perhaps even try cardstock as it is all folder up. I am trying to do this so i can then transfer to foam in a pelican case so i can keep my mavic in the case with everything else.

Has anyone done this before or found a stencil i can use?

Thanks,

Could you take a straight down photo and enlarge it to actual size and use that as a template ?

I literally just thought of the same thing. My girl has a cricut and the mat she uses has grid lines which will make it easier at the time of printing. I am even thinking of printing it with the cricut and cutting it and see if it works. Hopefully it does.

Thanks for the suggestion MM!!

Yeah i plan to do the plasti dip. Unfortunately the foam that comes in the box i threw out and just kept the box since it has the serial and stuff. Hating myself now big time.

There are special shape tools sold online or at hardware shops that are used to recreate profiles, especially useful for joiners and carpenters. They are comprised of a set of adjustable “needles” that fit around an object to accurately transfer the shape to paper, foam, timber etc. They are not very expensive and would enable you to derive sectional profiles for any of the MA2 components, for cutting with a padded case.
