Custom Sails for Lego Sailboard

cults3d

Working on a Lego MOC that might need a sailboard or ten and decided maybe I could make more local sailboard sails. Middle picture has the original sail on the left. I copied that as kind of a "control" to see if it behaved. Of course, printing on transparency film loses the "white", so how well these work depend a lot on the background and lighting, but I'm pretty please with how well they worked out. Space Needle, Seattle Waterfront, California Sea Lions on a bouy, Washington State Ferry, Lego block like patter, Orca and the Seattle Troll. Sea lions and Lego pattern probably work best without a white background. Credit: The Orca and a few of the other photos are "mine", but a few are anonymous from the web. WARNING: If you intend to cut on a laser cutter, pick a material that you can both print on and is safe for laser cutting. Many transparency films are plastics that emit scary chemicals if you try to laser cut them, harming both you and the laser!
