When the svg doesn’t come with the design or when you want to create a design like you did, how do you go about in sizing? I’ve been ordering 2’ acrylic blanks but in some I want to create my own design but I don’t know how to size it? Help lol I’m starter in badge reels. 😬
If you buy from Zindee, you will get 1 layer which is the size of the acrylic. You can use that as a template for the design. Always leave a bit of acrylic showing on outer edge so resin has something to hold onto. Using the circle as example, my acrylic is 2", I create an smaller circle @ 1.95" so it's a bit smaller than acrylic & use that to "slice" area I want to keep. Next time I'm off, I'll make a design tutorial. Most my designs are pretty basic cuz I can't draw. I generally use something I have & use slice or weld to create what I want.
