Conical cutting with sign blazer

Recommended Posts

I am wanting to cut some decals for my daughters cheer team to put on tumblers, I haven't been able to find anything on how to do this, I have several software programs that will give me a conical picture but they are not compatible with sign blazer software. Tried to import into sign blazer but having problems. Anyone know how to do in sign blazer?

the tumbler size is

top diam. 3 3/4

bottom diam. 2 1/2

tumbler Height is 5 /34

Jerry,

 

I answered your previous thread on this...with a link to a conical template maker that outputs in pdf and svg.

Using your measurements, I came up with this pattern.

The pattern is supposed to be actual size and wrap all the way around the cone you described.

I'm looking at it and wondering why the pattern is not 5 and 3/4 inches as you described and as I entered into

the template maker.  You may have to resize... I didn't cut the file and measure it... just going by appearance.

 

Hopefully, one of these formats will work for you.

keep in mind you will want to distort your image to have it come out correctly on the glass. I use inkscape, and pattern along path to do this.
