...... for your cove box designer.
I haven't worked out how to transfer it in to something my CMC can work from yet, in fact I'm so useless on computers, here's a screenshot - taken with my camera! All plotted manually from a print out of the cove box designer. I cut the 'V' cut-outs by hand.
The frame was for a mobile phone company who I'd done something for last week with a deep (5mm) wrapped bevel, they liked it but wanted the same but MUCH deeper and MUCH wider - a coved mount then!
Because it had to have a window mount as well I cut the top of the box in V grooves to make a flap to stick to the window mount.
It was done quickly, it's a sample, the light mount the SIM card sits on is just a piece of board dropped in, it's not even bevelled the right way.
Got a call today, they love it ..... but ..... can I make the card sit IN the board instead of on it but not with the sides coverd? Yep. Can I make it 'glossy'? - Yep - Melinex overlay. Can I make the frame the same navy blue as the cove mount? Yep - will get some samples together, some plain, some laquered.
They sell to 9 countries and want those country's flags, in the shape of their company logo, on the cove mount, just one per frame I think. So - nine frames then?
Er - no, nine frames per country - so 81 frames - have not worked out the cost yet but quoted £85 for this one, which they are happy with!
