About This File

A printable template for the dome former, used to create a dome 'plug' during the production of a dome mould. This former is compatible with the Shawcraft Mk1, Mk2, Mk3, Movie and Planet Supreme plans.

Note that former is compatible with the Version 3 of the listed plans (and above), though it should also work reasonably well with the earlier plans.

If printing to A4, the PDF should be printed with tiling enabled so that it is printed over several sheets of paper. Ideally, crop marks should also be enabled so that the sections can be accurately re-assembled. The sheets can then taped together and the finished former shape transferred to the material you are using to construct the former. 

 

(If you don't know what a dome former is, try doing a search on the Forum or read through the dome construction topics and build diaries. Dome forming is also explained in the Dalek Builder's Workshop Manual.)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask if this file could be used used for laser cutting, and if not, how would I go about converting it?

There are free programs out there (and it is a feature of Corel Draw and some CAD programs) that will trace PDF's into .dxf files. However, it would be a five minute job to draw it up in CAD or Corel yourself.

Great!

Don't forget to take half the diameter of your central pivot rod from the former, and the width of whatever method you use as a bush to help it turn, otherwise you will end up with an overly large dome.
