Re: What does your team use to make the clovers for tetras?
We used LDPE cut with out laser engraver/cutter. This only works marginally though, as the plastic likes to remelt behind the area that had just been cut. It also warped a lot when making a large sheet of them, so we could not do the second pass to make them actually cut out, and then had to break them out like an ice cube tray. Still, we were able to make about 40 of them in about an hour (most of which was taken up by the cutting process). If you dont have a laser cutter, this is irrelevant though.
I want to try lexan, as that cuts much more cleanly, but I think we have enough until some break.
I am interested to know if anyone has cut them with a water jet, as that might work better than the laser.
