Cool Plane


This is a great way to keep your printed PLA plane cool!
I wanted to be able to leave my Mig on the flight line or in the pits without having to find a shady spot or bring a pop-up tent. I started thinking about different materials that I could make a cover out of without having to pay the high pricing at the yardage store. My first thought was Ironing Board covers, then I came up with the idea of solar window shades. Stopped by our local $.99 store and found these window covers. Here is what I came up with, I did use a sewing machine, but I don't see why two-sided tape wouldn't work well. It cuts really easy and does not tear. Basically its solar bubble wrap.

I'm a bit south of you, just across from Mission Bay. Yes, we manufacture 3Dprinters and CNC routers and the 3DlabPrints are coming off our printers.
Sent you a PM with contact info.
