Any idea what the best way is to glue acetate (transparency film) to styrene? The web seems to say Ethyl CA, but I'm open to suggestions . . . John C.
Yep, better.Your lines are better than mine (though mine may be thinner - they were .5 point lines drawn in Adobe Illustrator). The lines on mine look fine from a few inches away, but up close you can see some spots where the toner didn't quite fill in the line. What kind of printer are you using? Mine is an HP Laserjet 2035 (black only).John

A big work printer. Mies just a test- my drawing was made in cad and saved as a PDF. the red sections are 0.159mm in cad or 1" in 1:1. I will measure them when I get home.Thanks for the tip@wazzou, thinking elmers may work for my little windows going in a window frame from the back.
A follow up- turns out that the solid hatching I used on the drawing included the lines that the hatching falls within, so the line thicknesses are additive to the overall width of the hatch (red).Later testing with these lines removed shows that the hatching is indeed very thin, but more testing is required until I am happy with mine. I will post image results later.Meanwhile here is an interim test, much thinner but I can't figure out why the horizontal line on the other side of the vertical line thin out like that:
I make a 3D CAD model, to N scale and make a 1:1 drawing of that. it is very easy to replicate in a matrix that way for me. I can save the dawing in many formats- dxf, dwg, pdf, jpg, png, svg, and more.This was saved as a pdf.
Ok then, if you zoom way in looking at the muntins in the PDF file, does everything look ok or are they different thickness? I'm tryign to figure out whether it is the CAD->PDF conversion or the Adobe PDF or Printer's driver raster engine.
