I clean after cutting as there is a fair bit of dust on them from the pp. Pulling them through a damp dishcloth works fine for me.
I spend a couple of days cutting, to build up a stock of cut pieces. In between I am cutting up the PVC to A4, we have ‘requisitioned’ the repro hole punch (shhh, they don’t know yet) which will punch through up to 5 sheets easily.
Big pair of scissors and we can round the edges off 3 sheets at a time.
I’d like to optimise my files but, they are fast enough and my 2d design skills are woefully short.
(on that note, are you using the V shaped variation on the adjuster strap? if so, have you got a file in non-dxf format that I could use, my attempts to load this into lasercut software does not work, the V’s do not appear in the imported file?)
We have a team of 4 in for 1/2 a day, properly socially distanced we have: one chopping/punching PVC, one putting headband and standoff together, one adding the adjuster and one adding the PVC.
The chopper/puncher then keeps checking social media / email and does bagging and labeling.
We aren’t bothering with the top parts, no-one has asked for them.
I am celebrating the whole:
Government; “oooh a nasty virus, what do we do?”, runs around in circles, waving hands in air.
General public: “Hold our beers, we’ve got this”
I really hope this is a turning point for the whole way global manufacturing works, pay a bit more, have it made local, less emissions, less of a problem when something like this happens.
@Smokey - we have shipped >1500 in just over 2 weeks, getting the stuff for 2000 more.
