The Framers Forum

We tend to 3d print whatever we need, not that it is very often but these things do make life easier

Almost 3 times as long as this thread has been going, although I only frame the odd piece theses days, to keep my eye in so to speak.

Only you know that, if you have the spare time to do it and it won't impact on your other income streams then go for it.

It wouldn't be cost effective for us based on what I have just said.

That sounds like an awful lot of work to frame a cheap low cost item there Mark I usually add a backing undermount and hinge the poster to that by folding paper strips over the top of the under mount and attaching them on the rear, this supports the poster from the top, stopping it from sagging, per...
