Cf tank cut into marker stand

[Switch1418]

does anybody please have the correct angle to cut an old cf tank to use as a marker stand? Ive seen it but cant seem to find it again.

Thanks for any help

Just make sure to fill it first, makes cutting it apart a lot quicker.

Filling it first almost makes it do the work itself. Why work harder?

To work on actually answering your question...... put the marker you intend to display on the tank, hold it so that the marker feels balanced on top of the tank. Draw a line on the tank showing the angle that will balance it best. Start cutting. Fill the tank with concrete after you cut the bottom off and glue on a piece of felt for a nice finished appearance.

Perfect,Thank you Flounder.

Hey Spider. It wont let me post a pic,says ive used up my quota or something. Heres a link to kind of what it looks like,these are 3d printed ones tho. Real ones use way more of the tank.

Thanks! Those are interesting! Better yet, I hadn't seen Fixel on thingiverse! I'm glad to see he's still at it.

I'm late to the party, but if you're cutting carbon, wear a respirator. It's not good for your lungs.
