at the risk of sounding facetious, may I suggest you round the corners off with a pair of scissors?

Thats all I do when I am forced to where the grow bag.

Bose - Thats like asking me to land without rounding out - sorry need to make a pattern for the cnc machine so would like exact rather than guesstimate...!!!

sorry need to make a pattern for the cnc machineCan't you just select the correct sized coin from your pocket, and use that to get the correct radius.

Top tip - don't try to use a 20p or a 50p coin :E

A-A, good to see initiative from an ex-RNEFTS stude, however the radius equates to the shape of a 1.5v battery.(AA size)

130mm x 165mm edge to edge (ie not at corners!)

both white and clear plastic sheets are 0.5mm thick

corners are 16mm radius

Judging by the rough edges, the originals seem to be stamped out of a sheet rather than cut, so the dimensions vary slightly by 1 to 2mm either way.

Hope this helps!
