Does anyone have any HR Portal/Half-Life logos, like the Black Mesa Logo, Portal guides etc

Tomorrow I'm making stencils and this is the only HR pic I've gotten so far

Probably not useful since bending wire into a circle is hard as shit, but I made it in a welding class. But still kind of cool, yea?

The last three I ran through my homemade vinyl cutter with great success.

Cheap CNC decals/stencils anyone? Old HP plotters FTW :P

Did you modify it yourself? Post pics of your setup, plox.

There really isn't much modification needed.
I found an old HP plotter, a 7470A but any that uses a pen will do. Rolands are better but more costly.

I removed the left and right pen 'grabbing' arms and taped in a pen in each. Oddly it uses the presence of a pen to calibrate the carriage.

The hardest part was making a serial cable. These 30 year old HP plotters use 'Reverse HP Null Modem' and it took me days to find that and then a diagram.

I picked up a Mimaki knife holder and blades off eBay for $60. I taped this into pen holder. Then I had to add weights (sockets) until I found something that would cut thru the vinyl without slicing up the paper backing.

I bought the vinyl from eBay. You can get ~100 yards for ~$40.

Using Signlab Vinyl 7.1 and it's onboard HPGL (default HP plotter protocol) I was able to convert any high-res image into a vector suitable for cutting. Weeding with a x-acto knife is tricky but provides decent results. Transfer tape is Scotch masking tape.

I hate to sound ungrateful, but could someone post a vector file of that Aperture logo? I'd love to have a sign made up, but the place only takes vector files... no raster graphics.

That makes me glad we have large transfer tape at work.

Nice. Big thanks for taking the effort to show the setup.

I'd really like find some, but I'm betting at the price it's cheaper for me to simply use 3" 3M masking. I'm aiming at the small budget market.

I only wish I knew my plotter had a 7.7x10.7 area limit. Doing a 8.5x11 at a time is wasteful and annoying.

The last vector you'll ever need. (In regards to Portal.)
