I recently had brief access to a vinyl cutting machine, so I cut out a load of 3x3 stickers. I was really happy with how they turned out, so I've put some up on ebay. This was kind of just an experiment to see if they would turn out well, but if they sell out and I receive good reviews I will consider making a bigger variety of stickers. They are at least as good quality as any other stickers out there, and I will post them 1st class on the same day you buy.

Here is the link:

Enjoy!
 
Yeh I quite like the colours - I'm using them on my main cubes at the moment.

Will definitely have them at UK Open.

The quality is as good as cubesmith, but I will be charging £1.49 per set. I made a relatively small number of sets so I can't go lower. If I end up making a more batches I will obviously address this.:D
 
Interesting, and a good idea! If you carry this on, will you be likely to expand the colours you offer?
 
Thanks Michael - my response was about to be the same. Oracal is just one brand. I'll check the brand of my stickers when I get home... I got the vinyl from a local sign making company - they use it for outdoor signs, vehicle logos etc so I don't doubt the quality.

I would be more inclined to expand to more puzzles before more colours, but I'm very much open to suggestion at this point. I just thought I'd try this out as it seems its not easy for cubers in the UK to get good stickers without a fairly long wait.
 
already did, but only black in color.

duct tape black for 3x3 (standard size)

Ah, OK then, you may go :)

Also, extra points because duct tape is a cool medium to work in!

Back to your earlier point: you have some experience with vinyl -- care to share? I wouldn't know where to start deciding which vinyl to choose for stickers other than trying a few out or just plain copying whatever CubeSmith use!

EDIT: oh yeah, Chris - 4x4x4, 5x5x5 would be the next puzzles to try (oh, and 2x2 orange!)

Um, okay. I recommend using Oracal vinyl. Because this is the easiest brand to get :P

I always have access to cutting machine but I cant sell stickers. (my credit card don't have dollar account) LOL

Oh, the oracal vinyl WILL peel if you make too much contact with silicone or let your dog chew it. (like cubesmith's FAQ)

But the durability is excellent. My main 3x3 have these stickers (Maru one) And after 4 months of heavy cubing, very little damage so far.

Um, and I hope duct tape companies sell other colors. My home made sticker is only black.

What I did is that I peel the Template off the stickers that I got from nowstore and stick it to the back. Then I applied duct tape to the front. I flipped the template over so it's facing me and I used a scalpel to trace the sticker patterns.

One more thing is that DON'T ever print logos on sticker. Once they come into contact with silicone spray they dissolve.

-Hope this helped-

Btw, for more 'fun' go here.

Cyoubx made his V-Cube 3 using Oracal sheets.
