    What is the actual diameter in cm or inch of the circular template?

    As a CHA player I need tons of smoke templates and all types I own have different diameters. The template from the english starter box has a size which is different from the printout version from the homepage and both have a diameter that is different from my three acrylic templates.

    DVD-size. 10cm if memory serves. 12cm

    One of my low-priority plans is to bring home the plastic protections that come in DVD-cake boxes from work and recycle them as smoke/blast templates

    The starter ones are known to be a slightly different size. If the downloaded and printed one is different from your acrylic ones, your printer may have been set to scale to document to fit the page, instead of printing at actual size.

    The circular templates should be 120mm diameter, which happens to be the same size as a CD/DVD.

    I try to be thorough with this kind of stuff but those laminated diy-templates where from my first days in Infinity so I probably used the wrong scale for the pdf. Anyways they're in the trash bin now together with the starter box template. Thank you very much! :-)

    AOL had been giving out free circular templates for years without even knowing!

    I realized there is a little difference in the size of the S2-Silhouettes of different companies, too. Bandua is a little bigger, if I remember correctly...

    The most convenient way is to cut a 120mm circle out of foamed PVC, cut out a hole in the middle the size of a standard 25mm base, then cut the whole thing into smaller sectors. This will allow to place the template literally anywhere, and you will also have quite a lot of templates to use
