How to etch 6 perfect triangles in plexi (was green templates)

[hevnsnt]

Ok, let me get to what I am wanting to do.. I want to etch 6 perfect triangles in plexi-glass. About the only thing I can think of is using my dremel to do it, but how would I make them perfect, without any slip ups? I thought about getting one of those drafting triangle templates, but does anyone else have a better idea?

Do you remember those green plastic drawing templates from grade school? They had circles, triangles, letters etc..

Where can I find one of those with a bunch of triangles on it?

Play-Doh Templates?

no, they were for pencil - paper drawings..

So you could make a perfect circle, triangle, etc..

something like this but it was a lot less complex

do they make them out of metal? And changed topic, now asking how, not what

I've never seen a metal one. They have always been plastic.

Why don't you print out some triangles, place the paper on the plastic and then use a razor to cut into the lines?

I thought about that, but razor vs paper has potential to get all fubar'd.. Looking for a easy solution.. Anyone have a laser etcher?
