That's what I was referring to when I mentioned a "3D-printed tool for making bevelled edges". For the bevelled edges, at least (though see subsequent post in this thread about the suitability of using the panel itself as a guide for a tool.) A template for cutting the diagonals in the panels is pretty tricky, as it's got to be as big as the panel diagonal to start with, and therefore at least as difficult to cut as the panel itself. I can't think of a good solution for this. > 2. (harder) applying the tape is a pain. I think a 'tape applying > dolly' could make it go faster.
