Mr. Ives, I was curious what type and weight of paper you use for your models? Is it a matter of personal preference or is there one you find is better suited to the task when you print and make your models? Thanks for your help.

I use 230 micron board from my local printer. It is reasonably priced and does the job well.

Is there a special tool or technique to use to cut out perfectly round circular holes inside a piece?
