That's awesome, Dave :)

I always wanted to try one on my laser, but I can't even find Corian here in Germany, so this project wandered back into the drawer

Cheers, Andrea

You may be able to use a white or "milk" plexiglas for this.

That should be available.

Andrea,

You should be able to find some Corian-like manufacturers in Germany... I'll dig into my bookmarks when I get home and see if I can find you a couple. I seem to recall LG Hi-Macs having one of their main contacts in Germany.

Here's an earlier thread on the subject.

Mike,

The thread that you link to is what inspired me to try.

These things are interesting and while I admit I haven't tried more I keep looking for a material that would lend itself to even better results. I would prefer something about an 1/8" thick and pale in color.

Your result is quite good with well defined detail.

Thanks for your tips :) I found it - it's made by DuPont. They will send me a list of supply sources where I can get it. We dont have that thickness you used, Dave - standard thickness is 12mm here, but glacier white is available in 4mm

looking at those lithophanes, I always had porcelain in mind - maybe I give that a try
