She always said I never made her anything nice on the CNC...........
The base is a 27" x 10" x 1.5" piece of Maple. The plexi is 1.5" thick. The litho's are .5" bone white corian.
I used the LED strips that can be found cheaply on Ebay and did some basic soldering. It was a fun project that took about 4 hours from start to finish.
Here are some pics of the litho process. I used a video I found on the Vectric forum to use Aspire to design the lithos.
The idea was that I can give her updated litho's every year with the latest school pics......
It worked out well, as I've spent A LOT of time figuring out cut speeds, directions, and such through the years.....
This forum and the Vectric forum have made me customers for life!
Very nice project......got to look at this Litho thing in more detail!
And where to find corian down this neck ofthe woods.....
Cheers
I have had good luck with lithophanes using High density polyethylene.
If you use white acrylic make sure it is cast and not extruded.
