The Lithopanes are cool stuff, Al. There are a few guys on the Shark Forum that are doing those too. Building a base with LEDs in them. Another gentleman is doing line art on plexi with LEDs also. I have yet to do a lithopane but it's on my to-do list.

 

I've been cutting lithos for 4years now and they are easy to do just not cost efficient. Takes quite a long time to cut even with a fast machine.

Unless you are doing them as freebie for a friend or incorporating in something pricey, there isn't really profit potential in them.

aldepoalo - how long did it take to cut?

Steve.

 

I think that one took about 20 mins to cut. You really don't have to have a tight of a step over as you might think. I was stepping over 1/4 of the diameter of the cutter. Some people will step like .01 or less and well that's going to take for ever to run even on small jobs.

I've found you can do just as good of a job with 1/4 of you diameter as your step over.....
