    No glue here - this is a molded lenticular plastic sheet. I'm eyeballing it at somewhere between 2-3 mm.

    So...if you beam a laser thru one of these sheets...you get a 3D effect projection? An addition to luminia boxes! Coolio!

    Yes, but ideally you will want to spin this for the proper effect. I'm thinking about cutting these out as discs with mounting hubs for either gearmotors or servos in the future. This will result in a more expensive item.

    I figured I would get this out to cover my costs and see what the feedback from the forum members was. As a plastic material, I don't know if there is a need for anything beyond cut sheets. I'd recommend using a 4" hole saw and fabricating your own scan-thru wheel for now.

    I have a hole saw just awaiting this...Much easier than glass (from Luminia class at TEXLEM)
    I have a few slo-mo motors and magnets and luminia wheels...This will push me to getting that box built!
    Thanks for doing this!

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    For reference don't use the round hole saws of thin metal. The adjustable blade types work better as you know the noise I made at TEXLEM cutting the plastic for the warp wheels Click image for larger version.
