The resultant carving will be the same in either case.
    What Dave was suggesting was not rotating an image as such but using the
    Isometric view in designer to look at the image on angle to make sure
    it's inverted correctly before carving.

    Well, THAT makes sense, changing the VIEW to see things better. Generally, 'Rotate' is used to mean a translation of the image, not a change in view.
    Happy carving , Jeff Birt

    Matty,

    When you build your display box, how deep is it and what type of light do you use for illumination? For the light what voltage and wattage etc?

    I haven’t built a display box, just had a light behind them.
    But I have now put them in oak frames so they can hang in windows.

    Already have 5 orders for them, great Christmas presents.

    My selling price is 3 x material + $60 hr carving “machine” time.

    Ken there's a ton of info on carving corian and lighting the light boxes including the how to on building them. do a quick Search -- Key word Corian

    I have used both 110 volt and battery power lights from Radio Shack and Michael’s craft store. The plug in ones I use have a roller switch in the cord and are often used around Halloween, Christmas and use night light sized bulbs to light up pumpkins, decorations and the like from the inside. They cost a couple of bucks; -- as a matter of fact I’ve seen them in a couple of Dollar stores

    Hey Matty,

    Thanks for the directions. I've been tring do make a lithopane for months now with no good results. I was doing everything you did except inverting the pic. Well I tried a new project and I was amazed that it finally worked and looked like the original pic. Thanks again, Mike.

    I got mine from a member on the forum named cooldxx. If you do a search for homework projects you will see what he has done, plus what he sells and prices he also lists his email to contact him. If you can't find it pm me and I'll give you his email.

    Default Corian - Printing on backside

    Hello,

    I just received a batch of twelve 1/4" White Corian sheets today, and on the back of the sheets there is black-stamped printing saying "Adhesive Side, etc.).

    Does anyone have a tip for an easy way to remove the printing (so it won't show up with the light shining through)?
    Michael T
    Happy Carving!
