One more question for the scale modelers here-- has anyone found a laserable material that can subsitute for white styrene sheet?
If you build models you know how great sheet styrene is because its completely smooth, flexible, sandable, takes glue and paint perfectly. Unfortunately under the laser, cuts have a tendency to melt and partly re-heal, and it doesn't raster worth a darn.
So far, the best substitute I've found has been micro plywood, but it requires a lot of surface preparation to hide the grain. Acrylic also works, but its brittle and I can't find it in sheets thinner than about 1mm. It can also warp under the laser.
So, any suggestions for a laserable styrene-like material? Thanks!
