Making a lithophane using photo care
Would anyone have any information on how to do a set up to make a lithophane in cast plexiglass or corian. Looking for detailed set up instructions or a real good tutorial. I am new to this CNC carving and would appreciate any help that is available.

Would not want to do a litho in plexi, actually would not make any sense, not to mention plexi can be and is difficult to machine without much trial & error.
Use the search function here, "litho", you could spend hours and hours browsing litho threads with all the info you need and a whole lot more.
