Yes, it’s polished.

Okay thanks for checking. Any luck with the remaining 5000 sq. in?

Not yet. If you’re using LCD panels and wanna try out backlighting with Endlighten, you could help out with the remaining 5k, though (see http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/5108/ if you want details on that method)

How thick is the Enlighten (mm)?
What size is it (L,XL)?
Will it be strong enough for a 45” across table top?

Elias: we’re determining whether to use .315 or .5 inch Endlighten. I’m not sure about its strength, but if the shortest side is 34 inches or shorter, then the light should be even. I’ll get back to you on the thickness.

Well, if thickness is still up in there air, may I request .315 (8mm) or .394 (10mm) inch.

Yep, I want that, too. I just want to make sure that it’s sturdy enough for your table.

Thanks Eli, I cant wait for you to sell the rest. As of right now 8mm is the best size as I am also thinking on getting a second sheet of 10mm for the back light.
Also, I figure, the thinner the Endlighten, the more clear the LCD panel underneath will be, which is very desirable in my LCD DSI setup.

... okay. Where are you buying from?

Another member has an extra 10mm piece he wants to get rid of. Im not sure if it is big enough though, Im waiting on a PM.

I just learned that Creative Edge Group in Florida is selling it again. I’m waiting for a quote from them.

Any updates?

Are you still needing more for the order?  If so, I would be interested in a 22.5"x14" piece.

Is the 0.315” (8mm) thickness sufficiently rigid for a 48” x 30” (WXGA ratio) piece?

Update: from thread Large Endlighten sufaces?

if you go for the xxl, it should be possible ( if you use enough leds) to build a table that is 2*2m

Yar: yes, we still need more. I’ll mark you down for a piece.
Geppetto: anything with the smallest side over 28 inches is pushing it, I think.

Need to sell 2557 more square inches. Anyone else?

Geppetto: anything with the smallest side over 28 inches is pushing it, I think.

I have tested a very large piece of 1/2 inch Endlighten with the environmentallights newer/denser 850nm IR LED strips and can confirm that the light does not travel more than about 17 inches from the edge of the acrylic.  What that means is that you should not have your shortest side be less than 34 inches.  If you do, you will need to supplement IR lights below the touch surface like in a Rear DI setup.

I’m up for a piece if this is still going down.......looking at 10.75” X 13.75” and 8mm - 10mm preferred if that’s still up in the air, but i’ll just be happy to finally get my hands on some endlighten. The dimensions may grow larger too, depending on a couple of things, before the order goes through so that might help take up some of those extra square inches.

alphard, I’ve marked you down for a piece. Thanks!

How hard is this stuff to cut? Do you need a special saw? I ask because I am thinking about ordering one large piece so I can cut as needed and save half for another MT project that will inevitably ensue after this one. Plus I can take up some more of those remaining squares and speed this process along : ) Anyone with any conventional wisdom to pass on about this?

Alphard, it is very, very difficult to cut. It’s pretty fragile and shatters easily, according to one company that’s worked with it. If I were you, I’d either figure out your cuts now or find a local plastics shop that is willing to do the cutting.
