As the designer of the light table is Austrian, this might explain the use of that term. In the past, the prevailing generic term for the material was “acrylic glass.” This may currently be the casein other regions. To my knowledge, “Plexiglass” is simply one of several brand names (Lucite and Perspex are others) of a thermoplastic generically referred to in the US as “acrylic”. I hate to be a terminology nerd for the sake of simply correct another’s post, but I think I might be able to help clear up some of confusion concerning the usage of the term “acrylic glass.” Small screws to fix the baseplate to the frame. Glue or paste to fix the wooden profiles (fitting the edges with a mitre is nice but more advanced, up to you) Thicker is an option, it will make the light more diffused but also weakens the brightness. Make the glass at least 5mm so it can support your weight while drawing on it. One milky acrylic glass plate (5mm strong, 450x300mm) make sure to plan a gap so the glass falls in place easy. One aluminum plate 2.5mm thick, 490x310mm (the stronger the plate the better the heat is derived, this has to be metal, believe me!) 2m of wooden rectangular profile in 5x30mm and 5x35mm (actually you can go crazy on the box, I tried to build it as slim and light as possible) 5 foot LED strip connection wire (those are special wires with four color coded lines in the right distance, you can also buy ready made ones but they are rather expensive) Also make sure the control unit of the LED strip fits in the box, and the strip is able to be arranged to fit inside your box. Make sure to pick one which generates the light out of one LED surface, really cheap ones use three separate LED’s to mix the light, which doesn’t work at close distances. The table is made with an A3 tempered glass cutting mat, size 16.5″ x 11.7″. Showcasing amazing maker projects of 2022 Gift the gift of Make: Magazine this holiday season!
