Topic: Glass thickness under LCD panel?

Hi there,

       I am busy designing an SLA printer , I have all the electronics already to build my 6k 12.8" mono printer. I have a small problem with the LCD, it is only 1.25mm thick, so I need to put it on a piece of glass to support it. What is the thickest you can go with the glass?

I have a UV light source that is quite strong and that delivers the light at nearly perfect 90degree straight up. Does anybody have some input into my design please.

Regards

Nic

Most are usually two to three mm. There really should not be much force ever applied to the LCD.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
