Republic Credits?
Sorry Matt, it only seemed appropriate considering the picture of Qui-Gon in your signature! haha

Yeah, I tried that at the bank.
Teller: "I'm sorry, Sir, but your invisible money is no good here. I need something more real."
Matt: "I don't have anything else." <waves hand> "But imperceptibucks will do fine."
Teller: "No, Sir, they won't."
Matt: <waves hand again> "Imperceptibucks will do fine."
Teller: "Sir, other customers are waiting, and I'd rather not have to call security."

Heheh. Or QUID.
Dangit, I was just at 4 dollar stores and didn't even look...wrong shopping list.
I'm wicked curious if the concept pans out...
Yeah, there probably is a tendency amongst those of us that came in well after the brightness threshold was crossed to be more fascinated with copying dumb stuff from a video game we'd never even heard about until this thread, but it's to be expected - we can't very well contribute to anything fundamental, so we try for the niche. *shrugs*
As for the denting issue - you put the wrap inside the tube, not outside or instead-of. Would work, yes?
It's not supposed to be cheap or easy. It's an ordeal.
But if you're not here to make a light saber the hard way, just follow this guide and stay out of the way.
If you're lost, here's a directory of all the most pertinent threads - it'll save sorting through the rubbish, thank the mods for braving it for us.
If you have a question, there's a solid chance it's answered here. Not too much to ask you to check ONE page for your question before posting, is it?
I hadn't known about QUID. Thanks for the link.
It would solve the problem of denting, but create a whole new problem, since the PolyC tube distorts light in its own way, and would certainly wreak havoc on any optical effect created by the lenticular lens.
If you get a chance to test it, let us know how it works out.

(OT - I love how bipolar we all are here. At each others throats one week, playing nicely the next. Beats the alternative!)
Got a Shrek Lenticular Poster for 50c; it's about 8 inches by 5, and unfortunately has a plastic backing, but I'll see if I can peel it off somehow and apply my usual stock of polyc to at least get an elementary test down...can probably print a few sheets of black-and-white alternating lines too. Ah, science-ing on a budget...

Capricious then. Beats being steadily violently negative anyway.
Scraped the paint off, no major difficulties. Working on printing in the right DPI; a 1:1 gradient at 100 DPI looks like 2-on-2-off...a 2:2 gets lines inebtween the 2 pixels, so it's sharper than 100DPI...1 on 3 off, every other line is thinner through the lens...wish I could send you guys a picture, it's wild, but it's so small...
