  <title>Light permeable</title>
  <link>http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&amp;goto=6112&amp;th=1297#msg_6112</link>
  <description><![CDATA[Currently I'm creating a small cube which will house a small LED or bulb. There is a small cut-out which will let the light escape, which will be covered by a thin piece of film (<a href="http://i28.tinypic.com/34dpues.jpg" target="_blank">http://i28.tinypic.com/34dpues.jpg</a>) - it's a little soppy but what the hell!  <img src="http://www.shapeways.com/forum/images/smiley_icons/icon_twisted.gif" border=0 alt="Twisted Evil"> <br />
<br />
My question is: Do the materials have varying levels of translucency? The last thing I want is for all the light to escape out of the material!<br />
<br />
If worst comes to worst, is there anything I could line my housing with?<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated,<br />
<br />

  <description><![CDATA[The base material WSF (White, Strong, and Flexable) will easily let light escape. It's quite translucent. But a little paint can easily cure that.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Thanks WiKKiDWidgets for a quick response!<br />
<br />
I was afraid that'd be the issue. So you're suggesting a quick lick of black paint on the inside, or perhaps coating it all?<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Depending on your application, either will suffice. Albeit, I'd steer you towards painting it all as WSF has a very permeable surface and might let some paint bleed through if not sufficiently thick enough.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[It won't soak in if you use a spray putty or primer first. <br />
<br />
Every part I paint gets some 3 coats of spray putty and 1 coat of primer, rubbed back inbetween coats, before paint even touches it.<br />
<br />
That said, light won't escape at all if your wall sections are 5mm+]]></description>
