Hi everyone.
I just came across this. Sorry if it's already been posted. Seemed really interesting to me. Virtually indestructible, real glass:

Re: Flexible glass
Really cool, I wonder if that would make a glass flexvat possible. Gotta find me some Willow Glass!
Oh heres some!
10pcs for $245, Not a bad price. If it works as a flex vat it could be better than FEP and last forever!

Gonna see if I can get some to test out.

Re: Flexible glass
I would be in for a group buy if there's more people interested?

Re: Flexible glass
Its not big enough for my 20.8" LCD Vat or the 9.6" LCD Vat so not much use for me, But I think its big enough for most DLP printers. They even have a 100mm Diameter round one that might be good for you guys using LittleRPs..
Ive contacted a supplier of Willow glass to see if I can get a larger sheet.

Re: Flexible glass
Just got a quote for some Willow Glass from a supplier. I need a 18x14" piece. They quoted $250 due to a single piece and setup fee for custom cutting. Its only $50 more for a second peice. If anyone wants to get a larger sheet let me know and maybe we can place a group buy.

Re: Flexible glass

Re: Flexible glass
OK newbie question- this looks like it flexes readily in sort of one direction at a time, unlike other flex vat materials which look like they can stretch pretty well. How would you go about implementing this? Would you be able to adequately seal the edges with some type of film or something?

Re: Flexible glass
They dropped a metal ball on it and it deformed with the steel plate, so I would say it flexes in all directions.
