Melamine maybe?

Looks like Melamine to me too

I believe you. I am also happy to hear that melamine is HARD if not impossible to cut as I have been trying for a while and considering myself a failure! :slight_smile: Thanks for sharing!!!

Melamine covered MDF can easily be cut with a laser… SeeMeCNC ships all their printers out of it… works perfect.

I have the thin black/grey chipboard material.

Or just cut regular 1/8" birch wood on a laser and paint it whatever color you want. :slight_smile:

Noted.

Looks like melamine covered MDF. … Yes seemecnc uses a lot of it

Just a quote I ripped from Seemecnc website “…The wood kit’s laser cut framework uses a new material introduced to 3D printers by us, melamine laminate. It’s easier to work with, and more durable than other laser cut plywoods that are popular. …”

@StephaneBUISSON the description in the build file for that just simply says " MDF with white coating" http://www.gaudi.ch/GaudiLabs/wp-content/uploads/HackStageMicroscope.pdf

My firend has a Rostock Max 3D delta printer and it is MDF with a nice white Melamine layer on each side. looks the same as the Vinyl sheet material that +Peter van der Walt posted :slight_smile: I’m not sure we would want to laser cut PVC material though if possible.
