I went ahead and ordered the large samples of mica.

This ties me into a set upper lens size for this batch and created a simple parametric file for exploring lens shapes. Keep inside the lens rectangles.

Limited control points will make the lens easier to cut/stamp out.

I will make a post on my experiments with polarization soon. Since the polarization film is not heat resistant it will have to be added as a snap in feature or mechanical means.

For future note: the machine which measures visible light transmission costs around $500-600.

A little expensive for now, and it looks... lacking in data.
