plywood. cardboard is a bit too fragile for me. plus i have experiance with wood work, so plywood is the better choice for me.
 
I thought so! if the scaling in pep says it's however many mm wide, and the individual sliced pieces of the pep model are however many mm wide, do you sometimes stick two sliced pieces together in one sheet of ply if the plywood is a little thicker than the individual pieces? and you use gorilla wood glue and a vice to clamp it and bond it together right?

are you asking if its not thick enough to just duplicate a sheet? not too sure what youre asking. and for the glue, i use a professional wood glue (but gorilla glue should work just fine) for the 2 inner peices and screw the rest together. eventually, i will glue, but i just need it openable to incorporate lights and wiring. and as for what holds it together, i dont use a vice, because usually itll indent the wood and only hold one spot. instead i use about 5 of those orange hand clamps you can find for about $3 each.
 
ok, you have your ply sheet, and it's oh, say 20 mm wide, and you have your beginning sliced file, and the next sliced file to it, and they are both 10 mm wide, so instead of just cutting your ply sheet in half, and then cutting out both files and gluing them together, you would just think of them as already put together? I hope this makes sense.

yeah if its necessary. just make sure its not too thin.
