I have become aware of large, inexpensive tracing light boxes that offer a very even (so they say) surface to be used for tracing. But perhaps these can be used for flat frames too?
They also offer the ability to be powered via a USB cable which is very convenient.

I do believe so, Jim.
They can give you a very neutral illuminated frame.
If I remember correctly, I think a T-shirt (white) over the end of the Telescope or Lens, with a steady light source.
I never could manage stacking, but I tapped every trick in the book trying.
Then the magic of Atik shot me out of a cannon.... Wow!
Everything was there, just needed the right camera.
I’ve heard yes as well. They aren’t so cheap tho, at least when I had looked at them. Of course I wanted at least 12x12.
I ended up with a spike-a panel. It’s amazing, I use to do t-shirt flats, what a pain that was. Getting a panel was one of the best things I did. So easy to take. I need to get around to hanging it tho. They don’t provide a way to do that. Right now I just point the scope up and set it on top.

(Probably why it's about 1/2. Because it is half-fast.)
Repeat the last sentence 10 times....

ADJUSTABLE LIGHT - Bright and flicker-free, Craftymint’s tracer lightbox has three different light settings to choose from. Whether you’re sketching or crafting during the day or night, you can easily adjust the brightness to suit your preference.
I agree with yall , I've been using a usbTracer led 9x12" flat panel with insanely bright to barely illuminated dim for my homemade light box , I still use a white t-shirt to get it just right due to my laptop screen and shoot 13 inches away in my cardboard light box that fits over the tube . They come out fine once I got the distance back far enough. Trial and error in everything I do in this adventure. $20 bucks when I got it 2 yrs ago.
