It's no secret that mesh panels (specially the ones with very small holes, >3mm) are pretty expensive and/or hard to find anywhere.
Today, while heating up my lunch after arriving from prep course, I paid attention to my microwave for no reason whatsoever and saw THIS!
I don't know why I haven't realized that before, as I use my microwave every f. day.
So after eating, i went to 'a place where they get those kind of stuff fixed' (don't know what is the name of this place in english
) and asked if they got some doors from broken or old microwaves, but unfortunately (for me) they had already given the unused spare parts to those guys who gather and sell recycling materials for living. After a little thinking, i went to the local scrapyard and found a whole bunch of broken microwaves 
and bought 5 doors for 4 reais (~2 US dollars)
Sorry for the lack of pics, but what you basically do with the doors, is to peel off the plastic on the back and cut out the mesh panel:
the plastic is well glued, but you just need apply pressure in one of the edges with a flat screwdriver and peel of the plastic with your fingers
they all got 1mm holes as far as I know and they look very sexy
