I've been using plexi-glass and it would be nice to find something that you don't need to hack-saw or band-saw. -dModder Cammer,

I kept scrap stuff in my tool box and accumulated a pretty decent stash. I have scrap pieces from 1/32" to 1/4". I like to work with 1/8" and under because you can easily score and snap it. You don't need a table saw or anything to cut it. Cast acylic sheet tends to have a stiffer feel than extruded sheet. And that's the stuff I prefer. Cast sheet tends to have paper cover sheets on the faces and the extruded tends to have a plastic film. cammer -dModder,

I'm just getting started in photography, and have always enjoyed working on electronic-mechanical projects. So, Part 1 was very interesting and filled with great detail! Is the acrylic sheet you are using very rigid and how thick is it? I'll have to check-out my local hobby shops. -dModder Cammer,
