acrylic sheets for printer enclosure

[Bill Schwanitz]

So,

Where would you guys go to buy things like acrylic sheets for making an enclosure? I'm thinking of something along these lines  - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:746922.

I got mine from the scrap table at American Plastic Distributors:

Right off 5th Ave in Grandview.

I would also go to American Plastics. Large sheets of plastic aren't
particularly cheap. a 4'x8' sheet of 3mm (1/8") runs around $130 the
last time I checked, or about $4/sq ft.

You can get end-cuts from them (up to about 5"x48") for $2/lb, but
that's too narrow for your enclosure.

I wonder if Walmart poster frames would be acrylic. They are cheap and are about 2' x 3'. Might be too thin for what you need, though.

Most wold be polycarb, and will work just fine for what you need. They're usually a little thinner that 1/8, but it's cheap material for non-structural needs.
