Source of Acrylic

[ajfisher]

Hi all.

I know we have had some samples and what not over time but am looking for some pretty stock standard 3mm acrylic to build some more SimpleBots. 

Does anyone have a local-ish source they could recommend? (Ideally but not necessary that they can deliver as I don't own a car)

Cheers

Andrew

A couple that I know of quickly off the top of my head that I've used before:

http://www.plasticraft.com.au/

Not an exhaustive list.

Others include Plastics for Industry, and Regency Plastics.  These are more drop-in shops but perhaps they can be persuaded to mail or courier.  Its normally economical to slice down a full sheet, if you need half a 8x4' sheet or more

I've mail ordered from Global Acryllics in QLD before - they sell a large range and in A3 or A4 size which might be convenient if you don't need too much

There's some cut A4 pieces on ebay $8.70 delivered for two.  http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Acrylic-Sheet-Perspex-Sheet-Clear-Pack-of-2-A4-Size-210-x-297-x-3mm-/171237228048?pt=AU_Building_Materials&hash=item27de88be10.  Probably not as economic as whole sheets?

I have bought from this place

Personally I picked up, but I am sure they would deliver.

This art supply store near RMIT had, eg, A4 sized 3mm colored acrylic sheets for $6.60 a sheet:
