In the South Bay I use Professional Plastics. Big warehouse place that primarily deals with big customers, but they let anyone go in the back and rummage through the scraps. Stuff seems a little pricey but I think that's just the deal with plastic. Plus I usually am getting more expensive stuff like Delrin.<div>

I just never get up there. Been thinking about doing the next 5MOF though.</div>

<br>
also figuring since peeps are using the lazzzor someone might want to go in on a bigger acrylic order.<br>
<br>
i'm planning on picking up like a 4'x8' sheet of 1/4", possibly more to attempt some soundproofing on my apt windows (== above / across from several bars on valencia. most of the noise comes through the windows which are very thin glass)... figured this could be a start of a bulk order.<br>
<br>
In the end, might end up defaulting to a Home Depot run.<br>
