Not really a 3D printing question but somewhat adjacent: For laser cutting people, where do you normally get your supply of acrylic and other cutting materials?
I have a local spot, and I'm aware of TAP Plastics as a known good source. I also know that Amazon has a bunch for cheaper, and I'll be trying some of that to check for quality.
For reference, prices I've seen for 1/8" thick 18"x24" cast acrylic sheets are usually around $12.50 (Amazon) to about $25 (TAP Plastics and my local supplier). It's cheaper for larger sheets of course, but I don't think I do enough laser cutting to justify buying such large amounts and spending the time to break them down (yet). Shipping can also be a concern and additional cost sometimes (TAP Plastics is pretty pricey IIRC)
If there's any other good places to look, I'm interested
