Buying materials

Where is the best place to buy acrylic material from? I have found a site that looks pretty good but would rather have some recommendations before I buy?

I’ve gotten good plastic from:

Trotec’s captive source:

And there’s ever-changing array of Amazon suppliers, although avoiding sellers who also carry beachballs / hair straighteners / pet food poses something of a challenge.

I found a local supply house and a plastics engraving business. Both of them give me scrap acrylic. One charges a small fee, the other keeps it in a box and I go get it every month or so when they call me.

I’d look for it locally if possible… Usually makes for lower cost test materials… I’ve made a number of projects out of their scrap… Most of their scrap was larger than my project… what’s not to like…

Good luck

My company buys from this site for their material.

Thank you, I live on the Isle of Wight so unfortunately I couldn’t find anything local. I will have a look at some of the sites that people have recommended.

Thank you, I will have a look. It’s just a shame you have to make an account before getting any prices.

I’ve used this company once before when I needed some clear acrylic for refurbishing my 3D printer tanks. Came well packaged although one piece out of eight was scratched.
