Acrylic or Lexan
Which one is easier to work with... ie: easier to cut without cracking?
|
thick or thin? thin lexan you can just cut with scissors or a razor really easy...
i remember trying to cut acrylic with a dremel, man that was a freaking nightmare, i gave up :confused: |
Pretty thin, no thicker than 1/16.
|
you can probably razor that or scissors then... that's what we use to cut out bodies of r/cs and stuff... i'd probably suggest a razor tho
|
I hear its extremely easy to scratch (or maybe its acrylic thats easy to scratch).
|
mm... yes and no. lexan is generally extremely durable, but you can get small surface scratches pretty easily.
|
and a warning: it also generally melts very easily :)
|
sounds like u learned that from experience, iroc:D
Thanks for ur help!! |
I've been working on my new case, just made of acrylic, and a little lexan...
I've used 0.75mm lexan, really easy to work with, just use a scissor, like "iroc409" types... I've also used 3, 5 and 10mm acrylic, here i used my Dremel to cut, and do CNC like thinks... I will soon have some pics.... |
you have to be careful with acrylic and dremels though, if the rpm is too high it just melts all over the place. better to use a plastic cutting knife, or a hot knife. tried to make a panel for my camaro dash, finally just had someone else do it. they did it better though, it was beveled and everything :)
