Not to sound smarky, but I did the math about 4 months ago

You should try Delrin guys, GREAT STUFF for small production runs.
Very good mech-chars, machinable, and can have nice finish.

It works well with a laser, not as nice as acrylic, but still good.
I was about ready to have a custom block made by emachineshop.com. I'm glad I read this thread as a big piece of it was going to be polycarb. I guess it will now be Delrin! I was wondering though, the Delrin types available at emachineshop are either black or opaque white. Is fully transparent Delrin available?
