I have plenty of 1/4" acrylic lying around, but I am afraid the barb thread won't be secure. I also wanted the extra thickness so I could experiment with nozzles.
BTW: My block is a Z4, so there's no way I am putting the unanodized aluminum top back on. Both the exposed copper and alu were black when I took it off.
Who knows, maybe I'll buy the big piece and try to sell smaller pieces on the forums. PM me if anyone is interested.

I opened a block that I made using an AL top, with an Oring as a gasket...and when I finally got it pred off,galvanic corrosion ate the Al about the size of an oring 3 times the original size in the surface, and had to mill a new top. I should have made the AL and Cu touch, and it wouldnt have done that much damage in 2 weeks! DOH!
