The idea with the screw-on parts is interesting. Please do update us on how the mobility portion goes.

Yes, it is also called "plexiglass", I believe. Just stick with the term "acrylic sheets"- that's how many of the plastic companies classify this stuff. Yes, since "plexiglass"=acrylic, you can vacuform it.

I don't think the local hardware stores sell this stuff. They're called "Acrylic Sheets" and are most commonly found in your local plastics supplier- otherwise, you'll probably need to order them online. It's okay. I'm a newb too. Just start reading all of those stickies- they're really...

Ah....I love these sort of lessons. They are short but filling- this one just made my day. Everybody needs to think about this; it's the very essence of life. If I were on Facebook, I would be commenting and liking this...this is great. Thank you. :D

I have not see one yet thus far, but if you look in the Elite Forums, many of the WIP threads have vacuforming sections on them. They do a lot of vacuforming. If you don't want to look in those forums, just Google "vacuforming". It should come up.

Perhaps I am wrong...but I have been through most of the tuts and stickies in all of the forums and so far I have not found any questions like this. I am not even sure whether this is possible or not, without sacrificing the quality of the acrylic pieces. Is it possible to fuse two sheets of...

Look in the stickies- or even better, look in the Elite forum, through the individual threads that people have put up. There's a lot of info on here- make use of it before you ever have to ask a question like this. **Update** To cfh935- sorry about that- I didn't know that you were posting...

I'd be lucky if I ever started this well on my first Pep project...it looks as though you're making good headway into your project!:) I'm afraid I can't really give advice, as I am an EXTREME noob when it comes to this. XD I'm totally new and so will be watching everybody here in an attempt to...
