Where to buy acrylic?

I need acrylic sheets for panels but they have to be a specific size, 9/10cm. Anyone know where I could buy acrylic in such specific sizes?

Yeah, one word though, affordableplastic. I'm not sure you could get such a specific thickness though.

They do have acrylic at Lowe's, but at the one here, all they have is 1/8" (about 5/16cm). I'd suggest looking for 3/8". You might have better luck with that, and it's pretty close to .9cm (putting it into my unit converter, it's .953cm)

Why exactly do you need such a specific thickness though?

Because What I have is 1 cm thick, wich makes it just SLIGHTLY to sensitive, cuasing ghost steps, if it were just that much less thick, it would still be uber sensitive without ghost stepping, and yes that small amount would make that much difference. I guess I'll try affordable plastics and see what's there, thanks.

Perhaps you could try just using a sander to sand off 1mm of the thickness? Unless you can resell the panels for what you bought them for, in which case you might as well just get some slightly thinner panels and sell the old ones.

If you havent found it yet, mcmaster.com sells 12"x12"x9mm panels. Try these item numbers: (It's possible they'd cut it to 11"x11" if you asked... they're supposed to have really good customer service)

The second one in particular is listed as "high impact strength" and tight thickness tolerance.

I have a full set of acrylic panels off a cobalt flux, if you'd be interested in buying them. Give me a PM
