Re: Acrylic Gearbox Sideplates

It has nothing to do with cost for us. It completely comes down to machinability. You can't cut polycarb with a laser... or at least not the same laser.

We do have CNC mills at our university but it is much more of a hassle to access them ordinarily. And we don't have any engineers on our team that have experience in using them.

But thank you for the advice.
