Try BuyPlastic.com I found them to be relatively inexpensive and prompt shippers.

Oops, meant to edit (a 2nd time) and accidently deleted… Here’s the short double edit version.

TLDR; McMaster has stuff too, about double the cost of BuyPlastic.com, but in some cases having sizes & colors that differ (are not available from) from BuyPlastic.com (which may or may not suit your case).

Also Amazon might be worth checking.

I source acrylic from a local acrylic shop. Good to check to see if you have one in your area.

I source other plastics like polycarbonate and HDPE from a local plastics warehouse.

I source some other plastics like PVC sheet from a local sign maker supply warehouse locally.

Go with Lexan. Much more durable than acrylic so it’ll last you a lot longer.

Lexan is a polycarbonate, there are times when acrylic is what you want and times when polycarbonate is what you want. It totally depends on which material properties are important for you project.
