If you go to GE polymers and ask at the front desk they might have some cut
offs. I have some 36" long pieces of I think 4" and I can check. I am also looking at cnc machining some end caps. Let me know what your caps look like, Don Calgary:idea:

donlite,

These are some pictures of end caps I machined on a cnc router for a small media reactor. Bubble plate was done using a simple drill pattern with a 1/8" end mill. I've always used double sided carpet table for holding down acrylic on the table. Vacuum tables don't seem to do well with acrylic and the feed rates (low spindle rpm, high feed)

Acrylic Concepts is a good place to go. I'm getting them to CNC my overflow box for me.

Sabic did buy ge polymers. Sorry about that.:sad:

thanx guys i got pricing from GE polymersnot not bad at all 17.14$/ ft for 6" outside diameter. i have to check with Acrylic Concepts tomorrow no one in the office today.
i will be posting plans and photos as soon as i start building.

That's a similar price to what I was finding in Edm, thing was had to buy the full 6' length.
