The acrylic was from Industrial Paint and plastics. I used one full 48" x 96" sheet with just a few small pieces and some scraps left over. The cost was just over $200 including some solvent weld and a new applicator. Turns out the half bottle I had on hand was enough anyway so the new can is untouched.

I also picked up a new plastics/laminates blade at KMS Tools for my table saw which made the work easier as the cuts were perfect and clean for the joints with no additional prep required. That was another $90 but I'll get lots of use out of it for many other projects with plastics.
