The company i work for bought some FULL sheets of 1/8 inch Acrylic for a project but cant use it. some of it has cracks and most of it has holes drilled along the edges. They now no longer need the material and said i could have it if i hauled it off. Im willing to share it with anyone willing ot help me get it to the maker space. @
Company is on the corner of Rufe Snow and 820 in North Richland Hills TX
a few of each panel type bellow:
LEXAN 48 in. x 96 in. x 1/8 in. Clear Lexan UV Stable Polycarbonate Sheet
OPTIX 48 in. x 96 in. x 1/8 in. Clear Acrylic Sheet
This would be great for making enclosure/shields for the Surface Grinder, Alum Saw and other tools… Metal Shop could probably also use. Random holes wouldn’t make a difference.
Laser begs of you all…do not store the polycarbonate under the Laser table or Woodshop scrap, even if marked “non-Laserable” as it will eventually be made into smaller pieces that will likely go unmarked.
Preferably, take the Lexan/polycarb home or place in your personal storage on site.
That said…what a wonderful gift. Please thank your employer, @GriffC. I know from first hand experience that it will go quickly.
Wanted to clear this up. I am planning on splitting the materials with whoever can help and using the Acrylic for my own projects, and sharing with whoever helps me get it to the Maker Space, though i think donating the Lexan should be fine, as it seems to be so useful for the machine shop.
That being said I will make sure the Lexan is stored far away from and labeled properly so it wont be laser cut.
