I recommend giving the maker space a try. A laser cutter is fine for acrylic,
and they probably have people there with good procedures and design software for
getting from idea to cut plastic.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a case for one of my clocks and started looking at online
fabrication services such as big blue saw. I am basically looking at designing
and fabricating one-offs of some simple acrylic pieces (with cut outs/holes
etc.). I was wondering if anyone can recommend a service that is reasonable for
one-off parts like this? I'm also looking for a reasonably simple CAD package to
design them in. I have messed with various CAD packages in the past but I am
looking for something that is easy to design the sort of simple 2D parts I am
thinking of.
There is also a nearby maker space I could join for $40 a month. It seems like
overkill for what I want (at the moment!). Plus I would have to buy materials
anyway and they only offer laser cutting rather than water jet cutting.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Paul
