acrylic is pretty easy to do hand fabrication.

So now I need to make a base, ends and a support for the actual clock. I
have ideas for how to do it, just need to figure out how to do the
fabrication :-)

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
