[Bloominglabs-announce] [Bloominglabs-members] Cheap acrylic at Rural King

[James Torre]

With fortuitous synchronicity, Mark (the man who donated several kilograms
of PLA filament) inquired earlier today if Bloominglabs would be interested
in his old 40W laser cutter. I am told it is of unremarkable Chinese
manufacture, and needs a replacement power supply (approximately $70.00 on
e-bay), but the tube is new and effectively unused.

To the old laser hands amongst us, does this seem a desirable proposition?

Hey Bloomakers!

RK is running a clearance sale, and one of the items they're clearing out
is sheets of clear acrylic "safety glass".  They're "single strength",
which isn't a term I was familiar with, but it looks like it's a variable
thickness pour, which isn't ideal for boxes, but should be fine for art
pieces , windows, or any other use that doesn't require close tolerances on
thickness.

http://www.warpbros.com/detail.asp?section=glazing&
cat=flex-o-glaze&product=132 is the stuff they've got.

You can get any size, up to 36"x36" for $3, which is incredibly cheap.  I
already cleared out a fair amount of their stock, but there was still
plenty left at the end of the day yesterday.  Location: leaning against a
shelving unit directly in from the left set of doors.  Yellow plastic
protective coating (this should probably come off before you cut it--don't
know its cut properties yet).

Best,
LaserDan
