Thanks,
Here's the materials list:
All from McMaster-Carr:
www.mcmaster.com- 8581K33 Acrylic Circle, UV-Resistant, 2" Diameter, 1/4" Thick $3.35 Each
- 8581K34 Acrylic Circle, UV-Resistant, 3" Diameter, 1/4" Thick $3.93 Each
- 8531K12 UV-Resistant Clear Extruded Acrylic Rod, 3/16" Diameter, 6' Length $1.34 Each
Yes you are reading that right, a 6 foot length for $1.34 total, and yes it was a pain to handle.
- 27465A83 Drill Bit for Plastics, 3/16", 3-1/2" Overall Length, 1.5" $4.48
This bit is specifically for drilling in plastic/acrylic without having to make a pilot hole to avoid cracking/chips, I only had two chips on one base, but I was pushing on the drill too hard for those two holes.
- 8334K35 Extra-Firm White F1 Felt Sheet, 1/16" Thick, 12" X 12", Plain Back $8.44
This stuff is pretty dense and was hard to cut to shape after gluing the bases to it-without the felt pulling away on the edge. I'd reccomend a softer felt or cutting this stuff to shape before gluing.
All the Dremel bits I already had, they should be readily available from Home Depot or Lowes or your hardware or craft store of choice.
