LF someone with CNC experience

[Jakeller]

Not reef related but I'm planning on building a terrarium for a Phelsuma Grandis, but struggling to find a door/front panel. Looking for someone with experience and access to a cnc machine that can cut acrylic. Rough dimensions are 24 inches wide by 36 inches tall. Might want to go taller. Located in Novato but willing to drive or pay for shipping.

I love them. Had them when I was a teenager.

I used to have P. standings
Geckos are so cool!

Try Tap Plastics, there's one in San Rafael. They can do any custom acrylic work.

I would love to have some standings eventually. I’ve heard they are a little more relaxed than the grandis

Any firm with a cnc router can work this requirement. Just google cnc router and plastic work. That should do the trick.

You can make all your parts on a CO2 laser cutter. and if you want access to a big one and learn how to make it youself, join https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Joining. They have a 150w co2 laser cutter and you can learn how to make this yourself. Someone there can help you.

Elos 70 AIO Conversion Project

I was looking into purchasing a 35-50 gallon AIO cube to downsize from my 150 DT. I decided to take a stab at converting an Elos 70 that I had sitting around empty for years and save a few bucks. Here's a quick and dirty build thread of the project.

Caveat that if you're doing acrylic glue-ups I believe you're not supposed to use a laser cutter. It doesn't give an appropriate edge unless you do post-processing. Might matter less for this sort of use-case though versus something holding water.
