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.

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.

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.
