Default Plexi, Lexan or ???

I could use some help in choosing the material, such as Plexi or Lexan.


Hi Rick,

Lexan has a higher melting point than Plexi. Therefore it's easier to drill
or cut. Plexi tends to stick to the drill bit once it becomes hot. Lexan is
more robust from a mechanical point of view, while Plexi tends to break. So
if you have both available I think Lexan is the better choice.
