Krazypan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi all, planning my first build and just wondering if anyone has made a cabinet from scratch using perspex/acrylic plastic? My thoughts are that it would give you more area to use lighting effects? Sent from my iPhone using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Brad Posted January 18, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2018 Fibreglass sure (not me) but perspex would look like arse and be fragile as hell imo. Incorporate some for lighting but not the whole cab Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It's been done. Check out this thread on pinside https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-acrylic-pinball-project-i-am-clearly-insane Sent from my ALP-L29 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autosteve Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Perspex anything looks cool but problem is sooner or later you need to glue it. The glue I have for especially for perspex luckily says "may cause Cancer in the state of California" Good thing I don't live in California aye.:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Bumper Pete Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I once had a PC tower made from perspex looked cool. but it showed dirt and fingerprints easily had to be made from thick perspex, perspex does not tap easily, so no screws, nuts and bolts with long threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Maybe a wooden cabinet with lexan panels inset into it. Have a strong wooden frame with large clear panels?
