[MakeLV] CNC/Laser cutting offer

[Tyler Worman]

I'll check if I can get buy the plastic from one of UM's engineering
departments. I'm not sure where else I would source a bit block of that. If
that doesn't work I could slice it and make it out of multiple pieces of
acrylic on the laser cutter which you then attach.

3rd option would be to print it on one of our printers but someone with a
Thingomatic could probably do that better than we could. Our stepper motor
driven printer has been on the fritz.
