[Lab] Making acrylic boxes on laser cutter

[Darcy Whyte]

Power depends on the acrylic thickness and type. You can figure that out on
a small test piece in a few minutes.

Use methylene chloride as weld (not glue).

Get acrylic at cannus plastics. They and others listed here:

For tolerance it depends on what the box if for and how you will join the
pieces.
