Sublime / All, I would like to build a Tantillus, but the laser cut service only have 5mm acrylic, what needs to be change in the model / plastic part (Metric version) to adjust the thickness (I assume it has to be 6mm)? Would be a potential issue? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,238442#msg-238442 Mon, 05 Oct 2026 14:24:53 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,239376#msg-239376 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,239376#msg-239376 zungmann Tantillus Sat, 24 Aug 2013 23:16:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,239019#msg-239019 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,239019#msg-239019 Nyarlathotep Tantillus Fri, 23 Aug 2013 18:11:37 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,238953#msg-238953 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,238442,238953#msg-238953
I built the first laser cut acrylic machine out of 5.5mm as a result of the supplier cutting it out of the wrong material. It was strong but the extra 0.5mm of the 6mm panels made the machine a lot stronger so I would be a little concerned about using 5mm.

There is one machine being built out of 4mm that you could have a look at. I think his extra panels in the bottom should allow for the thinner material while maintaining the rigidity.
