Nice if this could be fixed. It is almost impossible to search for recommendations for printing with a number of different plastics.

Logged as a bug. Thank you!

Nophead's PMMA (acrylic) results only exist as a teaser link on the main blog http://blog.reprap.org/2010/01/new-year-new-plastic.html

And we need to bring it into our main documentation here.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) poly(methyl 2-methylpropenoate) is a transparent thermoplastic. Full details can be found here

Chemically, it is the synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate. It is sold under many trade names, including Policril, Plexiglas, Gavrieli, Vitroflex, Limacryl, R-Cast, Per-Clax, Perspex, Plazcryl, Acrylex, Acrylite, Acrylplast, Altuglas, Polycast, Oroglass, Optix and Lucite and is commonly called acrylic glass, simply acrylic, perspex or plexiglas. Acrylic, or acrylic fiber, can also refer to polymers or copolymers containing polyacrylonitrile.
