I find myself in need of a small piece of Delrin sheet (.0700 or 23/32nd thickness or so). I only need about 2"X2" of it. I've done some surfing and can't find any reasonably priced source... and mostly only in sizes MUCH larger than I need.
Don't suppose anyone knows of a good source, or even has a chunk lying around and needs assistance with de-cluttering their shop?
Long story short... I need to make a slightly larger C-661 slide block (the one on the tab on the back bow of the slider frame) to hold the back of my canopy higher.
Interesting side note... I came across emachineshop.com awhile back. When this came up, I thought it a great chance to try it out. I downloaded their free drawing software, spent an hour teaching it to myself, more time drawing out the machined part I wanted in Delrin, and was feeling pretty proud of myself. Had it run it's automatic quote feature and it came out with something like $250! Clearly, unless you are going to do a LOT of pieces, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Very cool idea though. If you're looking for that perfect gascolator bracket, canopy handle or throttle knob for your next showplane award winner, check it out.
