If I remember from my school days you can manipulate perspex just with a little heat from a heat gun so you could make one quite easy

[michael92]

a halogen heater on its back will be good to bend acrylic, i remember too using a line bender to do that job! but there well in excess of a 100 spondoolies!!

just be carefull!

Then file and polish the edges and your done ...... Oh no just realised I did learn something at school lol

[monsterob]

you can also finish the edges with a blow torch if your quick the trick is go fast enough not to warp but slow enough to melt and soften the edges

like doing a creme brulee best to practice tho !

you can improvise to make a line bender bit of copper pipe and a blow torch ?

I can say that a torch was a bit too much. There were bubbles at the bend. no amount of sanding or polishing would get rid of them (That was a waste of an hour or two).

This is Lexan so it would bend with a brake if I had one. I might give it another try.
