Custom Cut Acrylic Shape Needed

[xXxSpyderxXx]

does anyone know someone local who can cut acrylic into custom shapes? i need about 25 cut pieces. they will all be the same shape and size. they are for my antfarms. here is a sample image of what i need them for.

a single $10 sheet from lowes should be able to make all 25+ of them. i just dont have the tools to cut them. i live in ontario ny so the closer the better.

i think millie at CF might be able to help out. looks like you'll need someone with a router table

What are you doing with the ant farms?

thanks

i dont really go there much nor do i know the owners lol so they may not want to help me out with this project might be to much work for a person who doesnt frequently buy $100's in fish and corals a month

What are you doing with the ant farms?

i have queen ants/colonies of many differnt ants. i will be using them as their new homes. right now they are in test tubes. (thats how you start a colony) o i need these for the to expand and grow.

Do the shapes need to have curves in them, or are they just trapezoid shaped? You could easily do them on a table saw in just a few minutes if they are trapezoids. If not, you'll have to find someone with a router and a flush trim bit.

I would offer help, but my table saw bit the dust a while ago and I don't think I have that bit for my router.

they have curves but a plain trapezoid would fit bc the cuves are small

Not to push this off topic, but what species of ants do you have and why are you raising them? I'm an entomologist and just very curious.

Cheers

What's your time frame on needing these done? I could do them if you don't need them right away, but I might not be able to get to them for a few weeks.

Cool stuff. One of my goals for the future here at the museum is to get a leaf cutter ant colony.

i know a guy who collects leaf cutter colonies for museums

he supplies BEAUTIFUL! colonies and even builds the setups for them, sadly hes not from the US. But im sure he would happily fly here for a full build job
