For the top U, thin plexiglass about 24 X 18 for $6 or less from Hobby Lobby, might be located next to the stained glass pieces and hard to see in the store even if the guy tells you exactly where they are. Thin and stiff. I used strips for the U, but will try to cut a one piece U for the next one.
You will need to invest about $10 in an acrylic plastic cutter. Not sure I can drag it enough times on the plexi to go all the way thru before I break it. We will see. Can always CA it back into one piece.
Again Hobby Lobby Translucent plastic portfolio carrier (I believe) for the sliding hatch and the strips under the plexi U. Available in various colors like green, purple, red and blue. Pretty easy to see in the store if you get in the right aisle. That material is floppy but not too floppy.
Skip from Atlanta uses some really nice stiffer and thinner smooth translucent clear plastic sheet for the U and the sliding hatch and other 3 pieces. I will have to ask him the source when he reappears. Very much looking forward to that day.
