Wanted to make a birthday present for a friend who is a big fan of a certain war that’s in the stars. Its a bit tight in places but still looks good just try to make it as big as you can.
What kind of bit did you use to cut this?

I used a 1/8" two flute flat nose endmill.

There are a few big factors to consider when working with acrylic but the biggest I have seen by far is the type of acrylic you use. If you make a thread about it on the forum I would be more than happy to help. I cant give a full comment as they only let you type 300 characters in the comments.

You will have to give me a bit because I just made it out of some scrap that I had in my shop so I will take some measurements.
