Default Re: Joining polycarbonate /Perspex panels to make a case?

You might consider folding the acrylic sheet to save some mechanical construction work. A hot-air gun, with suitable shielding* of the parts you don't want heated, will allow you to make folds in the stuff.
* a couple of lengths of timber, set either side of the fold point, will prevent the heat getting where it shouldn't. The folds so created will naturally have a radius, dependent upon the thickness of the acrylic.
