Hi!
Is there any specific reason you're using plexiglass instead of normal glass?
I am from Germany and it seems that using normal glass is much cheaper?

Re: Why using plexiglass?
I was going to ask that question.

Plexiglas (clear acrylic sheet) is actually cheaper than glass where I live. It also doesn't cut you when working with it and can be cut, drilled, beveled, and glued pretty easily compared to double-strength glass. You can also drop it and it won't shatter like glass. The downsides of acrylic are that it scratches easily and attracts dust more than glass does.
I typically do prototype work with acrylic and then once I get the design down replace it with custom cut glass.
