Hi there<br><br>Robokits sells Sintra (thermoplastic) in easier to use sheets that can be cut formed and moulded (boil in water, starts to soften at around 66C).<br><br>Here is some good info on working with Sintra sheets. <a href="http://www.solarbotics.net/starting/200207_sintra/200207_sintra.html">http://www.solarbotics.net/starting/200207_sintra/200207_sintra.html</a><br>

I've discovered that thermoplastics are available in NZ now. If you've
<br>
never heard of the material, its plastic that you can heat in water and
<br>
becomes malleable at 60 degrees. Once you form it into the shape you
<br>
want it cools and then becomes workable (you can drill and cut it
etc)<br><br>

I've ordered some but wondered if anyone had used this stuff before?<br>
