Go to mcmastercarr.com. Enter "honeycomb". You will have to epoxy it to something to keep it level. I used a 1/2" sheet of BB plywood or a sheet of aluminum. Make sure there is no warpage.

You can use Al angle laying on it's side like a pyramid. I use this all the time and it's much cheaper than the honeycomb. I have about 30 pieces that cost me about $40 all up. Just lay it across the table as far apart as you need to.

I am not completely useless.......I can always serve as a BAD example.
This is my 'home made' cutting solution for acrylic parts to avoid reflections spoiling the underside of the part (always makes Viktor smile when I post a picture of this) the base is glass, which absorbs CO2 without reflection and the slats are from an old, metal venetian blind (made a little jig to form them into that shape).

CNC is only limited by our imagination.
I used my laser to cut a plywood frame. The frame sides had curved slots and into these I inserted alu slats out a venetian blind. Cost me less than £20 to make.
