Plastic:
If your building a cnc machine and need to get some cheap plastic fast to make some part for it, you can go to Target or other deptartment store and buy 1/2" thick white plastic cutting boards in the kitchen section. That stuff is indestructable, yet easy to work with. Perhaps not the cheapest stuff you can find, but in a pinch it works great.
Pseudo-Metal Epoxy Putty:
Also,you can go to Home Depot and in thier plumbing section find some pseudo metal epoxy. It's called "Oatey - Epoxy Putty". Steel filled, mixes in your hand, hardens like steel in minutes. It's very cool stuff. You can shape it like you want in your hand cause it's like putty and in a few minutes it gets really hard. It's sandable also! Sticks to just about everything. Excellent stuff.
Anyone else got some tips?
