The 3/8" plexiglass is was milled on my “extended and improved” v1 shapeoko. Its more like a v2 actually. We used the 660 dewalt router. It turned out very nicely. It was all driven by tinyg and #tgfx using #http://makercam.com for the gcode cam generator. This printer is @Jason_Smith 's btw. It turned out very very nice.

Some pics of the Eustathios plexiglass parts.
What Feed and Speed settings did you use to cut the plexiglass? What diameter bit? How many flutes?
@Jason_Smith can you get @William_Adams the info about the flute. I think it was 500 - 600 mm using tinyg We were taking 1mm plunge rates however it was more like 1.75mm passes as I forgot I upgrade to an acme Z lead screw. The bit was $17 on amazon. We can find the link. It was also a 4 flute bit.
@William_Adams @Jason_Smith cannot post until hes approved hehe. I was wrong it was a 2 flute. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P4JM4Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#productDetails
And yes 600mm was the feedrate.
Full speed? (no speed controller used?) There was no melting?
No speed controller. It did not melt.
Thanks! I’ve added that to the ShapeOko wiki on the Materials (Feeds and Speeds) page — we didn’t have a solid entry for plexiglass.
