After building two rc subamrines, one mostly out of wood and other entirely 3d printed, I am planing to build a proper wtc with a clear tube and 3d printed end caps. It will be a piston tank system similar to the ones from R & R model engineering.
The thing is that my local plastics suplier has three materials, acrylic/methacrylate, policarbonate, and clear pvc. They cut acrilic and clear pvc to any length, but with policarbonate you must buy at least 2 meters.
Does someone know wich material is better for a wtc and any place to get them cheap online?
The measures I need are: > 90mm diameter 500mm length 3mm thickness
> 60mm diameter 500mm lenght 3mm thickness
