I think you must mean thicker, 2 or 3mm is a joke for mounts out of plastic. Chopping boards shatter, try CBC they often have good uhmw offcuts in their outlets at the counter. _________________ ( •_•)

if its for drive mounts i would steer clear of chopping board.. even the stuff sean uses shatters pretty easy. _________________ Barton Robotics Youtube Channel:

Ill try score some 60ton press boards one day from work 20-40mm thick real uhmw aprox 500x900 boards.
They only get tossed tho when there pretty rough each side from the giant cookie cutters cutting into them over and over so you may want to sand them or plane them. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

There was an Australian online store that had Hyperion battery bars for A123 cells. Someone linked to that store for another product, It might have been Brett. I can't find that store, If anyone knows. Thanks. _________________ Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
