Agree with Julien, vacform it for a better edge profile
That may be a good route to go. Though I don't have a vacuum-former.
Wonder if there is a "poor man's" method to vac-forming? To create this shape, would I really need the "vac" element, or with enough heat, do you suppose the styrene may just take the dish shape due to gravity?
that acrylic does look a bit wonky donkey!
Its weird - note how the ground area varies in width. This entire ground area is flat and hence flush with my "sanding board". The portion that is optically clear (unscathed) is where the acrylic begins to "dish" in shape.
Though the ground area varies in width, the inner diameter of the ground area seems to be constant. So, yeah... There is some wonky geometry at play.
