Quoted from kray37:Yes! It is same, and only material(white translucent acrylic) that is translucent for this application just as original! This material is also more expensive than the clear acrylics as other toppers and ramps are formed from. Another reason why no one has reproduced this yet.
Sorry guess I shoulda explained that in first post.
An FYI, ramps and other toppers are not formed with acrylic. Acrylic is way too brittle to be used for ramps, for toppers like this it's not an issue of course because it's not an item that gets beat up by the ball.
Good work, these are really needed!
Quoted from kray37:They are vacuum thermoformed!
Oh I assumed they were clear acrylic, I stand corrected then! Are they just another ABS type plastic or polystyrene maybe?
ABS or HIPS (styrene) is not available in clear. PETG is the plastic of choice. Be careful vacuum forming these, you will get an thinning of the plastic because of the draw. These were originally done using injection molding so that the light would be defused consistently throughout. They look good, thanks for making them!!
