For building robots around the size of an RC car or a desktop computer, I am trying to learn what kinds of plastic would be practical to work with at home. And which methods people here find easiest.
It sounds like for my purposes using either PVC or polystrene for the parts requiring more strenth, such as the sides of an arm, or the chassis of a car, and Coroplast for larger parts and ones that would be curved, like body panels. So the solvent for Polystyrene and PVC is inexpensive? That makes sense, I just though earlier you said that the preperation costs were high, I wasn't sure what you meant by that.
planning on making frames and housings by cutting plastic sheets into shapes, bending them in places, then welding them via some method. I will also drill holes in it and use bolts in places, but almost all plastics allow for that.
I'm trying to keep this practical and fairly cheap. I don't have a huge amount of room or a garage
