Hello all I am building a weecade and going to be ordering my plexi today for the marque. Cp and bezel. But I can't find the plexi measurements anywhere.. can anybody help me with these. I am building from Koenig design.. and also what thickness plexi should I use

I'm interested in seeing responses to this as my build is going to start soon as well -- iirc many people use 1/8" thickness on top of their 5/8" wood to get the 3/4" total. However, don't take my word for it, and let the cabinet masters tell you.

On the control panel I order a 36"x 18" x 1/8 thickness and after I drill the holes for the buttons I sandwich the Plexiglas down by using a few buttons to hold it in place and also a couple of clamps as well. For the marquee as far as the length goes, it just depends on the size cab you're going with. Thickness though I go with 1/4 inch for the back side and 1/8 inch for the front. I get my Plexiglas from estreet plastics. Great prices, and they have alot of colors to chose from. You should check them out online. Hope this helps, and good luck with the build!

Yeah I am about 5 days off from ordering my plexi for the weecade. Just depends on the size of the cab.
Make sure you measure once and twice and about five times more to be sure.
Oh and I would get a duplicate set in case you mess it up. ;D
