I could use some help in choosing the material, such as Plexi or Lexan.

Hi Rick,

Lexan has a higher melting point than Plexi. Therefore it's easier to drill
or cut. Plexi tends to stick to the drill bit once it becomes hot. Lexan is
more robust from a mechanical point of view, while Plexi tends to break. So
if you have both available I think Lexan is the better choice.

Lexan, being polycarbonate, is much tougher than Plexiglass, which is
acrylic. Ploycarbonate is used in everything from RC car bodies to
soft drink bottles to bullet-resistant windows in aircraft.
