May be manageable with sandpaper too, so long as you can get a good grip on it for doing the long edge sanding. Not quite ideal, but easy to get an approximate fit by beveling the interior edge a bit. |

Check out RC model shops. They have plenty of this kind of material. |

RS used to stock this (in red). I am sure I still have a small bit from 30 years ago. |

I bought these for a similar purpose... instrument lens replacements. https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Transparent-Filter-Sheets-Flashlight/dp/B01K9OA1IW The listing says they are "gels" but they are not. These are not acrylic but probably PET or something similar. They are roughly 0.3 to 0.4 mm thick, but are quite stiff enough for a display lens. The individual sheets have a protective film on both sides to prevent scratches prior to use. The pack includes a variety of colors (including orange) and each sheet is about 30x30 cm so plenty big enough to make many lenses per sheet. I had also bought some actual lighting color gels but they were very thin and were definitely not optically clear enough to use as a display color filter (they blur the display too much). |
