what is the best place to have a transparent model airplane canopy printed?

Have you considered vacuum forming? Not sure if PLA or ABS would hold up to that.

amazon.com has a vacuform machine for 100 dollars but in order to do that i would first have to order the canopy shape in solid form from say shapeways to use as the vacuform mold, possibly have to sand it with finer and finer grade sandpapers to make smooth, i was hoping there was a way 3D printing would save me all that trouble.

See if you can locate someone with a Formlabs Form1+ who's willing to take on odd jobs

3D printing a transparent model plane canopy requires odd jobs? i thought 3D printing was really advanced like eyeglasses and stuff?
