i know its dumb to ask but what is the name of that plastic u used ?

Mattersmasher said...

It's just styrene sheet, but it's also known as Plasticard. You can get it in different thickness, but it's usually A4 paper sized.

and if i remember correctly dont u put it in warm water to bend it ?

Mattersmasher said...

Yes, you can use hot water to soften and bend this stuff. Also holding a soldering iron near it can work, but it's very easy to get that wrong!
