Favorite online sources for "GF ready" materials

(If there is already a post for this, I welcome a link…but I couldn’t find a comprehensive list/database, just mentions scattered throughout numerous posts…)

These are my fav sites for GF-ready materials, but I wanted to see what others are using!

Emphasis on already cut down to fit the Glowforge (preferably bigger than 12x12 but no bigger than 12x20)…I don’t have the tools, time, or interest to cut down larger pieces unless it’s leather/leatherette.

https://www.jdsindustries.com/ - leatherette, misc.
https://www.jpplus.com/ - leatherette, misc.
https://craftcloset.com/ - wood, acrylic
https://www.etsy.com/shop/MODFYbuild - acrylic

I haven’t purchased from https://www.etsy.com/shop/worldbazaar47 for leather yet but they seem to have a good selection…

What are your fav sources for ready-to-Glowforge materials?

This topic has come up so many times that I incorporated it into the big frequently asked questions post that I maintain. Check out number 1a, it’s got a bunch of different sources and includes links to other round ups of materials, there’s a particularly good one for acrylic in there.

You are missing out if you haven’t checked out printed acrylic suppliers like Smokey Hill Design, GS2 Awards, and Little Sweet Pea. You can easily find their web sites.

I get most of my woods and acrylics from GS2 Awards.
