I’ve noticed the Glowforge store is out of most acrylic colors right now, and particularly 1/4" options.
Where are folks finding 1/4" acrylic that’s pre-cut to 20x12"?
I’m having trouble sourcing it online, everything seems to be 1/8"
Many thanks!

Not much for 20x12. More 12x12 or 24x12

I wasn’t paying attention to this bit on the first pass.
24” x 12” is a common size and, I have bought some of that. It is very easy to cut it to fit with a utility knife, straight edge and table edge. I measure 4” from one of the appropriate ends, score as deeply as I can with a pass or two of the utility knife, then snap the piece off over the edge of a table.
I use a steel safety ruler like this because I like not cutting my hands with razor knives:
Then it fits in the Glowforge.

Professional plastics will cut to size. If it were me I’d ask for 19.5x12. 20 is a tight fit, I wouldn’t want them to be just a bit too wide.
