I use Plexiglas (remaining from a former project). You could use real glass too, but it would require more skills and tools. Plexiglas is very easy to cut, but will get scratches, eventually.

Just one question about step 4. Did you cut the plexiglass with a Stanley knife and then broke the rest?
How deep did you have to cut?
I just measured... Approx 0.2 mm deep, on each side; it's OK for a 2.4 mm thick plexi.
I'm, glad to hear it's being inspirational. Don't hesitate to make your own designs (so you'd need the ODG format). Keep in mind that my attached docs are in metric units (A4 sheet, grid in cm).
