The temp will get the lexan to distort a lot plus if someone bumps the dome off center then you might have a mess.
Didn't take too long before it was soft to the touch. So you're right in that I'll at least need to cut it out to fit inside. Which will require some extra material to give it some more strength next to the lamp cutout where it's weakest. I was hoping to keep it off the mesh since it doesn't really feel that strong long term to have the lamp camped out on it.

It's a laser. I could get access to a rather large CNC mill if I really wanted to make something out of thick stuff. Ol' Peedy, cause the S sticker got stripped off during the install somehow, isn't very good for anything larger than 27" in length without doing a few finicky tricks.
