Lexan is a nice material to use. It's pretty cheap, cuts like butta', and where flex is a good thing, is plenty flexible.

I've worked with fiberglass and Garolite G-10 (another material in the "family" of plastics), and the dust particles of both are not good to breathe in. For this reason alone, I plan on not using and material in the fiber composites category, including CF (not to mention, these materials are very rough on cutting/drilling equipment).
