:) come on guys u should know this.

Of course it's possible. It won't melt. You could get it from a DIY shop, though working with it (i.e. drilling holes) could be difficult for you to do at home

there are special saws to use with those: dremels are NOT smart to use UNLESS you have a blade SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for acrylic

bow saws work well :)

Just a regular handsaw works. Just let the weight of the saw do work as you cut. Don't press.

You can get acrylic at large home centers like Home Hardware.

if you want to just make a circle in the acrylic for a fan then you can buy a wholesaw for your drill, but get one designed for acrylic.

That's a holesaw.
