I'm looking for someone that has a MakerBot or access to a rapid prototyping machine to make some simple thin plastic prototypes for me and take payment in bitcoin.  Let me know what you would charge.

Are these something 2d that could be run  a cnc laser?(you say thin plastic i realise rapid prototyping is usually 3d)

It would take a little away from the design but could still work i think.  Can you cnc plastic thats 2/10 inch thick?

could yes, have no. 2/10 is a bit of an odd size normal sizes to have on hand are 1/16 1/8 and 1/4(slightly thicker than 2/10 at .25 inches)

Possibly I might be able to cut these out of 1/4" stock and sand off 0.05 inches with a 48" sheet sander. That is, if you think you'll need enough to fill a sheet.

1/4" would work fine, just if I was doing rapid prototyping you usually pay per cubic inch of material and it only needs to be 2/10 thick

As Deslok says, 0.2" is not going to be available typically. Although 0.2" = 5.08mm, so maybe 5mm metric would work.

Send a drawing & quantity, I can make up a quote for you.
