kelvinAContinuing on my research, I've discovered corrugated plastic due to this.
Coming in white and black variants, it seems that I can get panels large enough for the SecSavr for just a little extra than the acrylic panels for my Hexadecibel enclosure for the Anycubic Linear Plus. As there will be nozzle cameras installed and I'm both looking for ways to isolate sounds (milling is very loud and I don't think there are transparent soundproofing solutions) and easy cleaning, I'm more than fine with opaque solutions.
[Update]
I did a bit more looking around just because 4mm may be a tad thin for the size I want to cover, and I found polycarb sheets which look pretty nice:
and the description sounds even better:
The polycarbonate sheets can be had in either 10 or 16mm, but there are no opaque options other than the somewhat cheap looking Opal. The panels are also more expensive, but I might save in terms of sound and thermal insulation costs.

The comments in your first link mention lifespan concerns with corrugated plastic. The polycarb sheets at least claim to be good in that metric, so that's reassuring. That's an interesting look with the translucency and being able to see the internal structures. I don't want that for any current projects, but I can imagine projects where that's better than either transparent or opaque.
