I purchase all mine from My Atomix. They used to be on ebay but now they only sell from thier store. The sizes are not huge, but the are excellent for RC applications.

Professional Plastics, but they are local to me.. Cheapest I found anywhere.. Internet is lame so call them direct if you go that route... They normally cut anything for free, so if you buy a full sheet they can cut it to 12" square (or whatever) and it saves on shipping cost due to size... |

Bakersfield Plastics. They too are local to me and sell 12" square pieces or sheets or remnants. Good prices too.  |

If you are including Delrin in your list of plastics, then I use McMaster. Local pick-up for me keeps the costs down.

You could try a local sign shop. I got some thick acrylic from a local company that machines things from plastic. They sell their scrap by the pound.
