This might be the best method of construction for small shop makers. Heat and vacuum form the font lens as a curved plane. Print the support form that interfaces the lens to the back housing. Glue those two parts together. Then that assembly can clip to the housing.
That is a great idea, the lens does not to have to be too thick. Polycarbonate (Lexan) is an ideal lens material and what they are now I believe.
