You can probably pick up a piece of acrylic on ebay for about $10 a foot plus shipping.
You might want to check around for clear mailing tubes if you want a lighter weight and cheaper option.
So a 3inch payload section means you'll be using BT-70 for the airframe? Sounds cool!

I'd strongly suggest using ANYTHING but ACRYLIC plastic. Acrylic plastic is simply to brittle for use on model rockets even as payload sections.
Polyethylene or Polycarbonate would make far better choices. McMaster-Carr Clear Polycarbonate, 3" OD, 2-7/8" ID 1/16" wall #8585k68 sold in 1 foot minimum lengths.,
