Good hobby and art stores will have styrene in various shapes. Most are too "flat" to turn on a lathe reasonably.

sells nylon rods/squares/tubes as short as one foot for very reasonable prices.

Call around the local machine shops and find out who does plastics machining. They often have dumpsters filled with drops

Onlinemetals.com has some plastic assortment packs that seem to be similar to what you are seeking

has sample kits of various sizes of specific types of plastics. Woodcrafts Supply also has assortment kits of UHMW and nylon scraps for low friction jigs.
