Build is coming along. I've cut the layers on the laser-cutter and glued the sections together. I opted to use glue rather than a mechanical fixing like I have in the past due to the stepped sections and to create a seamless design. The screen and Pi assembly is held from the rear on the 4th layer via the four mounting screws so can still be removed from the laminated layers. The final rear I/O layer will be held at the four corners with self-tappers.

Visualising before glueing

I'm using two super bright white LEDs in parallel on each leg, which I ground down (I have 5mm in my bits box) then hot glued into the acrylic layer.
