    @Maki role - So I need to ask:Did the acetal warp after cutting it? Or is that from you prying it free off camera. I know brass would warp if surface cut, so I'm kinda curious.

    Little bit of both on that, acetal definitely does like to get a bit funky when you surface just one side that's for sure. Luckily I was expecting it so did the cutting so that anything that needed dimensional accuracy was done first. Wouldn't be so hot if paired with really thin acrylic on top haha

    Thanks. That's a pretty important thing to know.
