The laser cut faceplates which I had ordered from Ponoko arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, I made a mistake on the design, and the spacing between the holes for the RCA jacks on the back is too small, so they can't fit (or rather, the jacks can fit, but there is not enough room for two cables to be plugged in side by side). :-( And yes, I did measure multiple times before ordering, but I must have overlooked the same issue each time. At least the front plate looks good.

Now I need to figure out what I am going to do about it. I have fixed the design files, so I could of course just order another batch. However given the astronomical shipping cost to Canada (the cutting itself was $8, but the shipping was over $30), I am somewhat reluctant to do that. I may break out my scroll saw and attempt surgery on the existing faceplate; or if nothing else, since the back is the only part with issues, I may be able to just ignore it and make my own (unlabelled) rear faceplate.

Sigh.
