Stunning work again. I particularly like that etch, I wish I was as skilled as you doing those etches.

Next time drilling: use a centre punch and start drilling with smaller drill sizes (I usually start with 1.5 or 2 mm) and then go bigger. From 2 to 6 mm works better than starting with 6 mm IMHO. Use new drill bits. Older or less sharp bits tend to drift away. Work exactly perpendicular on the enclosure surface and correct when the bit drifts aside by angling the drill in the opposite direction and straiten again when back at the point where you want the hole. Using a drill press is recommended but not mandatory. I can work with 0.5 mm margins sung just power tools. Good for me, I know  :D but with some patience and care I'm sure you can drill almost perfect. That is, if you want that to be perfect too... You might just not care, cause this finish is already very very cool.

I'm a few days late on this, but what an etch!

Also, come on, no video of the LED meter in action? Hook us up!

Thanks. There actually is a video at the end...
