Very cool!  fantastic etch, didn't realize how much I missed access to a laser until just now.

For the acrylic, would the switches and knobs be mounted only to the underlying enclosure and not physically touching the acrylic (due to carefully oversized holes)?  Wondering about cracking....

The hardware mounts to aluminum enclosure from the bottom and the acrylic plate from the top.  You'd have to really over tighten to crack the acrylic.

Anyone else totally in awe of the tiny bits of heat shrink managing the wire runs?  Silly attention to detail.

Yes!  At first glance, I even thought the gut pic was pre-wiring.  Very neat and tidy.

Amazing all around.  That reverse etch really caught my eye!  Where Doug you buy your pieces of acrylic and do you recommend a particular thickness?

I usually get them from either McMaster Carr or Delvie's Plastics.  You'll want to use 1/16" thick acrylic.  Anything thicker than that and you won't be able to screw down the nut on the potentiometers.  Even with 1/16", you can't use 9mm pots, but 16mm pots will work fine.
