I screwed up too because i thought i could just mount all the components to 5mm wood. Turns out it was way too thick. Had to cut a 3mm piece and screw it on the back to mount everything.
@Grahad2 - this was my first attempt at laser cutting something. MDF is the worst. Thanks for the tape idea. I usually do sanding anyway.
I also dont make the joints flush and instead let them protrude out a bit. Then cut off the excess with a handsaw or router so its flush with the surface. I dont see any burned edges when I do that.
Yeah I did quite some bit of laser cutting in my Uni days and I hated doing anything that relied on the laser burning. Acrylic might need more ventilation but I'm sure as heck happy that there's no black ash getting everywhere.
