The top layer, where the lights and buttons were mounted, had more wires than the bottom layer. I ran an eight-conductor bundle for the yellow switches. Then I ran single strands for the white player-select buttons. I added another signal wire for the lights and one more for the MIDI input. Power and ground joined the group.
I fastened all the layers on carriage bolts with nuts to space them out. The top layer had square holes to keep the carriage bolts from rotating. Cutting square holes on a laser cutter was a breeze.
The bottom layer should help to reinforce the structure and hide the transparent plastic layer. I could add walls at some point since the power supply should not generate lots of heat.
The rest of the posts for this project have been arranged by date.
