[sdiy] Clear panels

[Mike Beauchamp]

Hey Ian,
I've made a lot of control panels using clear plastic. Previously I
used lexan, and it was VERY easy to work with and drill. I wanted to
save some money so I used plexiglass more recently, and ended up
shattering a few panels.

So yeah, my advice is to give Lexan a try if you still find that your
step-up bit cracks panels.

Well, it fell through back then because the drill bits I was using constantly cracked the plex. I got a step-up bit recently and peered at my pile of plex, grabbed a scrap and drilled a couple holes. No cracking this time. There was much joy. So, without further ado, I give you the front panel for a Baby 10 sequencer...
