Why do you need 4 plates to cover a single hole?
Also why not patch it with something like epoxy?

I used kydex and abs cement to patch a similar hole.

well i like to have extras and only really need one of each
i have kydex but its super thin
one piece is meant to cover up the switch hole and the smaller hole while the shorter plate was only meant to cover up the small hole
Should t be able to patch it with the abs cement

i want it to look clean… mabye some m2 screws with a nut to hold the plate in
@psychotiller any suggestions? what do you use to patch your enclosures or do you just ditch em and make a new one
I would fill it with epoxy you could put Kydex on the inside and then fill it with epoxy using the kydex as a backing
i 99% sure im gonna mess up doing that.

Don’t have a Dremel
A straight edge and a box cutter is all you need man
Take a few solid passes then crack it off. Sometimes old school is the best way

Dontz have that either… pretty sure stores don’t let amateurs buy blades anyways, the last time i checked
But thanks for the advice anyways, im gonna stick to my original plan as printing a flat piece of plastic shouldnt be that hard or time consuming.
