If I was really nit-picking I'd suggest countersinking the front panel screw holes so the fixing head was flush.
Taste Phil, the bolts were a deliberate choice.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I sent them a .step file, Simon. I used Fusion 360 to generate it, available for free for personal use.

Something else to learn Ray! I couldn't see any prices on the website, unlike pcbs, looks like you have to upload a file. What sort of money are they wanting? Could be very handy...

The price will depend on the size and what material you choose. The panel on the VFET is a nylon material and it cost around £40 including shipping.

I hollowed out the back side of the panel to reduce the amount of material to be used in printing it, which reduces the cost.
