Strategically placed tapped (say 6-32) holes - well you get the jest of it.

Thanks, the parts would be 3pc, the rednering doesnt show the part lines very well.. The rear piece has to be plastic as the electircal connections would be made there.

After going to the local hardware store, its gona be about 70 bucks for a 2 3/4 and 3 3/4 hole saw .... Im going to see abou thow much it would cost to SLS the parts. It will probably be between 100 and 200 im guessing. Also going to see if you can waterjet plastic sheets.. that would be slick too.
