Ok, sort of a frustrating day. We got a lot figured out, but we didn't get to finish the units today. The biggest problem we're facing is the bottons. That's a complicated area on the fascia, and is proving maddeningy difficult to machine. Not impossible, just very difficult. We're going to have to order a special tool to do that area, it looks like. We may also be able to solve the problem via 3-axis water cutting. I'll update people as soon as I can.

Honestly, and I hate to admit this, it would really speed things up if someone were willing to offer up the CAD files of the original fascia / handle, or even just the button area. It would reduce the amount of trial and error we have to go through, and would also be worth a free fascia of that kind hearted person's choice.

But, either way, we'll march onward with this.
