I have a friend with a CNC mill who's willing to mill the front panel and front panel board for me at cost (i.e. I provide the aluminum, copper clad board, and pay him for the bits he goes through milling the copper clad board, heh heh). But I don't have a program that will let me design a circuit board for milling like this--so I did it in Front Panel Designer!

I put the image into an image-editing program and filled each of the "traces" with a different color according to their function, mostly to check for mistakes, and partly to help when writing the MBNG config files. But it also looks cool!
