Heidenreich SEQ V4 front panel sizes - confirmation question

[EsotericLabs]

Hello Midiboxers,

as I'm currently making a formulor front panel design, I am looking for confirmation about the exact dimensions of the front panel for a SEQ V4 in the Heidenreich enclosure.  I found:  

• 17 inch x 3U  for the inner panel (w431.8mm x h133.35mm) .
• 1.8mm should be added on all sides for the thinner 'slabs' to click it into the corner profiles of the case. 

Am I correct?

And  - if I want to make a Formulor front panel - should I enlarge the front panel for the 'slab' and dremel it?  Or is it better to stick to exactly 17"x3U and glue on a thin all profile for the slabs?  

Or is the formulor route failure bound altogether and do you strongly recommend to go for a premade aluminium panel?

Please enlighten me!
