I can help with this. I've got a mini-machine shop in my basement in
Milford. The drill press is only a benchtop, but it sounds like you
don't have anything very big going on.

One possible difficulty is the fact that this is acrylic. Acrylic melts
if you try to cut or drill too fast. I can slow my spindle speed down,
but I'm not sure how slow it goes. We should practice on some scraps if
you have any.

Also, drilling into the edge could be problematic if you need to make a
box out of the pieces. I have an angle plate we can set up on if needed,
depending on some factors. From your description, it's a whole pattern
on the "flat side", though.

I didn't know about the Banana Pi. Seems pretty neat and so does this
cluster thing.
