Head Plate DIY

I made a head plate out of acrylic on a laser cutter, then painted it black.

I tried attaching the drawing file, but the site doesnt recognize .dwg or .dxf files so here is a rough dimensioned drawing.

I like it plain, it would look too busy with engraving. If anything, I would throw flat black decals on it like my lid
