Thickness is where we lose all plywood moisture stability with the stacked option. 8 layers, 3mm thick = ~24mm thick, or a little less than 1". As I posted earlier, between someone living in a desert, and someone living in a wet tropical area, the latter may have a case almost 1/16" or 1.5mm thicker than the desert person.
Is there another material we could use that can be laser-cut but doesn't have problems with dimensional stability?
Acrylic is the obvious answer to this question. Though I'm quite sure the plywood's potential z dimensional stability issues can be worked around...
That sounds a orders of magniture more practical than what I thought of -- Aluminum dioxide sinter ceramics. That stuff can *only* be achined by laser. And it's a great insulator.
