Marking this work in progress until it is fully built.
UPDATE 10-20-2012:
It is up and running (no longer in progress). Ended up using particle board for the side pieces for extra stability from added weight. The acrylic was too flimsy.
Instructions
scad is documented if you need to adjust for different electronics ect.
Same scad file is used to create the top and base. A switch is used at the top of the file to indicate type.

Hi Rusty,
Thanks for the great job. I take it this setup allows for a 20mm*20mm / 8"x8" build area.
I am looking for a way out for those of us without access to a laser cutter. Is there any way to convert the base and top dxf files to "life-size" (multipage A4) pdf files? With those pdf's we would be able to use the (taped together) A4's as a 'glue-on' template for cutting and drilling.
Thanks in advance for thinking this over,
Hendrik
This is the "standard" Rostock layout. IE, this gives you an approximate 9 inch circle of printable area. Basically you can print every where on the print bed except the corners.
As far as printing them out, I used a DXF to PDF converter and used the "poster print" option of the PDF view and taped the 4 pages together to test the layout before I had it sent to a laser cutter.
The program I used was Acme DWG Converter. Use Batch Convert -> Batch transform by scale.
