You've been busy! :)

The stuff you've been working on looks great!

Here's a tip - if you enable Ironing in Cura, it will give you a very 
smooth surface on the top layer of the fuel selector panel.  With a smooth 
surface you can use a white (or whatever color) paint pen to color the top 
surface of the lettering.  It'll save you having to swap filament and it 
looks pretty good.

BTW, I've recently cleaned off my electronics bench in my office and found 
my stash of 6mm stepper motors.  Remind me the next time you stop by and 
I'll send some home with you.
