Hello

I would say sorry for my English it's foreign for me. If you will find mistakes or typos please let me know))

Prepare Base for Our Busy Board

In the attachment you could find the scheme for laser cutting from 3 mm and 6 mm plywood.

We have only these plywood and for taking 12 mm we should cement it from several pieces.

Use the cord instead of the wire it will be more comfortable for the child. Use the hot glue for fixation in the plug.

Some elements (for example some buttons) does not have holes for fastening to the board. Drill them and fasten the back side of the element to the board. For assembling with the face side of the element use the hot glue.
