Much faster and neater now.

USE PLENTY OF VENTILATION.

I drill through multiple sheets as melting melts them together then melt them out but still a slow process and found drilling always left a burr that had to be cut off.

I like using a laser cutter.

I used the 10mm hole punch out of this set from Bunnings. The 10mm worked perfectly for my 12mm Pixel nodes. Nice and snug with little chance of coming out easily.

Necessity is the mother of invention. We all have our ways based on what we have and what we know... but can always learn by sharing.

I like the punch idea as this should leave a fairly tidy hole

I just use a spade drill bit works fine for me and better for my health

I use a forstber bit, for all my plastic drilling needs. Works great.

12mm holesaw bit, cuts nicely and cleanly - just be mindful of drilling too near the edges of corflute and that if you don't have a drill press, using a handheld drill will get a little tiring after 50 or so holes.

I got one of these https://www.bunnings.com.au/frost-4-12mm-hss-step-drill_p0170878 step drill bits 12mm. I previously used a standard drill bit and it was a mess with bits left over and unclean. The step bit produced a nice clean hole and being 12mm it just went right through, reversed it out and the pixel was held nice and snug (it was in polycarbonate though).
