Step 22D Design: FAIL! (and then save)
My first mistake was to not triple check my Inkscape design and make sure that all cuts actually joined.
FAIL!
Luckily a rotary tool and engraving bit was able to save the day. Engraving bits eat though acrylic and have a fine point for fiddly work. I was able to cut out the piece, and with a bit of filing, fit it into place. Not pretty, but effective enough for a proof of concept: see the pictures below.
Instruction 2: Triple check your 2D layout! If you can't be bothered: invest in power tools and a file.
