New UP5 panels

I'm still learning and playing with the printer. Just a quick sidetrack from the locos and layout.
A friend told me that some of his Digitrax UP5 panels got paint on them when he painted his fascia on his modules, as did some of mine.

So I grabbed a panel, took some measurements, sat down with Tinker Cad and came up with a custom faceplate. Took me about three tries to get the holes correct.

I embedded the wording into the panel using Bambu Studio's text option.  Unfortunately, after I started the printing process it dawned on me that I should have added the R as well. So while the panels were printing, I used Tinker Cad to draw up some R's and when done, I glued them to the panel.
