It took a long while, efforts, expenses, and a full disassembly of my laser printer but here it is !
The look/aspect is great ! I had some little issues with the size (maybe due to slight resizing somewhere) and there are a few hicups with some mounting screws.
However the toner ink sticks rather well to the vinyl sheet and glueing didn't leave bubbles. The alu face plate can remain (mostly) clean and it adds a lot to the ergonomics :-D
Locating the "right" plastic sheet took a while...
And here it is in all its glory !
All the switches are soldered but the assembly/wiring is not complete, I need to add another board to really get all the signals together. So I created a small board with 16 Glühbirnchen to ease the tests :-)

It's so cool.. But where are encoders here, huh?? :)
Are you sure? yes | no
there are 2 hex encoders behind the middle-right buttons, but yours were too large unfortunately...
Are you sure? yes | no
I'm disappointed.
You should do your assembly panel much bigger to fit the size of the encoders.
Are you sure? yes | no
@Artem Kashkanov Don't worry I'll certainly use your encoders in another project ;-)
Are you sure? yes | no
