I decided to switch gases temporarily, CO2 instead of neon.  I bought one of
the cheap Chinese laser cutters, and plan to swap out the primitive control
board and software for modern ones.  It'll cheerfully cut wood and many
plastics.  And cool housings is one of the reasons I'm doing this!

This option is open to folks without laser cutters too - there are some
commercial services that will do this for you (I've used both Pololu and
Spikenzie with good results), just draft up your file, send it to them, and
they send you the cut pieces.
