Would love something that goes together with just thumb screws

Start simple and work you way up.

Buy some IPS Weld-On 4 and some applicators and some cheap acrylic sheets. Practice making some basic boxes before you try and do complex ones.

Once you can weld a box together that doesn't look like shit start doing more complex shapes.

Laser cutter makes things way easier, but a dill and jigsaw can still do most things.

Cut out joints and piece them together, like a 3d puzzle

But it's not the 00s?

well how are modern enclosures made?

I've never worked with acrylic before but could a poorfag just use a dremel and cut acrylic sheet?

Tile cutter + Epoxy + Silicon

Yes but the high temp from the bit will melt it back together as it cuts sometimes. So you have to "recut" it.
After its cut, sand edges with 50 grit, then 200, then 400, then 1,200 then polish with a jewelers wheel on a bench grinder and you can make it as clear as glass.

Buy a cheap laser and cut the acrylic on the cheap. You will need to book a shipping container though. Things are goddamn heavy

You can use wood tools successfully. Trick is to buff the seams and it becomes glass

If you don't need any complex cuts like drastic curves or internal cutouts you can get score the surface with a knife about 1/3-1/2 the depth of the sheet and snap it along the line.

Otherwise yes, a dremel is fine but watch for melting. Use a cold cut blade rather than an abrasive.

Yes. Just use a router. No need to make this complicated.
