So last night I used the Dremel to make the syringe slots, and with that, the shells are ready for the next step which is finalize the pop-up electronics and build the boards.
Amazingly, I had all the right bargraphs I wanted on hand. Here's a test fit to see what the cavity for the electronics shaped up like. It looks like there is enough room for the plan.
