From a wood engineering standpoint I'd be in favour of looking into this. By using this method, wood movement with climate becomes negligible, which makes things a good deal easier there.
We're talking about plywood here, and smallish pieces, so I think the climate- induced wood movement will be negligible whatever we choose. Unless you sunk it. ;-)
Length/width, you're entirely correct, and that holds true for significantly larger pieces than we've got here. The laptop needn't worry.
Thickness is where we lose all plywood moisture stability with the stacked option. 8 layers, 3mm thick = ~24mm thick, or a little less than 1". As I posted earlier, between someone living in a desert, and someone living in a wet tropical area, the latter may have a case almost 1/16" or 1.5mm thicker than the desert person.
hmmm.... damnit. the screws will quickly trash the plywood if that's the case. that tells me it's going to have to be a 3d printed plywood hybrid. top bottom left right front back sides slotted into a curved corner arrangement, minimising the amount of 3d printing as much aspossible. arse. let me think about it. ideas anyone
