Thankyou guys! Means alot!
Update #12
Marked out the PCBs on a blank PCB sheet
Cut out on the band saw
Printed the PCB layout onto some acetate sheet
This is the UV box. You put the acetate on the PCB (copper side) and stick it in there to cook for 4 minutes. The UV loosens the copper that you want to remove (i.e. the bits that aren't black on the acetate sheet)
After the UV box, you stick it in sodium hydroxide + water solution (10 parts water to 1 part sodium hydroxide). This removes some layer or something (i dont really know lol) but it is essential.
Bubble etch tank. This has ferric chloride in it and removes the copper. The ferric chloride is heated and bubbled.
Bam!
They both came out perfect first time! It's a miracle!

Attached the CD drive to its plate using flooring-grade double sided tape (i managed to stick my shoe to the floor with this stuff and couldnt get it off!)
Perfect fit!
Here is the assembled drive bay. My first time attempting capillary bonding!

Perfect capillary bond
Screwed the two parts together!
