As you can see in the picture, I have a bit of a problem....
Anybody CAD these before to put in binding posts? I really need to learn and buy a 3D printer, but just don’t have the time to these days. Eventually!

IMO you're making things too difficult. I'd probably just cut a piece of sheet steel or aluminum to size, or maybe FR4 board, then drill holes where appropriate and use binding posts with insulated screws (you could use standard binding posts with the FR4).

Ha you're no fun! You're right, I should just get some fiberglass board, but I was wondering. I also don't really have the best cutting/drilling tools.

Ta-da!

Those look like they belong.

Nicely done. What sort of material did you end up using?

Got a 8x4 sheet of HDPE from Menards. Pretty easy to cut and work with, but very solid when installed.

Nice work. Oddly, this ended up on my bench today. Ima do what you did.
