Acrylic and plexi are the same thing, I think you were thinking of polycarbonate which would be a much better choice than the former two. Also why aluminum? Copper would be much better to use.

Another thing you may want to look at is making the base larger as a lot of high power TECs are 62mm wide. If you already own a 50mm tec then I guess thats not a problem then.

Also would it be possible to make pins or at least thinner fins, or is your machine unable to do that? More, and thinner, fins/pins would make the block more effective.
