Here is a thought.

You can do your block without so many layers by using a 1/2" Lexan top. Lexan is extremely strong & in this thickness you could drill the center inlet hole approx. 3/10" then use just a dremel to cut a slit (a small sliting blade would of course be best.) up from the bottom side connecting to the drilled hole. The drilled part could be threaded if you wish. Better would be to just epoxy in a short Cu Or SS tube, much thinner walled.

Then do the outlets by drilling them and threading or epoxying in tubes.

Would look a bit cleaner, and save one layer you then need to seal.

I do like this type of block. Not to hard to make and very effective.

Good luck.
