I know y they are needed, but would puttin my layer 2 from the design b4 on with slightly bigger channels do the same job, any 1?

No need to for holes in the top. Just make the base about 1/2" thick. Also don't solder the top on. Use 4 bolts and use RTV silicone to seal it if you can't make an O-ring groove. Use Poly if possible, if not use 3/8" or 1/2" Plexi for the top. Check my lemon Block Cu thread out here:

it is of the same concept but milled instead of drilled. That block works very well. I got it at 4C over the maze 4 which would put it up there with the best commercial blocks. I got a revision of this in the works that should increas performance some. Also check out my King Pin block here:

I am testing this block now. So far it is doing very well also.
