Whats are the correct dremel heads needed for the job? Any tips on sanding? I'm just going to leave it raw I think, so no coating or paint. The ends of the oval are what I'm really worried about because it will curve...this is going to be "labor intensive".

And melting = flinging molten plastic all over your unprotected skin...

Yes, of course wear proper safety gear.
Another route (didn't know yours was plastic-wear a respirator for sanding) is after you have the design drawn on you can perforate it along the line with a small drill bit. Shit, after that you could use a coping saw and not have to worry about hot plastic at all.
