Simple slot together shelving for display of a Rubik's Cube type puzzle collection.

Prototype 1

replacing a simple shelving system made from CD cases
- too brittle
- too fiddly
- hard to clean
my first real use of the new A0 laser cutter at the Hackspace
using various offcuts from the bulk red acrylic available at the Hackspace
picture rail for support
- profile for the picture-rail on the prototype seems to work OK
it looks rather gross - a sort of 70's cheap and nasty!
- I think it must be a combination of the red acrylic and my overuse of Bézier splines
- the next version will be a simpler and blockier design
- also I will be using clear acrylic to make the shelves themselves less obvious

Next version: -

Idea: Making for other people
