Hi all. I recently used the pre-christmas special offer from ponoko.com (which unfortunately turned out to be way more expensive than expected due to german taxes/customs) to realize insets for a case. The case itself is from a 300-chips poker set and was quite cheap actually :) The inset itself is made from two sheets of acrylic plastic that have trapezoid holes to hold the pyramids. They hold the pyramids quite well, but since the "3mm" sheets from ponoko currently actually are 2.5mm it is not as perfect as I planned it - if I ever do a reiteration of that stuff I would make the holes a bit bigger, since now the smallest pyramids are a little bit loose. I also would get rid of the lower sheet, since it does not add much benefit, as long as the upper sheet is mounted with a bit of distance to the actual bottom of the case. If you're curious: photos are available here: http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/icestore-case.jpg http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/icestore-filled.jpg and the raw sheets look like this: http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/icestore-peeled.jpg (It actually is not practical to have the zendo stones loosely in the case - I use a small bag now) If you were to redesign that stuff - what would you change? Is there interest in having the EPS file readily available at ponoko.com? Thanks for your input, Simon -- simon@xxxxxxxx http://simon.budig.de/
