    @ALXAndy unfortunately these things happen all the time all over the world. A friend of mine (here in Italy) saw the postman leave his brand new smartphone ON the letterbox, which is shared with every other apartment in his condo. And in theory the postman has to make you sign the delivery. Simply terrible

    Little update for you guys this time.  This shows the mounting system used for the side panels, magnets!  These little things pack a serious punch and hold the build together.
     

     
     
    Popped everything inside, was rather relieved to find that I had placed the mounts int he right places

     
     
    I know everybody uses these, but damn I love the look of vandal resistant switches.  They also have a very pleasing clunk to them.

     
     
    Given I eyeballed the fit for the magnets, I must admit I'm pretty happy with how the sides lines up.  I was worried to hell that there would be one side that's really wonky or something.

     
     
    And when this happened:

     
    Well...

    Possibly, most printing shops (heh, imagine saying that even 5 years ago) offer FDM services (the kind used by makerbots etc.). A quick google search should come up with a fair few results though, just look for SLS Nylon, it's a fair bit more costly however.
     
    UPDATE!
     
    Thought I'd show the different woods I considered for this project.  Originally I wasn't sure which to go for, so I picked up some burr maple, burl walnut, curl mahogany and burl vavona veneer sheets.  Personally I love all of them, but they're also not all suitable for the small scale of this project.  Close up, the vavona was definitely the most striking of the selection, so I decided to continue with that one.  I'll be French polishing the wooden centre, so the deep patterns will really pop.  I also fully sanded and primed up the sides so that they are completely smooth.
     
    All smoothed down prior to priming.  Went from 80 through to 1200 grit. 

     
     
    Primed up and ever smoother than before, stopped again at 1200 grit to help paint adhesion.

     

     
     
    Love how the whole thing is powered by this dinky laptop charger.

    This simply looks amazing close up, so incredibly alien, a bit like the creep from Starcraft.
