Description
Thought that I would stop hovering and get involved - this is my Christmas holiday project! Currently waiting for the postman to drop off my electronics kit. Opted to cut body from 5mm cast acrylic (PMMA) as 5mm ply is a not in use in the UK (4mm and 6mm aplenty though!). Quite pleased with the blue glow :)

Instructions
One or two of the tabs had to be sanded to fit into the slots, as there is always the binary fail factor with acrylic! A couple of issues still to resolve with the build platform as the magnets do not push into the slots and the linear bearing that I sourced in the UK (to fit 8mm precision shafts) are too tight in the X & Y stages - time for a bit of reaming I think.

Looks great so far! Check out thing:1350 for a potential solution for your magnetic coupling using acrylic. It seems to work pretty well for me.
