Here are some images of prototyping and beginning to make the surface pieces I'll be showing at the Tarble Art Center:
Once I settled on a style of connector that worked I spent some time on the CNC. I started with a 1/8" bit but they kept breaking so I changed my programming to use a 3/16" bit that worked much better. I don't have it perfected, the pieces still need a bit of clean-up after they are router and I have to sand off the tabs that keep them from flying off the table. The 1/8" plex warped like crazy during the routing so I had to keep full thickness tabs and carefully place screws to hold it down.
