Back in February, I shared my first foray into physical design after decades working in software. I was touched by the positive feedback I received, plus the great advice and learnings from commentors.

One thing which really stuck with me was hearing about 'color material finish' from u/Schuylabs. I went away to learn more about this concept, and iterated. This led to a sharper, cleaner look, with flush fixings, better LED diffusion, and two new finishes.

So now I have versions in white acrylic and stainless steel, birch plywood and brass, and mahogany stained birch and brass.

I've also experimented with laser etching of the wood, as seen in the photos. Not entirely convinced that I have that element correct yet.

Which one do you prefer?
