My most recent project since finally getting my shapeoko running again: A pair of Portal themed book ends.

I cut them out of various colored acrylic at 15 IPM, .02" step down and approx 17K RPM spindle speed using a 1/16" square end mill.

Very nice! And there are some good books there, too.

Too bad I don't need bookends. My bookcases were filled to the brim, double-stacked, and I still had some books in boxes. (Well, they're all in boxes now, because I haven't had a chance to put the bookcases up after we moved.)

Very cool idea!

this is really super cool. With that acryllic, couldn't you add LEDs to the base and even make them light up?
