A picture of the other side would be appreciated :) Is it using a caster ball?

Good job making your own board! looks like you also used some plexyglass or such, with custom cutting for the switches. Hand made or what?

Well done :)

I post the side soon.

nope, i didnt use a castor ball for this.I made a stand with acrylic and attached a rubberstopper for friction.

Yes, its hande made / self cut. I use acrylic as an holder for the switches.

Thanks..

Nice job. Why would you want to add friction to your stand? I try to use PTFE to reduce the friction.

Did you ever photograph the other side?

Looks great. Very compact and clean. I would love to see this thing moving.
