CAD Concept revised


Revised CAD.
I've thinned the extrusion down from 2 to 1.5mm.
The join holes at the end's of the previous concept didn't match the light weighting holes in the extrusion. I've made the join hoes the same size for aesthetic reasons.
The elimination of the centre join holes will reduce the customisability of the shelving. But this was necessary to make the extrusion look balanced, and also for structural reasons. The thinness in the middle was a concerning weak point.
The reduction in pieces means that the components have now been reduced down to three (and passable variations on the joiner).
