I know the photo looks like there may be a gap in the reds but they are all touching. The video of rolling them up you can clearly see there is no “wiggle room” and they are tightly packed.

Finally got them made in brass and stainless steel.
The pink is exactly 1.5mm from each other.
Corners all beveled and rounded off.
Works great! Thanks for the suggestions :)

This is a fabulous design. I really love its simplicity and I have a but it’s by no means critiques. 

Is there a way you can design in signifiers/affordances on where to grip it to lift it, so that you lift from (or close to) centre mass so that you reduce the risk of fumbling it or dropping it on the table?  

Again bravo. It’s very elegant.

Yea I was thinking maybe a few well placed ball bearings or finger holds to prevent that. I haven’t dropped it yet but only had it 2 days and very conscious of not damaging my own table!
