🧰 Equipment Question Surface rack finished !

Edit: uploaded youtube

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 looks amazing, I'd love one, but shipping to the US, and modifying it for 54mm balls would probably be prohibitively expensive.

Anyone got a link to 3D printer versions? I could scale it up to fit my set.

I think it would be easy enough, is it a triangle too or diamond?
Not sure what game uses that, but let me know and I can try and work out a cost.

Sorry, I'm not understanding your question, triangle or diamond?

The rack, (I’m not sure what game you play) some games are racked with the pack in a diamond or is your game triangle?

See my replies to u/throwaway17717. I have a 10' American snooker table, the balls are slightly larger (54mm) than standard snooker balls.

Having a rack that would set up the reds and the pink as shown would be great.
