PS: This has also given me some ideas about how a practical playspace could be constructed!

Here's a first-sketch look at what I was thinking:

Obviously I need to also include support struts, labels, and such; I probably also need to increase the vertical clearance, and it probably could benefit if I change the tray colors to black, white, and grey.

As it currently stands, with 1" squares it's 5'9" across and 5'4" wide. I may be able to reduce the former measurement with a little rearrangement (like changing the side Faces to a vertical relationship), but that's roughly the size I was expecting.

As I say, it's not impossible to do, and an interested party certainly could put one together. I'm not ruling out doing it myself, if only for a demo setup at C3 Game Con -- that, or another large 3D setup that I haven't posted yet... or maybe even both.
