Custom CD Player

WORKING — V2 PLANNED

An attempt at making a to-scale version of the Minecraft Jukebox that actually works: insert a CD into the top and it plays music. It does.

Two improvements are planned: replacing the crude plywood walls with a lasercut housing, and better drivers for the whole system. After that, the companion piece — a separate scale model of the Minecraft bookshelf block, to hold the CDs.
