without laptop to expose construction



All parts are ZNAP (other than a few Technic Pins). Mostly these parts...

18x 32206 Znap Beam 9, 5 Holes, 4 Bends (Half-Octagon) (various colors)

20x 32213 Znap Grid 9 x 7, 15 Holes (various colors)

20x 32203 Znap Beam 7, 3 Holes (various colors)

5x Zbb014 Znap Connector 1 x 3 - 2 way A (light Gray)

42x Zbb013 Znap Connector 3 x 3 - 4 way B (Beam) (purple)

2x 32246 Znap Beam 8, 4 Holes, 3 Bends, Curved (I used yellow)

4x 4459 Technic, Pin WITH Friction Ridges Lengthwise (black, holds side arms)

The space below the bottom also provides handy space to store pens and pencils.
