Final CAD Design of the 4 player deck

Image
 Tools to create deck AutoDesk Fusion 360 Using Fusion 360, shared design with CNC shop providing realtime feedback on cutholes and placement of parts checking for collisions. You can apply for a hobby license from Autodesk, with some limitations, I own the full license so was able to create libraries of models without having to have a limit placed on number of active models (you have to archive off models not in use). Read more here  https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/subscription-types/ CNC Machine Will want to cut this deck out along with possibly duplicating the effort for future projects... will be working on building the following low cost DIY CNC Milling machine: https://docs.v1engineering.com/lowrider/ The LowRider3 is the V1 Engineering version of a CNC router that can handle up to full sheet material! Key Points: Most parts can be 3D printed. To save from shipping or printing large parts the machine can be partially assembled to cut them itself. Easily Removabl

The Design or Idea

 Inspiration Wanted to build a 4 player stand up arcade for sometime since completing the custom made xtension 32" cabinet a few years ago during covid era. 32" Custom Arcade Cabinet Some previous designs that I looked through: Getting to know people... Reached out to a few sellers on ebay who where CNCing their pedestal designs for fare pricing.  Made a few aquantenances and off we went. A little about me with CAM/CAD I have been dabbling with Fusion 360 for a while now building custom PCB board, 3D models replicating actual parts... etc. Some examples: Starting into CAM So I got the bug... and started modeling for flat pack creation of arcade controller decks
