ATTENTION: The fine folks over at DIYLILCNC currently have a kickstarter up for Version 2 of the DIYLILCNC project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chrisreilly/diylilcnc-20-open-source-plans-for-a-low-cost-cnc
They're looking to meet the funding goal by Tuesday Aug 23. Support them if you can.
The downloadable file here is more than likely outdated and I strongly recommend you check out
http://diylilcnc.org to find the most recent version of this open source CNC machine.
I'll leave this copy of the files up for an general example of nesting parts.
--------
Full set of laser cut MDF parts for the DIYLILCNC Version 1.0.2
Website for DIY LIL CNC: http://diylilcnc.org/
-Parts nested onto a total of 7 P3 sheets.
-No part names are included to lower the cost as much as possible. All the positioning arrows and marks remain.
Material: This set of files should fit the 0.25 inch MDF from the US hub. Further testing is needed to be sure.
Cost Breakdown:
Making:$291.97 (@ $1.35 per minute)
Materials:$61.46 (7 P3 sheets of 0.25 inch MDF)
Prime: $39.00 (lowers per minute to $1.35 from $2)
Shipping $0
-------
Total: $392.43
Some Remaining Tasks:
-Setup up a small sample file for people to test fitting prior to ordering parts.
-Setup version which contains all part names etched. Although smaller font than in the current .ai
-Setup version that etches small numbers onto parts instead of names.
