Building a Frog Game - How to create slots in panels/divisions|Page 3|Forum|WOOD DESIGNER

Hi Manuel, if your cnc supplier needs the project nested on the panel as described, you would need to purchase the CabinetFile Optimised service. This would cover redesigning to meet his specifications too. All the best, Stefan
Hi guys,
This is version 2 of my Frog Game. I’ve designed it to use less plywood & to look more like the traditional south american “Sapo” game:
Could you please provide cutting lists, dxf files, etc. for the new attached project.
Also if I wanted to get the following, which CabinetFile service service would I need to purchase?
- Provide dxf file in 2d format for 18mm panels laid out (nested) on sheet size of 2400 x 1200 (18mm thick plywood). I would only need the 18mm plywood divisions/panels laid out for the CNC machine:
- Taking into account lay out for milling bit diameter of 8mm, but minimum is 9mm for the machine to register the shape. Spacing between each shape is minimum 22mm.
- Revise project for easy manufacturing
Cheers,
Manuel

Hi Manuel, the CabinetFile Pro service comes with part by part 2D DXF files. You can buy this here: https://wooddesigner.org/membe…..discounts/
The rebates and grooves can be extended to compensate for the mill radius (all rebates will have to be at least 6mm sticking from the piece). We can work through this as part of the Pro service.
It also sounds as if the CNC guy wants the files nested or maybe cutting optimised onto a sheet. For this we need to know:
1. the sheet sizes (got) and thickness (18mm?)
2. whether the parts are nested or cut (although it sounds more as if he’s asking for nesting but better to confirm)
3. milling bit diameter
If he won’t do the optimisation himself and needs you to do it, we’ve also got available the CabinetFile Pro Optimized service which is an extra £50.
All the best, Stefan
Thank you Stefan 🙂
I’ve sent the files over to a company with a CNC machine to get a quote for cutting the plywood and this is what they say:
“Holes and rebates are no problem as long as they’re bigger than 8mm in diameter. I’ll need you to resend the dxf file in 2d format and all pieces laid out on sheet size of 2400 x 1200. I can’t give a quote till I have all pieces laid out. All rebates will have to be at least 6mm sticking from the piece, otherwise because the bit is round, you will have a little round bit leftover on the corners.”
How can I convert the dxf file to 2d format with all the pieces laid out?
What is he talking about when he says “All rebates will have to be at least 6mm sticking from the piece”?
Please advise,
Manuel

Hi Manuel, here are your files. All the best, Stefan
Hi guys,
I’ve gotten some quotes on getting the plywood cut to size, but it’s too expensive having all different thickness panels. So I’ve changed the design to only have 18mm thick plywood.
Could you please provide cutting lists, dxf files, etc. for the new attached project (I’m using polyboard version 6.01k)
Thank you,
Manuel
