Ahh yes it was fun building the MechMate, I changed quite a few things because I needed lots more Z axis. Turned out great and works super for 2d and 3d projects. Building a MechMate is not much different than building a Mame machine, funny enough - you have an interface board (usb or parallel port) stepper motor drivers and stepper motors with rack and pinion. The software is easier to configure than some of the mame front ends :)
restless - I have the sides as .dxf files if you want to try them.
so now I have two sides and a bunch of parts, I'm using 2x2's for the internal joiners, I'll get to work on that tomorrow.

w/ the 32" display and the control layout you are talking about, consider not having the control panel stick out past the sides though. its a lot of area and you won't need to spread p1 and p2 that far apart. Either way, looks awesome.

Thanks for the advice Top!, I'll put the cab together and then lay out the cpanel and if there is too much room I'll trim it down a bit.

I just had to add that not only is your cnc awesome, but so is your avatar.

dexxy that would be great if you send me the .dxf file I'll just import it into vcarve then make the g code for mach 3...
I built myself a Finelineautomation cnc its closer to 4X7' modified it a bit so its got some extra parts...
I've held of doing much with it till i get my shed built because my garage has no room now :(
my shed will be 12X32 and be built in a few weeks then i will do the Mame cabinet and pinball machine :) good luck on yours although i Don't think you'll need much :)
Your off to and excellent start...

I know I could ask these sorts of things on the MechMate forum, but since your here... :) What kind of bit life do you get cutting up a sheet of plywood like this?
Like I said earlier, my friend and I are both considering taking the MechMate plunge.
If you built that MechMate yourself, then I know this is going to be a great arcade cab. :applaud:
