All I can tell you is that my first cab was designed on a pizza box lid and Darkade was designed on a napkin so you're already light years ahead of what I consider to be run of the mill design techniques. I think it's totally awesome that you'll be putting your plans into another format and then publishing freeling with your notes. Respect :cheers: |

The shipping alone would kill me :( --- End quote --- I just used Sketchup to design the original American Ace. This was fine for my purposes... but it really did leave a lot to be desired for someone else to use. However, in order to have the parts CNC cut, I'll be doing a full up CAD design; with every dimension and part (including hardware) accounted for. I plan to provide these files and construction notes free of charge to anyone interested. :cheers: So, stay tuned and I'll keep this thread updated throughout the duration of the Kickstarter project. --- End quote --- That's awesome! I would follow up on this thread, for sure! |

She came looking for it too... which was awkward because I had to explain the cut list had taken over the shopping list. |

Sounds great, especially by adding the room for a vert monitor. I'd say, leave the coin door as an option. Also, since it's getting wider, no chance for a two player set up (especially since you are dumping the spinner). Great job and I may be one of your first backers! |
