Need Cocktail CAD file help!
« on: November 26, 2016, 11:08:42 pm »
So the 5 year wedding anniversary is the "wood" anniversary, and the wife wants a Ms Pacman Style cocktail cabinet. I have the mame PC totally ready to with Ipac2, joysticks, buttons, and monitor all set. I got 2 NEC EA191M PVA panel 19" monitors on craigslist still in boxes for $50.

I was filling in for a guy at a prop shop a couple of weeks ago building some props for Port Orleans at Disney World and I noticed that the shop has a full on CNC machine. I asked the owner if he would cut a cocktail cab for me and he said for sure. I just need to give him a CAD file that is autocad 2010 or newer and has any necessary "bridges" so pieces don't go flying.

I have my talents, but autocad is not one of them. Is there a set of plans out there in the proper format that I can use? I guess I would need to modify it to fit my 19" 5:4 monitor? Anybody willing to help a brother out? I was hoping to order a 4x8 of black 3/4" melamine and cut the entire thing out of that, so if any existing file had a 1" top, it would also have to be alterdd for 3/4". Oh..and the top glass I have is from a space invaders 2 deluxe cocktail. I think it is the same, but not entirely sure. Guess I would have to measure that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Unstupid posted some plans based on the Ms pacman cocktail awhile back - there is still a working link to he .dwg format of the plans here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/cade/comments/3ifhup/looking_for_cocktail_cabinet_cad_files_for_cnc/ ) - not sure if they will work but might be useful.

That's not the "wood" she is looking for! ;)
