jakobud nintendo widebody plans completely wrong?

[Tailgunner]

This is on Jakobud's site already.  Perhaps you could verify that he wasn't supplied bad data and that his plans are correct? 

That was part of the reason I chose it.

This is also tops on my list, I'd appreciate anything that you could do regarding this.

Thanks,
Rick

Moon Patrol has always been a favorite of mine as well, and a cab I wouldn't mind building.

Hey guys, sorry I just got the PM for this thread.  I've been outta the loop around here for a while now.   

Very interesting find regarding the Widebody difference.  I remember when I was drawing up the plans for the original Mario Bros/DK/DKJr. someone told me about the widebody version that was limited release (which I wasn't aware existed), that he had.  I asked him to send me dimensions but he told me it was exactly the same as the originals except for the width.  So I ran with that.

Sorry about that guys, didn't mean to misrepresent the plans for that.  A lot of the plans on my site are plans that I drew up without actually having access to the cabinets.  They were mostly from kind individuals who contacted me and provided me with all the dimensions I needed.  They have mostly been pretty accurate (not exactly accurate but close enough that you couldn't tell the difference), but this discovery is definately the largest mistake of them all.  I'll get the plans removed or redrawn sometime here soon.

Thanks for the pointing this out.  If anyone ever finds issues with my plans, please don't be afraid to point them out to me so I can fix em!

On a side note, I'm curious why the height of the control panel on the widebody is so dramatically different.  Wonder if it was released in a different part of the world where people are generally taller?  Like China vs. United States or something.

Geeezzz!!! 

               What Jake does, he does for free!!!! For the benefit of this community. If some of the plans are a little out from where they should be then tough! Nobody forces you to use them.

If you have an issue with the plans Jake provides you FREE OF CHARGE!! and you have correct dimensions that you can prove are valid, then I've no doubt he'd be happy to hear from you PRIVATELY!!

To do this on a public forum is just plain rude and ignorant, and IS therefore insulting to Jake, wheather you intended it to be or not.  That's what CheffoJeffo was trying politely to point out to you.

P.S. His Defender Plans are absolutely bang on the nail.

Calm down dude, Rocking_Rick didīnt say anything insultive or down-grading. He just asked if Jake possibly did miss the fact that a wide-body is just not only a bit wider than the standard Nintendo-cab.

I can understand Rick, he doesīnt want to spend the labor and money for an unsatisfying endresult.

The biggest problem I have with the plans from Jake is.

I dont know how they was made and how accurate.
The measurements are in inch, which is a catastrophy.
There are too much features are not covered.

I also say, its for free and who ever wants to use it can do.
Jake did someting for the community for free and that is always a good thing and so he is a very good example for the rest of the scene.

The tendence to team up to fight, especially where no problem is, is a big problem on all sites and did never bring something positive out.

I dont see the point to start an attack for no reason here, Rick did nothing bad or wrong.

As for plans, I made many considerations about this and developed my very own system called POS (parametric outline scan) using the sketch feature of solidworks.

This is the only possible way to make 100% accurate plans + since Solidworksis a industrial CAD-software every CNC-carpenter can cut out the parts.

You just send the files and get the cabinet...or a puzzle to make the cabinet.

Here is how the system works:

Agreed.  I wouldn't take it as a personal attack or anything.  Seems like he was asking an okay question.

Dont mind, he did. But you in the most forums there are the "inner core" waiting for newbies for members without a gang to put the frustration on them...I am used to it.
