Minipac plans from minimame.com

[juan_caliente]

Hello Everyone,

A few years ago I had downloaded the pac-man plans from minimame.com and I have lost them.  Of course now that I have a stack of wood and in my garage they are no longer available.  Does anyone have these saved on their computer?  Would anyone be willing to email them to me?  Please:)

Thank you very much,

Are you talking about this?

Plans here:

Or are you refering to something different.  Those terms are fairly generic and have spanned several cabinet designs.

Hello,

That is the site I am refering to, but the plans I want are the PacMini, which are no longer available for download.  I especially want the side templates as I want to make 2 minis, one for horizontal and one for verticle games.  Does anyone have thoes plans?

Thank you,

Maybe you should try emailing the guy.  Otherwise go to Jakobuds site, grab the dimensions of a full Pac Cabinet, and downsize it.

[juan_caliente]

I have emailed him but got no response.  I also have the jakobud dimensions but when I try to increase the size of the jpg to make a full size side I can print out and trace onto the wood.  I am just not comfortable with my ability to draw curves free hand based upon the measurements on Jakobud.

We have to learn how to crawl before we can walk. 

[juan_caliente]

Yes, but sometimes it is easier to let someone else do the walking rather than listen to the wife and kids ask why the edge is not really curved and looks like crap:)

Also, if no one has these plans can anyone tell me what program I might be able to use to resize the .pdf or .jpg files and have them print on multiple pages?

Thank you,

I have plans for a small cabinet (4')that looks like this when built.  I can email it to you if I can find it on the computer at home.  I'm sure I still have it somewhere.  What graphic type do you prefer?  EPS, PDF, CDR, AI?

Those are some beautiful little cabs!  Great Job!

You don't want to resize a JPG -- you want to resize using a vector format (e.g. EPS) as your base.

Check the FAQ in the Artwork forum for info on what software to use.

Cheers.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Nannu, those are GORGEOUS !

[juan_caliente]

Nannuu thoes look terrific, and are exactally what I am looking for.  If you have the plans I would love a copy of them.  What size monitors are in yours?  Do you have a webpage with more pictures?

Thank you in advance,

[Nannuu]

Thanks!  I appreciate the comments.  I had 17" in both of them.  I'm sure I have more pictures at home as well, I'll try to find those too.  I found a jpg version of the dimensions and cut plan.  I couldn't get all of the parts on a full sheet.  To make it cheaper you can cut the back door (number 3) out of a 2'x4' piece of 1/4" or 1/2" MDF.  They are less than $5 I think.  Use some angle mounted on number 6 or some scrap wood to hold the monitor glass up in the back.  This way you can get it out easy later if needed.

PM me your address and I can email you the vector files.  Although I think all of the dimensions you need are there.  Oops, there is a 1/4" space between the edges of the sides and the inside box itself.  I don't think that is noted on the drawing.  Also, the points dimensioned with circles around them are the center points of the arcs.

EDIT:  I found 2 dimensions that would make it nice to have

Those are awesome!!!  When can I come over and play?

[nostrebor]

I have some to-scale drawings of my mini-pac cabinet as well, in ACAD .dwg format. If anyone wants a set of dwg files to modify, I'll pass them along.

[juan_caliente]

I am sure I as well as a lot of others here would love it if you could post your files.
