I programmed this in last week/weekend cut and assembled it today..
Accepts all the factory parts, turned out pretty nice. It's for sale too, 350.00 !
Is it trying to catch the bus for the first day of school?

you dont want that thing, bring it over and I will take care of it.... but for real very awesome!!!! im amazed at some of the things people can do around here..makes me feel very talentless
lol if you guys saw the absolute fucking saw dust/scrap disaster at the front of my garage, with the torn apart Burgertime, and the busted up Pacman, you would understand why i moved it out by the road lol. I needed some good shots of it without all the clutter so i can add the pics to my website lol

nice.
you have any cabinets that can fit a 25 inch monitor ?

What does it typically cost for a CNC machine that can handle jobs like that?

Thats so Sweet!!!!!!!
I think he's already handled that.

In my setup, with the cnc, laptop to run it, upgrades i did to it, and misc shop equipment, (tablesaw, hand router, router table) i am pushing about 20K in the whole thing now.
Yes, i sell a LOT of tron cabinets. I hate making the back door for it, it's a pain in the ass!

That BT looks beautiful. Sure would look good after stenciling.
How the heck do you measure curves like that accurately and translate to a CAD program?

it took me five hours to program in the side, including all the measuring! It's all done in XY coordinates. I take the side off the game, and i drill 3/8" holes at the ends of all the tennon joints, and then lay the game side on a 4X8 sheet of plywood. I line up the back and bottom with 2 sides of the ply, and trace the game, and all the circles i drilled. Then i use a big T square and i measure the X dimensions ( 8 foot on the sheet) and the Y dimensions, ( 4 foot on the sheet) and write them in a notepad.
I mark the ends of all the straight lines, and that gives me the info to draw those. On curves, i mark the curves every inch, and get the XY coordinates of each. Then, in my sofware, i use the coordinates to draw .25" circles. Then i connect the dots for the straight lines, and i put in all the circles for curve. I connect the lines say, at the top of the game, front to back, and ignore the circles. Then i go into Node editing mode, where i can insert points, and there is an option called "To Arc" and it turns a straight line into an arc, that can be manipulated. Then. i drag the arc as close to the curve as i can get it, then i insert points near the circles i programmed in, and drag the point into the circle, and it will "snap to" the center. I repeat this all around the plane of the curve, until my entire line now goes throught the center of each of those circles i drew 1" apart, and i have a matched curve to the original game profile.
Did i lose anyone on that? I should make a tutorial on how to copy a game without a cnc and i could show people how to do it with just a router, jigsaw, tablesaw, and a drill.

You really need to open a west coast division!

What software package are you using? I have a CNC plasma cutter and I don't like the S/W that comes with it..

that is some amazing skill and a labor of love. Nice work man!
thanks guys! I am using proprietary software that came with my machine, Partworks. It's made by Vectric, and it's a stripped down version of artcam pro. Look into artcam pro, it has the ability to do toolpaths, etc. I know the company i got my cnc from now has plasma cutting units, that's the same as mine, just set up for plasma.
