I'm looking to build a mini arcade machine for my daughter turning 3. I was wondering if by chance anyone had a cnc file of any arcade cabinet that's been shrunken down such as a Nintendo cab, pac man, galaga, etc. Help anyone?

im doing the same thing! Im just gonna scale down a cab i already have. Hoping to start in a couple weeks. must order parts!
 
I would love to make about 2 ft tall scaled down version of a midway cab and multi Cade it, and have a handle on top to take in hotels with me :)
 
Most of my models are legit for using measurements off of. There's even a Moppet cabinet in model form in there too. ;)

Do you really want a CNC file? That seems like a limited means of interchange to me, as CNC file may be quite different for different machines. For example, do you want a ShopBot (.SBP) file? Or a standard G-code NC file? Can your control do cutter offset compensation? Is it just a simple point-to-point-only controller, or does it support circular move codes? Is your router powerful enough to do the whole depth in one cut, or will you need to make two passes (one at half-depth, another thru the rest)? Do you even have a movable Z-axis?

Or do you really just want nice vector format (DXF or similar) files for the shapes, and you'll toolpath and post-process it for your own machine with your own CAM software?
