Some CNC guidance for a beginner

[fsaviator]

If there were a set of dxf files out there we could cut from it would be awesome. Mine are certainly available if anyone wants them. I saw jeehell had posted some photos of his EFIS and FCU panels, they look great. Not sure if he made them with CNC or by hand though. They look like what I want to build, right down to the pushbuttons he used. Maybe we get his drawings put into the library.

Ahh well, enough rambling (again)..back to work! Good luck with the V90, if you need any questions answered let me know. If I can help I am glad to do so.

That sounds great. I've already started the process. Called the wife and convinced her that we can do cool wood carvings now... I'll be ordering tonight.

As for DXF files, OpenCockpits has a zip file called "PANELES 737 NG R14" in their download section. It has dxf files of all the 737 Cockpit parts. I also found another file, called "737 autocad2000.dxf" This has everything too, broke down in tabs, by section. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I got that from. I can send it to you though. I'm hesitant to post it as I don't remember who the original poster is. Not sure what the netiquette for that is.

At this rate, when I get home I should have a 60 lb box sitting in the garage ready to be put to work.

Thanks for all the help. Let me know if you need any of those DXF files.
