Well of course it would be nice, but there not exactly cheap! If you want to make all your own panels professionally, then yes.
But to be honest, making your own panels is a complete joy and great satisfaction. But there are websites out there that offer the complete panels for less than I could make them. And you still get the joy of building and assembling them including wiring.
However, the basic cockpit structure that I have designed, can be made simply with a jigsaw and a lot of sanding. lol, Even with a CNC machine I still need to sand the parts! MDF is easily shaped and I only have an orbital sander.
Hello Karl, My name is Maco, i´m from Argentina, have zero to none experience in CNC milling/cutting and with CAD sofware (i´m lying, in the past i have used Archicad Succesfully, but for the purpose of building houses)
I live 500 from Buenos Aires (That's where god have its offices) so having a hard time in my town Necochea, to find a CNC cutting/milling service.
I have a few questions.
1) Which CNC machine would you recommend? for hobby in order to make some instruments, if i'm building panels i will use the big boys tools, that i have available (jigsaw, table saw, sander, ingleter, arc welding machine? is too much ahaha)
I mean from Aliexpress/Ebay, the recommended size to make an mcp, radio stack, and more small parts,
2)Which 3D Printer would you recommend.... "Idem Above"
3)I´m really having a hard time on exporting the $38 mcp FUSION360 to .dgw or autocad, in order to be cutted/milled. Is it simple or i will have to start the learning curve from scratch in that software. Which software is used to feed data to the CNC machine?
4) No more questions! and sorry for my old rusty and devaluated English Grammar...
