Cycling Surface CNC

I finally got out of the planning stage and began actually making the first surface pieces. Some of the delay was waiting for the local plastic shop to find the yellow acrylic I was looking for. I had figured out lots of the settings for CNCing acrylic while making the connecting pieces, that combined with the larger pieces made this process a little easier. In the end I had to re-do about 5 out of 276 pieces because of glitches or mistakes I made. Some mistakes I can fix with the saw, drill or sander but a few had to be added to the last panel. The latest ShopBot software has a nesting feature that makes efficient use of the material and gives consistent borders and gaps between parts.
