CNC Version of the Frame for people with CNC Machines - faster

I printed out one of the frames and loved the design but quickly realized that I could probably CNC cut these things faster.   I know a lot of guys with shops out there may have CNC Machines.  Using the Prusa Design I was able to quickly make a new design that can be cut out quickly from .25" HDPE plastic sign board entirely with a single .25" endmill so that they can be made quickly without any tool changes.   I cut out a prototype this evening and was able to cut out one in about 2 minutes.  With some fine tuning I think I can cut even more time off of that.  I will be fine tuning the design tomorrow and will put it together and release it for people who have access to CNC Machines.

Hi this looks interesting,

Did you get any futher?

Do you have any ideas about good budget CNC machines?
Weighing that up vs 3d printers.

Preferably if it can be sourced on amazon uk!

Thanks

Here are the files.  I will be working with The Caring Like Nicholas Foundation to provide these to local children's hospitals.  The files and instructions will be up on their website as soon as we can get the website updated.   Caringlikenicholas.org

Running on my Shopbot without any optimized G-Code it cuts one every 2 minutes.  

If anyone has any feedback or modifies the design to make it better, let everyone know.

A page has been setup with links to the files and information here for anyone with a CNC machine.  The design was also updated to be able use a 3 hole 3 ring binder format standard hole punch for the shield.

Great! CNC cutting machine is definitely more efficient, and I'm sure that those who have access to CNC tools will notice a big difference. I can't wait to see the plan and find out what changes have been made to speed up the cutting process. This site is a great website where you can find great deals on a lot of different things. It's easy to use and has good prices, so it's the best place to find what you're looking for. With CNC machine repair, you can be sure that your machines will work well and safely to make good products.

It's great to hear that you're fine-tuning the design and planning to release it for others who have access to CNC machines. This kind of collaboration and sharing within the community can be incredibly valuable.
