I downloaded and got the panels cut out about 2 months ago when I was still in Cincinnati and had access to my schools Laser cutter. (cost $78) I was in a rush to get this done before I moved back to NY for CO-OP. So I have to cut a few parts by hand after the revisions. Its not a problem so I still have to get that done..
Since I couldn't obtain chipboard I opted for MDF since it was cheap and available on short notice from home dept. Because of my rush I ran into the problem that my MDF was exactly .25" thick ..and the slots where .24".
Some of the tabs fit but where really snug. I decided to get out the orbital sander and slim up the cut panels a bit, spent about an hour sanding now everything fits just fine.. I placed an order for the hardware and will order the motors and controller next week. I'll keep this updated as progress continues.
