    Catan game board pieces. Basic game plus some expansions. Making it for a friend. This was a great project for learning the software and the CNC process. All the files are uploaded as .DXF. The only thing I didnt' do on the CNC was engrave the chits or ports. I used my laser engraver after cutting out the shapes on the CNC. Feel free to modify them.

    I love this! I might be making something like this soon :)
    Is 30mm/min correct? That seems incredibly slow to me.

      If I cut them out with the 12 watt laser, I’m at 100mm/minute, 95% power. With the router, Openbuilds control shows about 800mm/minute on the straight line cuts.

    For anyone interested, I have uploaded the DXF files for the various pieces. This was all done in VCarve Pro if it helps anyone.
