Arduino Controlled Servo Robot (SERB)

Step 2 Cutting Pieces

Please chose which steps to follow based on the cutting option you have chosen.

Option 1 (Purchasing Pre-cut Parts)

• Purchase a pre-cut chassis from oomlout.com's store ( here ) ($60 including shipping to the USA and Canada)

Option 2 (Digital Manufacturing (ie. Ponoko ) / Access to a Laser Cutter)

• Download the laser cutter layout ( "03 SERB Ponoko Cutting Layout P2.eps" or "03-(SERB)-Ponoko Cutting Layout (P2).cdr" )
• Cut the files using Ponoko or on your own Laser Cutter (using 3mm, .118" acrylic (sometimes sold as .125")

Option 3 (Scroll saw and Drill)

• Download and print the PDF pattern (please choose the file corresponding to your paper size) 03-(SERB)-ScrollSaw Pattern (letter).pdf 03-(SERB)-ScrollSaw Pattern (A4).pdf(it is important to not scale the drawing while printing)
• Measure the ruler on the printout against a ruler you trust, if they do not match the pattern has been scaled and you need to look at your printer settings before reprinting. If they do match up, onwards.
• Glue the pattern to the acrylic sheet (3mm, .118" (sometimes sold as .125").
• Drill holes.
• Cutout pieces using a scroll saw

I just tried uploading the EPS file to Ponoko and it doesn't work. Their website gives this error, for file : 03 SERB Ponoko Cutting Layout P2.eps

"You need to use a finer nib!
The cutting lines and/or vector engraving lines in your .eps file are thicker than we can handle. (We’ve highlighted the problem area(s) in your design here.) Please reduce all cutting and/or vector engraving lines to a thickness of 0.01mm then try again. "

Does anyone have the ability to fix this problem? Can you reupload the correct file to this Instructable please?

 A person would have to have god-like skills to successfully go with option 3.

Mine doesn't look like the laser cut one, but it does resemble a SERB...  It took about 3 hours to cut out all of the pieces.
