On the internet I saw a ludo made of wood. I liked that very much. We built one with my daughter.

Step 1: Create File With CAD Program

Since I wanted to make the playing field with my self-made Lowrider 2 CNC milling machine, I first had to create the CAD in DXF format. The playing field is 350mm x 350mm. The circles for the figures are 12mm in diameter

Step 2: Create CNC File

To create the milling program, the DXF file must be edited with Estlcam. The width, depth, etc. of the milling paths are defined here

Step 3: Milling With the Lowrider 2 CNC

After the program has been created, milling can begin. The whole thing takes about 20 minutes.

It is milled with an 8mm shadow cutter.

Step 4: Mark Start and Finish

So that you can recognize the start and finish of the four colors, I painted them. Mask off everything except for the respective fields with adhesive tape.

Then use the spray can (paint for toys) to paint the 8 fields with one color each.

Step 5: Painting Figures

I bought the 12 mm wooden play figures in nature. These are also painted with the respective four colors

Step 6: Sanding Down Game Board

After the paint was completely dry I sanded the playing field with 240 grit. Until all paint residues are removed from the surface. Now only the 3mm deep holes are marked in color.
