        Does anyone have source for flat packs or CNC.?

        I have looked at a few designs. It would be nice if we could find a source to provide flat packs to these designs. Or at least the front.

          I’m sure you know the usuals, GSG, Parts-Express, eBay for junk auto cabs for testing….what else? There’s a guy near me who will build anything for money.

              Thanks. But, I am looking more for TOIDS designs. IE Cinema 10, 212, Presence 10 and so on.

              A full flat pack would be great. For example, DIYSG sell some flat packs for just under $40. That would be a no brainer for my limited skills. HA.

              Most of these the boxes and bracing wouldn’t be bad. The front and getting the driver and waveguide counter sunk to the correct depth would be the most challenging (for me anyway).

              I’ve done a couple local searches and have not found anything that jumps out.

                Are there any Maker Spaces in your area? Or try going to the local library and checking out the notice board or upcoming events. There’s also any number of community specific (to where you live) clubs or activities that could give you a lead on someone local with a CNC. For example, in my area we have a “Time Bank” where you can sign up to basically be a mentor or help others. I’m sure there’s someone signed up there that has a hobby CNC. For all you know there may be others around you in the same hobby that have similar needs. Can’t hurt to look around home.

                  Wow. I’ve never heard of these. There is a Makers Playground close to me. Has a CNC, Laster Cutter, 3d Printers, as well as several regular shop stations/equipment. I’ll have to check that out! Now to find a VCarve file of these. HA.

                  Not as easy as someone already having these in flat packs. But, could help.

                    If you get in the good graces there, they may even teach you how to do design and create your own CNC files. That would allow so much freedom.

                    Good luck!
