Lumpy's MSE Droid Build (Laser Cut)

[Lumpy]

Hey All!

Thought I would share my build of my laser cut shell.

A BIG thanks to Kresty for re-working the files to a more usable
format so that we could cut on the laser.

A few notes :

** I cut this completely out of 1/8" Baltic Birch **
** I modified the middle frame from original file to add a second frame wall to interlock top/bottom together. **
** Yes dimensions may be off a smidge as original files called for 1/16" material in areas **
** Laser used was a Trotec Speed 100 - Bed size 12"x24" **
** I built this over 5 days working in the evenings. **
** I was high on Krazy glue and Bondo fumes! **

Here we go!

I re-nested the original Kresty file to fit my laser bed (12"x24"). Ended up being 7 sheets of Baltic Birch used.



Glueing the top/bottom frames. I had to modify the file as my laser bed is only 12" and this part was 12.250". I keyed the ends for easy assembly.



A close-up of the keyed ends and insert.



Lots of Krazy glue and Kicker used.



Inner frames and side getting assembled.



Chamfered the body top "lid".



Assembling the main body.



Wheelbase coming together.



Just getting a feel as to how it will look.



Wood filling as I go. (Rev. 2 - I removed label engraving from parts)
