hey everybody,
just bought a Cnc Machine with the idea of customising my van and hopefully earning a bit of cash on the side,
Has anyone got any cool ideas or things they want making ?

Doh!
good point,
it can basically cut and engrave MDF, Ply, Acrylic and Solid woods although I can only do 2d stuff at the moment until I can afford 3d software

Recently finished building mine and can finally carry on with my new instrument cluster. Lots to learn though.

Looks good, but if you are working in acrylic it'd be a lot quicker and cleaner to get it laser cut
I have access to a laser cutter if you need something - I work in 2D Design but other formats can be dealt with.

Good timing!!
Been looking at making a repro of LR wolf front grill. Want one just big enough to fill the lower aperture. Was thinking Ali powder coated black.
Can you do this sort of thing?
