@Chase1082b or @Uncharted25461 would know, if you are capable of getting a hold of one of them.

Chase built a robot with a lot of CNC’d lexan, squeezing as many lightweight plastic pieces from one single sheet, as shown in the image in this topic post in the thread:

With VEX Robotics allowing lexan, it allows teams the capability to cut the lexan sheets and create something that is unique to their robot. But the issue about lexan is that it is almost impossible to cut lexan like a CNC would. CNC’s give teams extreme advantages, one being the capability to do extreme measurements and cutting to be able to have efficiency so high that normal cutting is incapable of doing. Here is an example of a schematic @Chase1082b made for his CNC. [cnc image] CNC’s gi…

The CNC router used to cut the lexan was the XCarve from Zander (upwards of $1-2K).

Talking to Chase on Discord, he suggests trying this one for $200-300, but the printbed would be small where you would need to cut some, move the lexan sheet, then continue cutting.
