Tonight I finished the CNC work on the Playfield as I have a 1pm reservation on the Techshop.ws CNC machines for Saturday. Earlier this week I got some Russian Birch in 4x8 sheet to create the PF on. The veneers/cores look to be dense and high quality which should yield a good looking PF.
 
The CNC simulation yielded this rendering (click for full size image):

 
The simulator says 44minutes of machine time – but I’m guessing it’s gonna be longer than that.
 
With luck by 6pm; I’ll be back at home with a fresh playfield.
 
There are two things missing from this PF at the moment – One is the ball lane and the other is the beveled edges of the kickout hole.

I’m not sure yet how to generate these with the tools I have on hand. I need to learn Cut3d and figure out how to incorporate it into the design. I’m hopeful I can add it later after the PF is already CNCed or do some of the work by hand.
