► This project begin as a solution to,

1. time consuming hand cutting of foamboard
2. must be compact for storage(foldable)
3. as cheap as possible(of course)

► As I begin, I was very sure that there are others who would want the same thing, so i had to design it in a way that others able to replicate and ensure everything work perfectly as they should(as you know the frustration building half baked stuff shared by others), the downside is that it cost me a loooot of time(months) and looots of money(over 4 digits LOL) buying the wrong stuff, burning arduino & cnc shield ;(, printed out many many 3d parts as i make adjustment.

So i appreciate that you could buy the 3D printed files and make use of the affiliate link in the parts list below, it doesn't cost anything extra to you, but hopefully i could recoup some while created a time saving solution to you.
