![]() ![]() This web page offers miscellaneous panel layouts which can be downloaded and printed out. In later blog posts I will show how all these buttons will be connected. I have also added 2 side buttons for the design for possible pinball machine games, which actually belong to player 1 setup. So 6 buttons next to the joystick, 2 for select and start. I looked at several possibilities, but the one with 8 buttons per player was the most appealing to me. I could use the screen width (that is the cardboard behind the button sheets) to determine the layout of the buttons. The next part of the design was to determine how the control panel will look like. The screen had also VESA mount holes, which I could use to fasten it inside the cabinet. The screen was a 24 inch Acer P241W LCD display.Īfter taking the cover of the screen I could measure the dimensions which could be transferred into the design. I have found out that 80 degrees tilt would be optimal. The viewing angle of the screen was also important, because the screen did not have a IPS panel so it had little offset at which it could be viewed. I also needed to take into account the dimensions of the monitor that I wanted to use and the size of the control panel. This youtube channel offers a good tutorial to get you started. ![]() It had a nice and intuitive user interface and in no time I was in the process of creating the design. After a search on Google I have stumbled upon an Open Source application called LibreCAD. I started to draw the design on paper, but quickly found out that it was not the best way to do it. I have chosen for the latter as I though that it would give me more freedom in design and in the end more satisfaction. ![]() I would like to have plans delivered as PDF plans, ready to be cut out of MDF as well as SolidWork plans so friend of mine can cut it out on his CNC router.After deciding to build a bartop arcade cabinet I had the option to buy a prebuilt kit or create everything from scratch. I have attached PDF plans for similar type of cabinet that hopefully explains what I mean by Ikea like cabinet assembly. I would also like to get plans that have incorporated Ikea like cabinet assembly. I would also like to have control panel with the piano hinge, so I can lift / open control panel and access computer parts without taking whole cabinet apart. Please have a look here for the explanation: I would like to have my control panel to be built out of MDF, same as the rest of the cabinet. But I would like to make few changes to the design, mainly to the control panel. Here is the link to the cabinet I would like to build:Īs you can see, most of the cabinet is explained and it also includes work drawings with dimensions and artwork. I will try to explain as much as possible what I'm after but happy to answer any questions you might have! ![]() Looking for someone who can create simple set of plans based on existing Arcade cabinet so I can print plans on try to manufacture cabinet myself : ) ![]()
