BARTOP ARCADE CABINET Layout Design and Build Tips PART 2

This video covers tracing the template found on my website and cutting out a side panel. I am using this specific panel as a router template so I can crank out a bunch of these quickly without having to layout everything with a ruler or the paper template for future builds. I am going to try and cut out parts of the interior of this template so I can trace on layout lines to a piece underneath as well for a time saver. Basically creating an Arcade Jig to help students with some of the trickier math and measurements to give us excellent repeatable cuts!

After taping together the side panels sheets measure them before cutting any wood/mdf to make sure your printer settings were correct. I personally use 11x17" paper and haven't tried the 8.5 x 11" paper.

Hi!
I'm building a Bartop based on your great instructions. The cabinet is closed to finish and ready for painting. I'd like to ask two questions related to best practice.
1. Did you install some kind of ventilation for waste heat? I'm afraid that monitor, Raspberry Pi and switching power supply (12V / 5V) will generate to much heat.
2. How did you attach the Marquee?
Thank you and greetings from Germany!

Nice build dude. Have you thought about putting a trackball in there?

Why did you trace the lines on the side, so you can layout your backings?
