Makers Beehive has been designed to be fabricated using a CNC router with CTBX plywood 21mm.
Use a 8mm flat milling bit to cut. The 3D model includes the layout for CNC milling.
We used Autodesk Fusion 360 to generate the toolpaths : you can find tutorials about the Manufacture feature of Fusion 360 on Autodesk website.
The fusion 360 archive files are included into the CNC router folder
A detailled list of the parts and an assembly guide can be found in this pdf.
