I've been through hell with various software issues before this, so I know how frustrating it can be! This project began as a solution to three major problems: 1. Time-consuming hand cutting of foamboard 2. The need for compact storage (it had to be foldable) 3. Keeping costs as low as possible (of course!) As I started working on the project, I was confident that others would want the same thing. So, I designed it in a way that makes it easy for others to replicate and ensure everything works perfectly. The downside is that it took me months of time and over $4,000 to get it right - buying the wrong parts, burning out my Arduino and CNC shield, and printing countless 3D parts as I made adjustments. I appreciate your interest in using the affiliate link in the parts list below; it doesn't cost you anything extra. Hopefully, I can recoup some of the costs while creating a time-saving solution for you.
