Building the Space Palette Pro

These are the steps to building a complete system.

  • Build the software
  • Try it out
  • Decide whether to go further
  • Buy the parts
  • Cut the wood
  • Build the controller
  • Build the monitor
  • Build the base
  • Attach those 3 pieces
  • Connect all the wires
Each of those steps is described below.

Build the software

Here are the instructions for installing and setting up the software.

Buy the parts

The parts.ods file is a spreadsheet listing all of the non-wood parts needed. parts.pdf is a large printable version, and if you download this PDF and display it in your browser, the links will be enabled and point to the places (mostly Amazon) where you can buy each piece.

Cut the wood

A list of the wood pieces with pictures of each can be found in dxf/list.md. The dxf/list.txt file is a more concise list that shows for each piece the quantity, thickness, and DXF filename. Most of these pieces should be baltic birch, but some of them can be another material, particularly the inner layers of the monitor and controller. For example, MDF is an alternative to baltic birch at sendcutsend.com, a mail-order CNC service. In the parts list, the prices are taken from sendcutsend.com, using MDF for the inner layers. For the top layer of the controller (SPP_Layer1_face.dxf) and the top layer of the monitor (SPP_MonLayer1_face.dxf), you might consider using ApplePly for a nicer wood appearance.
