cichlidfan Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I looked at it the other day.

Mr_Burns Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 There was a guy on here a few years ago who was making carboard pits, his boss let him use the laser and cardboard at weekends. He got a bit of a brush-off IIRC that it was cardboard and then he stopped posting, assumed he lost his job or the laser cardboard combination came a cropper. Nice idea, but I will end up spilling beer on it or falling out of it.
Deadman Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 It was linden he finally figured out that cardboard has its limitations http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1373469&postcount=74 https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
NeilWillis Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I used to play in cardboard boxes, but as far as I know, that all stopped by the time I was 6! Can't see it taking off :) :) :)
agrasyuk Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 . We've invested all we can in advertising, construction and hardware, and we need help to go further and to be sure of the viability of our product. I'm not sure I understand this, they need funds to be sure of viability? What does this mean? I know cardboard can be sturdy material (laminated and glued), but this construction didn't really impress me. I can't justify the pricepoint either. Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
metalnwood Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I am guessing viability of a market. If someone wanted to sell me something made from cardboard and they were not sure of the viability of the product I would not be buying :)
Mr_Burns Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I did make my first pit out of cardboard, but only to test the dimensions. Looks like he would be better investing in a laser that can cut this out of a sturdier material, then design it with fewer parts so its cheaper and lighter. I like the idea of massive decals to cover the external.
