I checked out the fablab here too. Looked fantastic!
To get started I need to get the plywood first. In a hobby store they are selling the 4mm plywood in packets of 4 by the size of A2(420 x 594) or A3 (297 x 420). Do you think the packet of A3 will do it? Or should I go for the A2.
And overall, how much of the 1mm would I need?
A3 should fit.The largest part for the interface board is approx. 280 x 330. I used one sheet of 500 x 300 1mm plywood and had leftovers.
My tip: get QCAD / export to PDF / open PDF in Illustrator/CorelDraw/etc. and copy paste all parts in to new files with the dimensions of the plywood you’re using.

I will ask Primo if I may publish my PDF’s.
