Question for making the valovi Chair by myself with CNC

[Julien AUBERT-DOZEVILLE]

Hello,

I juste need ton know what thickness of plywood should I use, to make the Valovi Chair with a CNC?

I read in the FAQ that most of the time the thickness is 18mm by I want ton be sure for this Chair.

I precise that I cannot read the informations on the side of the downloaded file as it does appear in code caracters such as "(format/sheet/get..."

Thank you a lot for answers.

Kind regards

I have the same question.  There doesn't appear to be an thicknesses listed for the various designs, which is odd.

FYI, there's a comment in the DXF file, but it appears to have unreferenced variables.

The Valovi Chair chair calls for 3/4" or 18mm B/BB grade Baltic Birch.  All Opendesk products call for that material or what would be called 1/2" or 12mm.  You can see in the images on their site, every product uses one of those materials, except in the instance where a laminate is on top.

When you get this material back in your shop, it is up to you to measure the material thickness and determine how to alter the DXF based upon it's thickness.  You'll notice on the Valovi Chair, it has slots for the support pieces to fit into.  You need to measure that specific gap in the drawing and resize the entire drawing based upon your wood thickness.  For me and my CNC machine, I typically resize the drawing to be the same size as my wood thickness.  This gives me the proper friction fit.  This is something you will need to test for yourself based upon you CNC machine and machining method.

If resizing the the entire drawing makes the product too big or too small, you potentially need to find an alternative source for your material.

Hi Julien, 

I know it's been a couple of years since you posted this. I was wondering if you could help me out. 

I am looking to build the Valovi Chair but I do not have the dxf files. Would it be possible for you to send it to me? 

My email is rahul....@gmail.com

I would be very grateful.

I don't believe the files are being distributed anymore via Opendesk which means I should not as a maker for them.
