Open Source Furniture

Ever want to build your own furniture, but weren't sure where to start? This project lets you generate instructions for a CNC machine so you can make kitchen chairs that fit you or your space exactly. Here are the steps:

  1. Get the code (it's here, on GitHub). You'll also need make and OpenSCAD.
  2. (optional) Modify the code to customize the chair.
  3. Run "make chair" to generate a rendered PNG of the chair, a 3D STL of the parts for exact dimensioning, or a 2D DXF for sending to a CAM program.

  1. Use a CAM program (like PartWorks - need an open source option here!), enter the dimensions of your size of wood and describe the cuts to generate G-code.

  1. Send G-code from CAM program to a CNC router. Maybe your local hackerspace or makerspace can help out.

  1. Trim, sand, glue, and finish your chair!
