Sanding block from the very sturdy Styrodur

Lately, I’ve been working on building wings for model airplanes.
This gave me the idea of constructing a sanding block from the very sturdy Styrodur used in this process. Unfortunately, the video is only available in German, but the process is easy to understand even without the text.
I’m planning to make a second video in which I’ll go into more detail about programming the individual machining processes.

Hello everyone,

I have gathered all the files for the sanding block project once again to make them available to you.
In the video, I go into more detail about programming the processes with GrblGru. For example, I describe how you can save yourself a lot of work when creating the drawing by choosing the right layers. It also shows how to hide and move individual paths of a project afterwards.
This is very useful, for example, if you realize at some point after starting the program that a clamping claw is in the way after all. Finally, I also show a wooden sanding block and a variant with cladding and possibly engraving. (Gift idea!)

However, the DXF files can certainly also be used for other CAM systems.
