Hi Mr Tasker and Group,
Thank you for the feedback of a panel fabricator!
I will give them a call.
This is the Panel, and the quote from EMachineShop was $142.87 delivered (attached).
Reminder: I am a novice and there are many better ways that I have discovered since beginning drafting like adding more relationships and constraints etc.
The drawings are defined accordingly, I just know my drawings will be better as I go
Also available by DM request is the Panel Part in 2D and 3D and GRT 10.1 Sport EFIS Part modeled in Solidworks for fun.
Many Regards,
Rick

Quote: | I had my panel fabricated by Bill M. of Up North Aviation. He did a great job for a very reasonable cost. If you have a design and can supply it in DXF format he can use that directly to cut the panel. My panel is for an RV9A. I started with an Affordable Panel when I first built the plane but they went out of business as far as I can find so when I upgraded my panel with more modern electronics, I had to find someone to cut a new panel from scratch.
I found Bill and couldn't have been happier! Easy to work with and a panel cut perfectly. His web site has comments about costs and what he can and cannot do. His price for a complete design and cutout is pretty cheap but if you provide the DXF of your design, it is even less (quite a bit less if my panel was a good example). I strongly suggest you contact him for a quote. I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised. The only thing he does not do is countersinks - but if you have built a plane to the point you need a panel, I am sure you can do those...

Quote: | I am using the basic student edition of Solidworks. I may invest in the full version if I keep modeling in 3D. It is very easy to learn and now I want a new graphics card and more processors, for those realistic looking models. I completed my first parts in 3D for the airplane: the Panel and the GRT Sport EFIS. And was able to send the Avionics Panel with cutouts modeled part drawing to EMachineShop for a quote. They accept Solidworks modeled parts without converting them to a step file or machine file.
