Dorkpod Electric Vehicle assembly day one by Tinkersmiths Makerspace. On this day we prepped the Autodesk Fusion 360 3D model modifications from the Gothpod Alpha version. We made all the technical changes needed to create the Dorkpod Beta version. Once the 3D model modifications were made we updated the CNC tool paths to generate the G-Code to run the Tinkersmiths large format CNC. Gothpod was all 1/2" ply while Dorkpod is mostly 3/4" ply.
