I've considered that too. And while I have both some MDF and some OSB, and the MDF would be better as its "deader", I haven't actually taped out the available room so I could see it in my head. As many of you may have guessed, lots of stuff I make have never been committed to paper plans, existing only in my head. I can write the gcode to make it far quicker than I could learn how to properly use sketchup or a similar cad program when they don't come with a gcode generator, meaning I'd still have to write the code. I had great hopes for Heekscad/Heekscnc 3 or 4 years ago, but that project was never finished, he went to work on freecad and AFAIK the gcode generator was never ported to freecad, which itself seems to have faded to obscurity in the dusts of time. Releases are being made, last in Sept. of this year, but if it was useful, I expect I would have seen some discussion of it here. The copy's of both I installed here, on a previous install, seemed to have more bugs than a 10 day old carcass in August. Could have been PEBKAC too. :( Either way I could not get my head around it. According to the web page for freecad, a CAM module is currently in the planning stage. And that page was last updated in July 2014. No promises there.
