I’ve just finished an arcade game that I designed. It uses an Arduino Nano, and it works like the “Simon” toy of old, where the player echoes as many lights/sounds as possible.
Because there are six switches on the panel, I wanted to make a six-sided enclosure for it. I adapted the 1F plywood box demo seen here:
EP6 Onefinity CNC - Miter Fold Box - YouTube
I used one piece of plywood and a 60-degree V-bit to get the correct angle. There are multiple spaced passes for each joint, which required a little trigonometry to figure out. I think it worked out well.

Nice control box! I’d love to see a video of it in action.

If you’re using Vcarve you can just create a rectangle for each joint line that’s 1.1547 times as wide as the depth of your cut (for 60° joints) and v-carve it. No need to figure out the location of every pass. So for 3/4" plywood you would make the rectangles 0.866" wide, or slightly less if you want to leave a ‘hinge’.
