Have Grok Bot redraw DIY speaker plans, check CNC files and request shop quotes
@pablo9alexander had Grok Bot help build a pair of Troels speakers: it dug up the original plans, redrew every panel for 22mm MDF with compound bevels, built a 3D model to check the fit, wrote the CNC files, ran 149 accuracy checks on those files, and emailed CNC shops for quotes. They say their only instruction was to be very careful; the first quote was coming in when they posted. Diagram of the cabinet is in the post.
Try it yourself
What you get

Tools
- Grok Bot
- Published DIY speaker plans
- Email for shop quotes
Steps
- Name the exact plan set and the sheet thickness you will cut.
- Ask for redrew panels, a 3D model and CNC files with a count of checks run.
- Review the accuracy report and cut list yourself.
- Approve any emails to CNC shops before they go out.
Copy-ready prompt
Help me build [SPEAKER PLAN NAME] in [THICKNESS]mm MDF. 1) Find the original panel drawings. 2) Redraw every panel for that thickness, including compound bevels. 3) Build a 3D model and list any collisions. 4) Write CNC files and run accuracy checks; report how many checks passed/failed. 5) Draft quote emails to CNC shops — do not send until I approve. Be very careful; stop and ask if anything is unclear.
Watch out: CNC cuts cost real money. Verify dimensions against the published plans before any shop cuts wood.
