DIY CNC Plasma table walk around. Good and bad parts

- This is a walk around of the 4x8 cnc plasma table I built. I am running Myplasm software and height control. I also show how I built the water table to change levels of water in the system. I point out some of things I like about it and some of the things I would change about it.
That is one of the nicest built tables on CZcams. I most likely will build mine close to yours. Great job!
Thanks. I still plan to make a few changes to it. A lighter gantry, better z axis, and a computer stand are in the future for improvements.
You can 3d print a secondary torch mount to eliminate some of the slop I would also line the ebay mount with neoprene to cushion the extra space.also I would look into an Anti corrosive additive for your water. Or a better one for it if you are using it. There still seems to be some rust on your slats. And even just having that (none on the pan or whatever) can cause issues down the road.
Thoughtful, beautiful build! Great ideas and innovation!
Hi.. what do you call that water filling systems so i can Google how to make one for my table.. please thanks
can you make video to show us how plasma work and also can you show us the parts of table . thanks
thats great, nice work very robust
Badass!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Nice video, useful thank you.
Do you have any plans or a parts list for this build. It's very nice.
Not as of now. I want to make a few changes to it and see how they turn out before I decide if I want to spend the time making actual plans.
What kind of laptop are you using? Brand, how much memory?
@ethanmorehead8386 it is a 4 year old gaming laptop I bought from Costco. Running the table itself doesn't take much of a computer. Using Fusion 360 and my 3d scanner are what max out the computer. My plasm software would probably work on about any new laptop that is currently sold.
What type of drive on the X and Y? Brilliant idea to do the gantry on the long side to save some space.
I used 5 to 1 planetary gear boxes and 900 oz Nema 34 motors. I need either bigger motors or a lighter gantry. The 3x6 extrusion is 7plus pounds a foot. On thinner materials like 14 ga and less I have to have the ramping so slow that I am having issues. I am going to try swapped to 2x4 extrusion. Should cut around 60 pounds off the weight and hopefully help with thin material cutting.
@@northpeak4x4 Rack and Pinion? Belt? Ball screw? It was hard for me to tell in the video
@Bear's Sh*t sorry. Yes, they are rack and pinion. The rack, pinion, and gear boxes are from automation overstock.
@@northpeak4x4 Thank you!!
Where did you get the rack and pinion from?
Automation-overstock.com
No affiliation at all with them all of the slides and rails came from them as well.
