I just got my 3018 yesterday, so i only discovered your channel today. This is one use i had in mind for my 3018: to make a larger cnc for larger projects and keep the 3018 for smaller ones. I have mad respect for the process: showing us your mistakes and workarounds is worth as much to me as showing the parts that went as planned. You got a new sub for that as much as anything else you showed me. 👍 I'll be binge watching your other videos for the next week or so as i set up my new tool. Please keep up the good work. 😊 I did have a suggestion for the one hour mark, where you made trapped nuts, sandwiched between the plywood layers though (i have only gotten this far, so you may well address this later in the video. If so, ignore this): Drill the original base board like you did,but hammer T-nuts into the bottom of that board. It'll save you the height of the second plywood base plate, and the T-nuts won't spin like trapped nuts do if there's any resistance to the threads of the bolt. Other than that, i like your ideas. Especially using plywood to build the OG frame: I'm assuming one of your first projects with the new, larger cnc will be to cut out some aluminum brackets to replace the plywood brackets. I like ply for temporary use, but any moisture in your workshop and the ply loses some of its good properties: okay for a house, as its only tolerance is 1/4" or so,but for a precision cnc machine, i like as close to zero tolerance as i can get. 😊👌

How did you set up your floating head z? Switch in mach 3

до чего ж мерзкий голос у этого индуса

My main man Minh, thank you!

Good video. Thankyou for sharing your expertise

I'm wondering if when you had the sputtering problem, and you were adjusting the gap inside on that board, if you maybe cleaned the points as well, and that made it also work better along with the adjusting of the gap, which might be why you couldn't replicate the problem as easily? I had pilot arc problems on my Bestarc 2nd gen where the pilot arc completely failed. When I was massing with trying to figure out the problem with it, I cleaned my points in the similar location and type of setup, but mine didn't have adjustments like yours unfortunately so I bent them manually, which I shouldn't have done, because it turned out that my pilot arc problem was actually caused by the piolet arc relay being fused inside. I couldn't get the relays for this thing, so I cut the top of the little relay open and had to use a punch and a hammer to unfuse the damn thing, and then had to file it flat again and bend it back into shape, then it worked again. Then I ended up getting this big heavy duty relay off of amazon while waiting for my 15 cheap replacement relays I ordered from China, and this big heavy duty one is awesome, and has a cover that comes off so you can clean it or even swap the parts, but also has 2 sides to it, so I can just switch to the other side of it if it happens again as well... Anyway, I was wondering if maybe you happened to clean those points and forgot about it, which might have been the reason you couldn't easily replicate the problem? And here's the name of the heavy duty 24v relay I ordered for $38 Canadian from Amazon, to replace the cheap difficult to get consumable ones that come in these cheaper plasma cutters if anyone is interested, because it wasn't easy to find an alternative one that would work properly, or even better than the original: TWTADE/JQX-62F-2Z Coil Voltage DC 24V 80A DPDT Electronmagnetic Relay,High Power Relay DC 24V Also, thank you so much for this detailed video and explanations for this HF CNC issue, I really appreciate the help!

cool

Hi! Greetings from the Philippines! I recently bought the 3018 promax cnc. I also bought the y-axis upgrade kit. Question: Can i extend the length of the x-axis by changing all the x-axis parts, say 800mm up to one meter using the same all stock electronic controls?

wearing a ring when machining is an accident waiting to happen!.

i live in asia with normal weather with the temperature usually 26-30, do i still need the water heater or is it fine if i don't use it?? please give me some advice

I have promblem with post processor 🤔🤔 can anyone help me ?

Do you have a wiring diagram for that controller

the whole frame needs to be cast iron.

pissing in the wind using a wooden framed toy!,just shows you dont have any idea about machining!,keep failing!.

why do you thinl propper milling machines for machining any metal are made from cast iron!,what you have there is a toy!,ok for plastic or wood but its too whippy for metal!.

Thanks man. you save my daysssss!!!!

Hi great work ,really fantastic, bestarc plasma cutter 11 genaration need to open to connect positive and negative wires to setup please and thank you

This is a very comprehensive video. I wish I watched this one first. good job

Has anyone with a mach3 board with parallel port tried to do this

The downloads of Sheetcam doesnt include the postprocessors.

Congratulations on the video, very well explained. My CNC3018 doesn't turn on the normal spindle using gcode, I need to turn it on manually before running gcode otherwise it keeps turning the spindle on and off, do you know what could cause this?

Hello good idea Is it still working?

Wow, your tenacity paid off big time. Well done. Great Job.

Great guide and very well presented.

hi minh's are chine or vietnam i just new on this hobby i need some help from you thankyou

So amazing, so thank you for making this video

I'm not very handy, would I be able to buy an acrylic box from you? I think i can do the rest!

I’m trying to get this to work with catia

1. Goldfish are carp. They go in ponds because they grow multiple feet. Do research before buying any live creature. Is it a goldfish? Research goldfish. Is it a betta fish? Research bettas. Hell, is it a mud turtle? Research mud turtles. Every creature is different. 2. Wtf bleaches their soil??????????????????? This was new to me. Heads up to those who don't know, don't do this. It's dangerous and defeats the point of the soil. "I pumped out the bleach wat-" NO. STFU. Don't ever freaking do this! This should be astoundingly obvious. This entire part was bewildering and truly upsetting to watch as a fish keeper. You wanna prep soil for the tank? Put it in the oven on low for a while. DO NOT BLEACH IT. 3. "No chemicals" Try again. You got that part wrong. I came here after finding your design on thingiverse and was excited to see but then the goldfish and the bleach had me on the verge of pulling my hair out. The only time you will EVER need bleach in this hobby is if you have plastic plants/decor and even then the bleach NEVER goes in the tank. You pull the plastic decor out, wash it in a separate container with a light amount of bleach to kill algae, rinse thoroughly, then place back in the tank. That's it. All of that aside (but unable to be forgotten), this was decent looking in the end. I'd put a pre filter around that pump so when the mollies breed you don't have babies getting sucked into the impeller but other than that the filter setup is pretty stellar.

Great video!I am looking for a powerful spindle that can mill the metal and make metal mold. which one can you recommend?

Thanks

This is great video! I learned how to do it in ONE video only. Thank you!

Thank you

Awesome. Thank you

My brother you need a band saw its after and will allow you to make complex curves. THANKS for the tip on routing the outline then cutting out the parts later, it would save HOURS on production time. 😊

Saludos desde Colombia, como siempre son muy bien explicados tus videos, grande trabajo y espero que sigas haciendo este gran aporte para todos aquellos inmersos en el mundo del CNC

You know what people need to know and how to make them understand,,its ridiculously awesome ❤❤❤

hello, i cant find the video that you mentioned early in the video , about how to make any plasma cutter HF "free", or how to wire the ground to clamps , and to which clamps ?

Increíble video ! Compré la misma cortadora gracias a tu video, eres un influencer jaja Estoy armando mi primera cnc y lo que me falta ahora es el compresor, de cuantos litros es tu compresor ? Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾

Hello, your video and information have been invaluable for my Plasma CNC project. Thank you very much for your selfless contribution and I congratulate you on your project.

Man Good Job.! But I still Have doubts in that Probing Section..! Please help! So the M3 Command will turn on the torch right? But How the probing is done by the limit switch..!? I am still confused! Please clarify the Z home pin and Probe pin intentions..! I still have no clear idea about how the controller starts the arc after probing and triggering that limit switch Thanks

Lot of unwanted talking has made the video so long...😡

Just got my 1st CNC a few months ago and wanted to do some upgrades.Your video is excellent and I will be catching up on the rest of your videos. A new sub and thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

Good Yoga friend.

Nice work. Do you think a wood holder could handle a hand held router?

Dude, you totally rock. Thanks 👍👍👍

Hi, can we use this seal for additional leakage protection, and how many years will it last?

Hi Minh I would be pleased to send you a copy of my vero board for your filter it is quite small and simple makes building the filter quite easy. You can pass it on to others if you wish. I would need an email address to do so. I have a feeling you reside in Canada?

I watched so many videos which left me confused. This really helped me. Thank you!
