MPCNC plasma cutting 3mm steel
Plasma cutting flanges from 3mm plate, added steel kopex to the plasma to try reduce noise related electronics failure. No failure so far, maybe it helped?

classic Zepplin tune ...nice video as well...thanks for sharing 😎👍
What software to you use?
Use estlcam, fine for what I need
@@trogdor40k okay thanks, what settings must be done for start and stop the pilot arc? maybe with an relay?
are you still youing it today, amd if so how is it work
there is a schematic of electronics and soft for download somewhere

Curious how the machine has worked out for you, over time? Been too busy until now to get into bench top Cnc, but ready to take the plunge. mpcnc is a kit I am evaluating. Not sure how the plastics will do with use. Further, curious about tolerances, repeatability etc.
It's been fine for my needs, but I'm not looking for micron accuracy, +- 0.5mm is acceptable with the plasma. For what it cost I can't fault it, the plastics have held up surprisingly well, especially the burner bar brackets that I didn't think would stand a chance
Servus, Wie steuerst du den Plasmaschneider an ?
I love this but you mentioned you built it over a year. Do you still think its a good options or id there any changes you would make if doing it again?
Biggest change would be research and implement cable shielding. It's working not bad as is but failures are very annoying halfway through a cut. Any other changes just start getting expensive, such as better quality plasma, proper rails, etc. This one has shown me the benefits of a CNC plasma though and I will be building a decent one in the future
A good plasma cutter for home, I will also need to make a second MPCNC for plasma
Was that a common occurrence, or a rare event?
It sounds like a lot of the guys doing CNC plasma are having issues with electrical interference. What are the most important concepts you've learned to protect against it?
I built a MPCNC plasma cutter last year and had no problems with interference, only had a problem with rigidity as I made it large enough to take full size steel sheets. ran it on an old 3d printer RAMPS board, shielded cables for the stepper motors and a plasma cutter with a pilot arc start triggered with a 12v dc relay
Get a cut50” low frequency pilot arc non touch start plasma cutter. Since it’s low frequency no need to worry about shielding and interference . Dr.d flo has a great video on yt
VERY NICE, CAN WE GET A REVIEW OF THE WORK FLOW AND PARTS USED???PLEASE
www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/mpcnc-plasma-cutter.95890/ Is a full build, apparently a new version of the mpcnc available now though
@@trogdor40k im thinking about build the primo verson with the plasma cutter the electronics has me scared as ive seen so many persons heaving trouble with interference and false homing etc
What programs do you use for this?
Use estlcam to generate the code and repetier host to control the machine
very nice build!
Can you share the stl file to the clips?
www.thingiverse.com/thing:4776354 try this
@@trogdor40k very nice thank you
Can you send me please the 3D file for the working table clips?
Sorry for the delay, try this www.thingiverse.com/thing:4776354
@@trogdor40k thanks, which filament and which colour is it?
@@4unboxing nothing special, just purple pla. Think it was from a roll of ziro filament? Anything will do, although plastic isn't the best material for a plasma table.. more a proof of concept, if you plan lots of use I would try and use something more durable
Sweet
I have had an mpcnc for a couple years and have been thinking of converting it to cnc, I'm using the arduino ramps display setup. I have only used it with a router using gcode with the sd card. What software are you using to run it with the plasma? I read that you were using a laptop, mine isn't currently attached to a computer, but it could be!
I am (was) using repetier host, seems to work well. Not done anything for a while though!
What plasma are you using?
It's just a generic cut50p think it's from argonarc?
@@trogdor40k did you have to do any extra shielding or anything
@@jeffordsra as much as you can, it's a pilot arc plasma but very cheap and noisy. Was using a ramps 1.4 system but found the display/usb controller was getting crazy glitches. Switched to a long usb cable and laptop as far from the plasma as I could with much better results. If your building one shield everything you can in the early stages
@@trogdor40k okay great thanks i will
@@trogdor40k This is a great project. Can you dedicate a video to showing how you shield your cables and the details of how you ground those shields?
Great machine mate.
Great machine
Покажи как подключил плазму и ТНС
Nice setup buddy! I have sn mpcnc too. Just subbed
Excellent this cable used to motors, what the name?
Sorry, just noticed this. I have added a link to the build in the description that should answer any questions
What plasma model are you using?
It is just a generic CUT 50 but the pilot arc version
