I love this plasma table build. Without your plans and the very inexpensive cost, I would have never even tried to purchase a table. I have done so much with this table and enjoy it so much. Thanks for keeping the price low and always being so helpful when I reach out. Looking forward to THC.
In the process of your build. So far your plans and communication when I’m making mistakes have been outstanding! Appreciate the updated information as I just finished printing everything and am now sourcing the remaining supplies.
I built mine in late 22 and using scrap steel and purchased electronics it was under $350. I made mods and enlarged to 36x36 table. This thing works great and was easy to build.
The work you guys would have to put in to start a bare bones forum would be more than paid back by the users/community contributing and helping each other, building the knowledge base and doing a fair amount of the work for you. It would basically crowdsource 2/3 of your customer service.
I bought the plans a few months ago. I'm finally getting around to building. While my design for the table has changed the knowledge in your documentation is still well worth the price paid. Thanks and keep it up!
I bought your plans and the build is in progress. I am adjusting your plans to work with my existing table from Northern Tool. My X tubes have been changed out to 2" angle (1/8") and bolted to the table frame. Watching the various videos by you and several others convinced me to attempt this.
Currently building mine. I bought the plans when they first came out. Im trying to build it out of mostly repurposed steel. I'll send you pictures of my build when its done. Thanks again. Also looking forward to the thc
Hey hey I see my plazma table! Thanks for the great plans guys been using it a bit more lately, fusion 360 still hurts my brain lol but I’m slowly learning more stuff
I really liked the plasma table build video and bought the plans well over a year ago. One day I'll build it!! Old man syndrome!! LOL!! Thank you for your update video.
I have built this recently in the uk, the cost is alot higher now but still was worth it. main savings i made was getting the water pan folded up with a golden handshake and getting the 3d printed parts done professionally (again with a golden handshake) Unfortunately and this is no discredit to jd, but for $350 that is if you are already set up as 3d printing metal tooled wizard. It will cost you more if you are an average garage man but dont let it put you off - the plasma cutter and compressor will be your main cost.
Love the build Just ordered the plans. now the fun will begin keep up the great job you are doing making this so regular people can build something and lear along the way
Not related to the plasma table but I just received your Crosskart spool kit and all my other parts to start building my rear end. I’m so pumped thank you guys for what y’all do!
Despite my deepest respect for your work I will definitely encourage my fellow hobbyists to read my experience and reconsider whether this plasma build is your best way forward. I acquired the drawings from JDG invested and everything needed and here is my learning: Most of the stuff presented is linked to from US suppliers. Here in Northern Europe this means more than doubling the prices due to transportation and import fees. I spend a lot of hours searching for local suppliers and I only found prices far higher than suggested from JDG. The X-axes profile is described as a 50x50x1.5mm tube, and it cannot be replaced by profile with thicker walls. None of the European suppliers I work with does have this in stock since it is a rare size seldomly used. Despite my OK experience with 3D printing (Ender 3) I never ended up with acceptable prints. The printed objects have thick walls and 85% infill, which is beyond my 3D printing skills. I wasted more than a kilo premium filament trying. Conclusion: I found a cheap engraving machine on German EBay with almost the same work area. It took me 6 hours to change it to a plasma cutter and I spent the same amount as my JDG attempt
I buy tons of my steel from my local scrap yard!! I've got stacks of 1x, 2x, 4x, sheet of many different thicknesses, all for one low scrap metal price!! If you've got a scrap yard near you that allows you to buy scrap from them, check it out, maybe you can pick up on a few deals!!
Bought the plans back in July, cut up all the metal, but started traveling a lot for work. Recently got back to work on it and it's just about done. The plans and support are great. It's a fun project, now I will actually use my plasma cutter that has been sitting for years. I am over budget, but only because I only had a weekend to buy steel and the only place open jacked up the prices. I also added the Zone-axis. Now I just have to get comfortable using it. Thanks for all the effort you guys put into this.
I am currently at the wiring and electronics part and am a little over budget but I also bought the 3d printed parts and plates from you. I have also done some extras like drag chain for the wiring and a proper box to mount the electronics. Overall I am quite happy with the build instruction and plans.
i havent built mine but have the plans. really impressed with everything you guys do and how you keep updating the original offering. great tips on the steel and the hardware. i didnt know that about the hardware and when i was pricing it out through the big box stores things got wild quick.
Thanks again for making these drawings, I have made one basis same. But is it not a new drawing of a table we see in front of you? :) Looks like double rails?
My only advice is use aluminum tube for the x axis. Mine is great that way. Good to get updates on this. Mine is awesome. I like it better than the Langmuir Crossfire I have access to
If you have the tubing or access to it then yeah, why not...I used it for my x axis since it was lighter than steel and got 3 ft for $6. Won't rust or notably tarnish. I'll see how it wears with the steel rollers over time though
i just bought your plans and i’m trying to print everything out but have no idea how. u make a video on how to build it but not on we’re and how to print all the information you send us. are you able to help.
Holy shit. I remember running a plasmacam with torch height control in highschool and never imagined I would ever be able to afford one. As soon as I can come up with a place to store this, I'm building one.
I just picked up some 8’ Thomson linear motion rails for $100 each. It’s a rail, belt, bearing block and nema 34 motor mount and flex shaft coupler. Just need motors, drivers and a frame. He’s got 12’ units I can get for $150. I plan to buy all 20.
Our place just sells by kilograms. whatever you need whatever shape they'll cut. In the morning they drive around in town and deliver their parts - so free shipping included.
I just came across your budget build, and this video was posted 8 hours ago! Is it possible to increase the table size to say 4x4? If not that is not a problem, this will work for 90% of what I need it for, for the time being. I will be buying plans tomorrow! I am most likely going to be needing to order the 3d printed parts.
@timandrew4515 thank you, I guess I don't have notifications turned on for TH-cam. Hell I would be thrilled to have even a 24x24 if just to cut link tabs. I have a mud truck I bought and it needs to be rebuild. And I made shock tabs with my plasma last year.....ugh I made one just smaller then I needed and cut 16 of them, then drilled holes, unfortunately this proved harder because I got steel from work, half of it was 1/4 AR plate. Then bolted 16 tabs together in in 1 sets of 8 and went to town with the grinder. Did this with my 1 5/8" torsion bar 16" drop arms. Needless to say if I can eliminate grinding other then grinding a spot for the ground I just may be able to get projects done.
I bought the plans, still haven't built one yet. I already have a plasma table, just wanted to support some fellow minnesotans. I am looking forward to the release of the thc
Beautiful project guys! I’ve purchased the plans but i’m a bit confused from the electronics,can you make a detailed video about it,maybe it can be useful for people like me that don’t know much electronic stuff!Thank you!
scrap steel can be had at the steel yard especially if they offer cutting sevices. they often have a scrap bin they will sell you steel out of. also your local scrap yard often will re-sell steel tehy have taken as scrap. Locally-i have a scrap yard that has full sheets some times..
The "filtering" you are doing for the THC... ..... thats due to high frequency start plasma cutters, right? And after you add the filtration/isolation.....does that mean a high frequency start plasma cutter will then work correctly? One more question that I came up with.... Since you are building it yourself....there is really no limit on size....you COULD theoretically build one 4 times as big.........just change all the coordinates in the software, right? (probalby have to truss the arm a bit...maybe counter balance, but still doable, right?
Is the Z axis control required for thee rotary axis and THC? I also see that there is an Arduino R4 with has wifi and BT built in for nearly the same price as an R3. Would that be a good option?
As of today 3-12-2024 it can not be built in my area for under $350. The Amazon links for all the items listed in the kit not including the water pan was more than $350. Still a good deal in my opinion.
I think you are mistaken. the $350 cost is for X/Y axis only and no water pan. If you are in USA, Amazon links for this configuration is exactly as the video states.
One thing people need to know the software is a big issue fusion is web based not an offline program so for people without a dedicated internet the cost gets expensive
I bought the plans for the CNC table they are great. Easy to build. However , I just got to the point where I'm ready to make some cuts and my titanium 45 plasma cutter torch won't start off the switch relay for some reason. I check continuity on the torch trigger and on the relay. So I have the correct wires connected to the torch relay. When I fire the relay the torch won't start. But when I pull the torch trigger manually it fires no problem. Looking for any ideas that can help please?
@@SJB64 the trigger wires have to be spliced into inside the housing of the plasma cutter body. There are videos on TH-cam of how this is done. After you make the splice the trigger on the plasma cutter torch handle needs a piece of velcro around it so it can be held shut.
Saw the ndsu poster in the background are y’all from the Fargo area my dad wants me too learn too build this Cnc plasma table and was wondering if u guys are local if he’d just be able too buy some of the parts from ya in person.
I do mostly freehand plasma cutting for metal arts. However I do want to be able to do a few brackets and such. What really got me looking at this is the pipe notching add on. I use a lot of pipe in my studio projects and the angles and sizes are numerous. When I freehand them I end up doing a LOT of grinding. I have a Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 60i with an SL50 torch. I'm trying to figure out if I have to buy a different torch or can somehow modify this one or add a port to control the on/off. If anyone has done this I would be grateful to know. I'm not really sure where to start this portion.
Hey guys , i purchased the plans and the plastic kit a while back , interested in purchasing the upgraded instructions and tips and tticks if you have it in a manual ?
Hahaha the panning is funny as fuck, but seriously blokes your videos have been a wealth of knowledge and insight for me keep it up guys 💪🏽👌🏽 cheers from down under
Hey guys! I'm thinking about getting your plans and finally building that table. I'm a little concerned if I can get all the parts in europe. I guess you provide a shopping list of which things I need to buy don't you? Especially about the electric motors and all that stuff. Did you get any feedback about availability in EU?
What 3d printer do you use? What are the minimum requirements are needed for a 3-D printer to build these parts? Maybe you could do a video on your 3-D printer?
❤u guys rock but unfortunately mines a paper weight after paying someone over and over to help me mine still dont work still struggling understanding fusion 360 hopefully eventually mine will be rockin and rolling also over 500 into by tube bender that I still can't get right but it's user error me finding the wrong people to help!! thanks for the vids !!
Has anyone been able to use this table with an older miller plasma cutter? I have an old miller 375 x-treme with the ICE-27T torch and not sure if it will work as it’s not low frequency?
As much "FUN" as I am having with this project, I can't figure out how to install the post processor to Fusion 360. The vids I find talk about clouds and libraries and preferences none of which do they show how to find these things. I've watched your video, and it doesn't explain it either. I need an Idiots Guide to do this install. After 3 months doing this build that has had everything that can go wrong, go wrong I'm frustrated. After getting the wiring done, I find out the motor wires are supposed to have Drain wires. Never seen anything about that. The other thing I can' t find are the files to make the Z mounting plate or the files to make the roller if I decide to do that. Maybe I'm just stupid, or I have incomplete instructions I don't know. I am WAY over budget and still need the water pan and the slats, also no mention of slats. I seem to be the only guy having these problems. I don't have a young computer geek to turn to. I really need some clarification here.
How can it be only 350$? I made a few big heavy CNCs in last 10 years (with ESP32 and AtMega2560 electronics designed by myself, balls screws, NEMA 34 12.5Nm strong servo steppers, 2.2KW and stronger vfd water cooled spindles) so I can cut steel with these machines and OK it could be made for under 1000 euros. I made cheap 2.5" touchscreen THC. BUT!!! I spent 600 euros for 3x400V 100A plasma! It can not be found cheaper! How can you find so cheap under 350$ plasma?

I appreciate your concern with keeping this project cost to a minimum but honestly your table would still be a great value at twice the cost.
stop panning back and forth between both cameras im getting sea sick one video setup would have been fine
This.
😂😂😂😂
You can pan.. Just go to some B-roll first.. and then come back on the other camera. It won't look so deliberate
I love it I couldn’t stop laughing 😂

why aluminium?

Just for the record Arduino's are $28 now on Amazon as well as the OEM Website. Still excited to begin the assembly proccess!
Clones will work just fine for this project as well and they are much cheaper.
Very very interesting project, can the X and Y axis be elongated, so it can work in bigger steel area
I just found your channel, I totally look forward to learning more. Awesome content
Excellent job, I’m going to go back and watch your build. How many hours do you think you have on it?

Fusion 360 is still free for personal use. FreeCad also has CAM and post processors for grbl so it should work.
Is it possible to make this a bigger table with just more square tubing or does a lot have to change like the programming?

@@rhinons7353I’m interested in a 4’ square. Can you help me out with how you scaled it. I’m worried the cantilevered gantry will sag at 4’.
@@daviddetmer4646 it's all explained in the plans
how much sag in the cantilever arm?
I have a Eastwood Versa Cut 40 Amp Plasma Cutter will it work with the plans?
id like to print my own 3d printed parts i looked on your site but only see the pre printed parts
The .STL files for printing your own parts are included in the plan package.
Have you had any experience with a YESWELDER CUT-65DS plasma cutter?
❤u guys rock but unfortunately mines a paper weight after paying someone over and over to help me mine still dont work still struggling understanding fusion 360 hopefully eventually mine will be rockin and rolling also over 500 into by tube bender that I still can't get right but it's user error me finding the wrong people to help!! thanks for the vids !!
i have had good luck using sheetcam for the cam and design spark for cad, Fusion was too confusing in the cam portion
@@TheBuzzman289 thanks so so much sir I'm gonna give that a go !!
@@TheBuzzman289 I'm just so far into time and money wise just want to see it cut some metal
Do You Itself at its best!
For the electronic enclosure I got a hf screw bin for $15.
Love mine thanks
THC when?
hello is it posible for me to buy one already built coz wea i come from some parts wud be very hard to get.
this is amazing
Hi there where can I buy your parts?
not in Australia closer to $1000 here
Has anyone been able to use this table with an older miller plasma cutter? I have an old miller 375 x-treme with the ICE-27T torch and not sure if it will work as it’s not low frequency?
The cinematography is amazing.
On my list of things to build, my 3d printed parts arrived safe and sound a few months ago still not go round to it 😂😂😂
awesome video
Now I know this takes it way out of the price range, but has anyone built one using 2x2 aluminum instead of steel?
Love the content, love you guys, appreciate you trying new things cinematically, let's give this dual camera interview a pass next time
I’m over $700 into the build using the BOM and still haven’t bought any hardware, steel or plasma cutter.
lol.. you spend money like a woman
Aliexpress will save you a bomb
M5 fasteners are expensive, I have changed all the ones I can to more common M6
As much "FUN" as I am having with this project, I can't figure out how to install the post processor to Fusion 360. The vids I find talk about clouds and libraries and preferences none of which do they show how to find these things. I've watched your video, and it doesn't explain it either. I need an Idiots Guide to do this install. After 3 months doing this build that has had everything that can go wrong, go wrong I'm frustrated. After getting the wiring done, I find out the motor wires are supposed to have Drain wires. Never seen anything about that. The other thing I can' t find are the files to make the Z mounting plate or the files to make the roller if I decide to do that. Maybe I'm just stupid, or I have incomplete instructions I don't know. I am WAY over budget and still need the water pan and the slats, also no mention of slats. I seem to be the only guy having these problems. I don't have a young computer geek to turn to. I really need some clarification here.
amazing
How can it be only 350$? I made a few big heavy CNCs in last 10 years (with ESP32 and AtMega2560 electronics designed by myself, balls screws, NEMA 34 12.5Nm strong servo steppers, 2.2KW and stronger vfd water cooled spindles) so I can cut steel with these machines and OK it could be made for under 1000 euros. I made cheap 2.5" touchscreen THC. BUT!!! I spent 600 euros for 3x400V 100A plasma! It can not be found cheaper! How can you find so cheap under 350$ plasma?
The 350 is just for the table.. It's assumed that you would already get a plasma cutter.
@@calholli I spent more than 800€ but still no first cut th-cam.com/video/yzTg5Sby9wA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VchJ4Exd_5xFy1a9
Where's the cost of the plans? 😅
