My question is...I built Ver1, so can I just do the controller swap, and will buying the new plans allow me to do just that...only change out the controller? Not sure I'm in a hurry, since the machine works perfectly as is...but I'd like the knowledge of the upgrade path... t
Wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the cnc plasma community. I built this table last year and enjoyed every part of it. The insight of how everything works is worth the cost alone. I have learned so much- actually just broke this machine down and built a second bigger one. I am in the process of laser cutting a plasma torch holder out of acrylic for it now. Props to y’all for continually updating your design. Much love from Texas! ❤
For yall complaining about buying it again. Come on, let's be real. It's only 25 bucks, and it looks like he has attached videos and goes as far as a step by step on wire measurements and placement to make it easier. Its worth every dime.
This is a revision of the original plan and then an update, for all of those who supported this project from the beginning will find this unfair because they already paid for the plans. If you buy a cybertruck and the pedal gets stuck or there is an update to enhance the vehicle you get that update for free as part pf the package of buying the truck, is not like you bought a cybertruck and want a model X.. same thing should apply in here, if you paidd for the original project all updates within the projects should come with it and not charge the customer update after update that's what separate a person with integrity from a person that just looks to milk every cent possible from customers.
What most folks seem to want to know is when will the XL plans be ready. And what will the cost be. I certainly understand and appreciate all the work, time and effort y'all have put into this project and the constant improvements. Thank you
I've been complaining that I feel they don't charge enough for the product they offer. Considering that its simply a Father/Son team and they even respond personally to emails. I'll gladly pay more for what they do. Thank you for all you do JD's
i bought both plans. I really like this second generation set. I didn't build the first one but I will build the second. I already ordered all the electronics & will build my controls first. after that I will build the frame. So far so good! Also these plans are a steal for sure!
Love the 2.0 version. I switched to the ESP's from Arduinos a while back as well and it was a great move for me, happy you all did that. Due to your popularity ,the digital plan is the only way you guys would ever be able to keep up and I know you know that and on the bright side no customer will ever loose their instructions :)
Just defended thesis successfully for MS EE! For grant fulfillment of the MBRACE project, we too moved from an Arduino (Nano) to an ESP32. There is simply so much more connectivity I/O and communication wise that it was a no-brainer. In addition, the DIY community is also making the transition which has so many benefits now and for the future. One thing is that the Arduino microntroller prototype boards also have breakout-boards similar to that of the ESP32 for a small cost. Remember, these are prototype boards with what most folks will need to get started. At the end of our journey, we will create a custom board that the students will stuff. Maybe your son could create such a custom board or daughter-card to make the process easier or facilitate a plug and play turn-key option. Thanks, and keep up the revisions and great service to the community.
i think this is cool seeing mulitple open source type projects moving to the esp32, congrats on your MS btw. plus the v1 engineering stuff (mpcnc and lowrider cnc) is all running on ryan's jackpot now(esp32 based)... so if a lot of the DIY folks are all running the same Sh!t then this will get way easier and cross compatible. PPL can build whichever flavor they want (JD or V1e) depending on what works for you at the time... i bought the stuff for a lowrider and built one and i'm buying the plans from JD right now... so i don't think its competitive as much as it is collaborative at this point and i'd like to think everyone agrees about this.. in a similar way to how ppl have done open source with 3dPrinting but i'm sure there are a few who don't. one thing i know is that we are probably all better off working together than we are separate. everyone stands to gain a lot from being able to afford the tools they need to bootstrap their own business.
Just got notice that my THC shipped. Can't wait to get that running. I see you say it's not really needed but it's like having Cragers on my old LeMans. The ol' girl didn't go any faster with shinny wheels but she sure looked good getting there! I'll be upgrading to the ESP32 Controller as soon as I get the THC working. $25 for the upgrade to V2.0 is a bargain with all the information that comes with it. I have added cooling fans to my control panel with a carbon filtered intake and color coded name plates for the aviation connectors. Still doesn't go any faster but looks really cool and it's easier to get the cables connected properly
Love what you guys are doing. I bought the Langmuir Crossfire just before they introduced their pro model and for the level/quantity of work I’m using it for, I would have gone for your setup all day long!
This is a mega update. I live in Phoenix AZ, it's 110°+ consistently. I cant work in the garage that's 115°. So i was hoping to get the enclosure and electronics built and ready THEN i can build the frame in the garage. But, i'm a newb into all of this and had no point of reference for the enclosure for wire length and so on. I needed to build the frame first, then i know how long i need to make things and mount things. The enclosure update is the one i needed the most and this is exciting. I literally have all the parts, just need cooler weather to work lol but now, i can do it two stages!
Glad to hear the documentation has been improved, boy that first set of instructions were brutal. Obviously grateful for everything Jd has done but got to call it as it is.
BIG THANK YOU to these guys! Fast responses ! Just ordered my 3d printed parts from them. I can do it myself BUT i want to support this channel! Great job guys!
I am interested in the XL version of this like many others. Is there an email list or something so I can be notified when the plans for it drop? Also, will the 3d printed parts be the same for the XL? I am literally halfway through printing them now and would like to know whether I should continue or not on them. I literally had all the items in my cart and ready to check out when I double checked to see if there was anything else I might have missed and went to check the waterbed design one more time. Glad I did.
What an upgrade, I am definitely going to get the ESP 32 Controller instead of the Arduino I have now. What are the measurements for the electrical enclosure you are showing? Again, great work you have done. And I love the table I have made, on the basis of your plans.
I purchased the previous version and have not completed the electrical yet. Will these new plans have the new parts listed like the box and the 32bit processor? when will the all in one be available?
A forum would be awesome. The community could help answer questions, share tips/tricks, etc etc. There is nothing preventing one of us from starting a simple forum on Discord. I couldn't do it, but my friend says a quick and dirty forum would take about 10 minutes to set up in Discord, and a nice version maybe 20-30 minutes. And if the community runs it, it's one less thing JD's garage has to do. I understand their reluctance to take on another project when they are busy banging out the technical upgrades and plans.
Nope, I am in the same boat. They are saying the new plans are a new product, I call bullshit... Its the same damn machine with upgraded electronics. It would be like going to update your PC and being charged for the privilege. I own a lot of equipment and no one does it this way. I will not be paying for the update...
@@interstellarspacesolutions $25 bucks is a steal of a deal for the plans package. Even if one had to purchase the updated plans, think about the value you're getting! The updated controller, the itemized listing of all the pieces and parts in the control box, the added features in the control box, the updated troubleshooting G code, etc. These guys are doing a LOT of work for not much return... all of the hours to update and add links to the plans, the testing, etc. It's a HELL of a deal...
@@joncraw29 I am, but there are lots of free sources for plasma cutter plans. I bought these plans to support small business. That said we can agree to disagree but this is not a new product. Its a product update which I have never had to pay for. It is not the money, do not care about the money.
I understand the need to jump to a new plan. I recently bought the old plan and haven't built it yet. I don't mind dropping another 25 bucks for the new and improved plans. As noted by others, it's still dirt cheap for what you are getting. Having said that.......what if I buy the upgraded plans and next week JD's Garage publishes the plans for the new 4x8 table????? Will there be an upgrade price? Will that plan cost $25 also? I am guessing that will be a new product and I will again have no problem spending another 25 bucks. If the plans for the big table are more like 50 bucks, it would be nice to have an upgrade path for $25. Either way, *I'm in!*
Not cool you guy's where not communicating about this when i bought the plans. i bought the plans not so long ago. Your "2.0" plan was not made from one day to another. You should have mentioned on your webshop, "2.0" was comming. instead of cashing 2 times...
Are current plan holders of the discontinued version going to be grandfathered in for the 2.0 version? I personally dont mind paying for it again, but some folks could be on a tight budget. I haven't built the machine yet but have the bought the plans and have the entire BOM in the garage.
I already bought the old version with the intention of building a larger model. I even bought an additional stepper motor and driver for it. I was about ready to 3d print the parts. I’ll skip buying this 2.0 version and look forward to buying the XL version. Any idea how long before the plans are ready for it?
I bought the plans and 3D printed all the parts over a year ago. I have all of the parts from Amazon bought in a box too. Frame pieces are cut to length but nothing is drilled yet. From this point should I just start the plans over for the electronic portion? I need to figure out which electronic pieces I have need to be swapped out like the board you mentioned. Also I guess I was lucky because I bought the same Nema box with a clear lid. My question is how hot does it get in there with the power supply?
Using the Z axes on your plasma cnc table, have you guys concidered making a jig to convert this table into a CNC router table? And is it possible to do from your build plans?
Ok, when I order the new plans do I replace all my motors plus the electronic controls or can I use my existing motors and replace the electronics on the new control system. I'm also interested in new control board
The ESP32 is a great micro controller. Be aware there are serval different incarnations of the ESP32 which makes things confusing. I'm assuming the ones you're using are based on the Xtensa microcontroller (ESP32-WROOM-32, ESP32-S2, and ESP32-S3 should all Xtensa microcontroller). There are also versions of the ESP32 with RISCV based microcontrollers. I'm assuming these are to be avoided for this project. Also, the board that you referenced a screw terminal breakout board and not a hat. Instead of the Uno, you could have used an Arduino Nano with a screw terminal block, but the ESP32 is better for sure. Once I get some projects off the table, I'm definitely going to get the plans for this CNC table. I have a PrimeWeld CUT60 plasma cutter that I need to put to use. For the 3D printed parts, my son has a Bambu that prints great!
Looks like a great new machine. I bought plans 2 months ago and have just started cutting steel tube for the frame after collecting all of the parts from the previous bill of materials. Do I get free access to the new plans and will any of the steel parts change or am I safe cutting all tubing and plate steel parts?
If this is a new product will the XL version of the table you posted on your "shorts" be a new product to? I bought the original plans 2 months ago with the intention of making the table bigger but if your going to release plans for a larger table I'm not going to purchase the updated design for the small table and then turn around and purchase plans for the big table if it gets released. So I guess my question is will the large table be apart of the updated 2.0 plans or will it have its own plans?
Will you be doing an “electronics upgrade only” version for those with the previous version? Not criticizing, just curious as I’m got my frame built and about to start on wiring for the Arduino version. Love what you guys are doing! And can’t wait for my first cut!
What you are really saying by "all digital", is that you can't print out things you need to see while out in the shop where there is no WiFi. This is a MAJOR handicap!🥴 But you don't tell people up front that everything is locked down. You just make it sound like all digital is the greatest thing since peanut butter for us, but it is just for you that this is good.😮
Brilliant. Any recommendations to what CNC to buy? Given the cost of the project and my budget, I'd easily be inclined to aliexpress something, but is there any recommendations?
I bought the building instructions from you a few months ago and have already obtained all the parts for the electrical system, such as the Arduino uno. Will the plasma cutter still work well with the Arduino when it is finished? And is it time-consuming to convert to the new controller afterwards?
Going through the old plans, it states 4 walls for the 3D prints with a .08 nozzle. Am I correct in assuming to do 8 walls for a .04 nozzle? The reason I ask is I have multiple printers and while I could certainly print with an .08 nozzle, I would print some of the smaller items on a smaller printer. Just trying to get clarification. Thanks for the great content.

Is wiring same as old except adding new processor? Are plans updated automatically as changes are added? Thanks great job.
I am confused about 1 thing.
Are the instructions a downloaded file or an online read only file ?
My question is why not use a cnc shield with the arduino and skip the external drivers?
I bought the building instructions from you a few months ago and have already obtained all the parts for the electrical system, such as the Arduino uno. Will the plasma cutter still work well with the Arduino when it is finished?
And is it time-consuming to convert to the new controller afterwards?
Yes the old machine will still work fine. As of now all of our videos were done with the arduino setup. It would take 1-2 days to make the conversion.
Thanks for the reply, I will probably buy the new package so I don't have to do the work twice.
do you sell these controlers? do they do torch height? sent a contact on your website
Is there afree up grade for version before this one ?
Does it mean that if you've made the "old" machine with the arduino, that you should back up that sketch, because it might not be available now?
No it doesn't the old version of the plans will not go away, it just won't be for sale anymore.
Going through the old plans, it states 4 walls for the 3D prints with a .08 nozzle. Am I correct in assuming to do 8 walls for a .04 nozzle?

Yes this would be correct.
Glad i hadnt pulled the trigger on thr plans lol. Have you guys entertained a lead or ball screw version of your machine?
How much closer to the Langmuir Systems Crossfire do you want it to be?
@@kello711 HI! If you watch some of JD original videos, they actually planned on going with leadscrews but in the spirit of cost savings opted for the belt system. To answer your question, as close as possible while still building it myself as I have a couple tweaks in mind 👌
Do you sell the controllers and everything i need if i buy plans for this build?
I guess I'm just lost about the electronic parts. Is that supplied to buy? A full list of items needed along with the build
Heck of a deal...i blow 25 at McDonald's every week.
