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?
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
@@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
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
classic Zepplin tune ...nice video as well...thanks for sharing 😎👍
very nice build!
A good plasma cutter for home, I will also need to make a second MPCNC for plasma
are you still youing it today, amd if so how is it work
there is a schematic of electronics and soft for download somewhere

VERY NICE, CAN WE GET A REVIEW OF THE WORK FLOW AND PARTS USED???PLEASE

Is a full build, apparently a new version of the mpcnc available now though

What programs do you use for this?
Use estlcam to generate the code and repetier host to control the machine
