I wonder if that's a common challenge for diy CNC. I have a machine that's already built, but the controller is ancient and obscure and I just kind of lost motivation to get it running properly. Hardware is easy for me, but fusing that with electronics and software is when my brain clocks out to look for other shiny objects to play with.

said it before but i just want to drive it home.... I watch a ton of different DIY channels on YT, this right here "Cranktown City" is by far the most fun and engaging to watch. I love your humor and the "we´ll see" attitude you bring. I understand the ammount of problemsolving and grind that goes into the build that just dont get on film, i am amazed at the speed of wich you blast through these projects. Be safe and keep the spirit up brother

Yep and yep. Looks to be an interesting build, and definitely along the lines I've been thinking for a dual role (steel and dead tree carcass) small footprint machine for myself. I just hadn't got past the dream it up fully stage quite yet. Seeing your design gives me hope, and the answer is as above for both questions.

Just wanted to say that I'd love to see a little more detail about the programming and electronics side of your projects.. I wouldn't say go full nerd cause there is plenty of that out there.. I like the fact that you let your mistakes show and I'm glad you made the choice to "lower the bar" I let perfection stand in the way of starting a lot of my own projects and watching you jump first encourages me to loosen up and do a thing regardless of it being right the first time! Keep at it!

Great video. Nice to see that the best laid plans may still have a small flaw. It teaches people that even if you think it's perfect, some minor thing can make a mess of the plans. Oh wait... you said you weren't a role model... I think you're a perfectly good role model! I suspect your solution to the problem will be ingenious!

Looking forward to your next video on this plasma table and seeing how it turns out. I am building a cnc 4x4 plasma table. Was going to make it over size and make a support so I can put a full 4x8 sheet on it so it hangs off the end and is supported but actual cutting will be 4x4. Going to be rollers on the edge to I can move the sheet in as needed. That is the plan anyway lol. Got everything ordered, Everlast PowerPlasma 82i, got here yesterday and I made a few test cuts. Using 1700mm/66 inch linear rails, arriving today. Figure that should give me a true cutting area of 4x4 plus, but we will see. I will have to see how long the included ball screws and rail trucks/bearings actually are and see what my true cutting zone will be. I was going to use 1500mm but up sized at the last minute. if it is way to big I can always cut down the rails and ball screws.

yes on the Linux CNC. how do you plan on dealing with the smoke? I saw some people make a down draft table using one of those 6inch in line duct fans but their table was like a third of the size of this. love the idea of the plasma table being on its side. really cuts down on the space it takes and probably make placing a heavy sheet on it easier. might be problamatic with parts falling behind the sheet as its cutting. might need to design the parts to leave tabs so they need to be tapped out once the job is finished.

I think the tutorial/documentation for the control side of stuff would be obscenely valuable. I don't plan on building one anytime soon, but how you mentioned there wasn't a whole lot of pertinent information out there is all the reason to add it. We've all been in that situation where we're scrounging through the googler looking for an answer to a specific question and finding nothing. Or rather seeing that one forum post with 7 replies and our hopes get dashed once we realize it's 1 post from OP and 6 others from other people wondering if they ever found and answer to the question.

This reminds me why I now add all the nuts, bolts and screws to a 3D model on parts that move. You are doing a grate job as you always do. I love the way you have put it on its side, but I think you may need a Screw instead of the 10mm Timing Belt, when the power to the stepper motor is turned off, the trolley may drop to the floor. Perhaps split the aluminium part in two so you can spread those pieces apart, leaving a gap for the rollers on third rail.
