I bought JDs plans also and I’m finally getting started on buying the materials. Awesome job man. Keep up the awesome videos!

Nice man! I need these Aluminum ones in my life. What’s the cost and can I order them from you vendor or you directly?

Thank you so much for the plans!! I’m excited to get these done and in our coop!

Looks great, I'm here because although I like the low price of the JDs garage cnc I cannot get over the one sided cantilever design. I just couldn't bring myself to build something with a fundamental lack of rigidity. Especially when accuracy is the goal. Thanks for the videos. Agree with others all holes should have used drill press. Tubing wall too thin, definitely need anti crush tubes on that thin wall tubing.

Looking good mate. Built my first cnc a few years ago, they’re huge time sucks but the knowledge is priceless. One thing, you don’t solder the ferrules, they’re for screw terminals.

No way zna wins creativity

I've ordered everything today and I'm down to the stepper motors. Can you let me know the exact ones to get or point me to an Amazon equivalent?

What was the finished dimension? What is its capability?

Their ideas aren’t their ideas. JD directly copied (badly) the horrible Langmuir machine. In fact the Langmuir machine is actually a Chinese table once fraudulently branded as a USA machine. There’s not a single original component or design on the JD machine besides the swap from Langmuirs flimsy ACME screws to belts. Other then that they copied every single component including the linear bearing blocks.

Please reach out, id be interested in seeing if i can help you with those parts..

Man i shouldn't have watched now i want that not just the aluminum x,z part but the dual driven axis i like it all hmmmm very nice im with you on the 3dp stuff and i did print mine in petg at 100% infill i doubt it will last very long was thinking of trying to extend a shaft from one side to the other to tie the y's together either way i gotta build a complete other side all my electrical and electronics are done

Nice work 👍

Have you considered simplifying the design in order to reduce the price of that bearing block? I.e. Mounting the torch clamps directly to the block to remove a part and the slot on the face, using supported round rails on the gantry instead of the custom ball bearing setup to greatly reduce the machining required. If you switch to a 50x100mm / 2x4in (vertical) gantry, it would allow you to put two rails across the front, meaning that the "bearing block" is now just a flat plate that you could plasma cut out of thicker steel. (Then you can use some folded steel with a welded gusset for the motor support) That's the approach I'm leaning towards on my build, I just thought I'd point that out because the supported round rails are really cheap especially when you consider custom parts like this.

The 3d print should have been printed in its side, that way the layers are printed around the corner, stacking them on a weak point is asking for a break, also more skin layers 6 is a good starting point.. like what your doing keep it up..

I have to defend 3D printing a little bit because: I literally dissected and made my own part (in precise metric measurements, since I'm european), aaand printed it from two parts! No weird weak L shape, just two beautiful plates bolted together. I also used PLA+ (PLA enhanced with other plastics) with which I do a lot of moving parts. Bolts are also threaded into robust brass inserts, where I could I replaced plastic threads with captive stainless nuts. It cost me just time. But yeah, I dream of having alu parts one day too 😂

Hey great video!

👍🏻🤜🏻

Just an FYI, you dont need to add subtitles to your videos. KZfaq can auto generate them. Personally I find the imbedded ones distracting.

Sir i need Ignite hidden dragon steel nanchaka please have shop contact number please

Hello I want to thank you for the project process I managed to build it!!! The only problem that I have is whenever the plasma turns on, it kills my arduino and laptop.l and it resets everything. Can you maybe help me out with a bit of guidance , in how to sort this out ? Kr, Sam

Can you share the wiring for the two y motors? I am doing this exact setup

What did your tables cut size end up at? I'm wanting to do and 4'x4' or 4'x5' table

Thanks for this. Needed a simple instruction on how to. 👍🏻

hello.. can i got wiring scheme sir?

Love the build, I just ordered the electronics to get going on mine. Would love to use your extra X carriage on my build!

Its a fun idea but as I've found you will unfortunately run into a mold problem. If you go pick up some 2 or 3 inch pvc pipes you can still use those feeder heads and mount them around. I'm with the other commenter though. We run chincken tractors.

I like when someone is willing to tweek an already good design and make it their own. Been watching a lot of these for the past couple years and yet to build. ya might have just got me to do it.

Ive already tried this method and it caused a massive rat outbreak. I moved on to a chicken tractor and a regular feeder that I hang and always go out to feed a small amount once per day. The large trash can method might be fine though if you had like a 100 chickens all eating that up in like 1 or 2 days. I found that if you keep the chickens hungry in the morning, they will be encouraged to go out and forage for bugs and free range and then you go out and feed them towards the late evening before it gets dark, since you can make them follow you back into the coop/chicken tractor along with a tiny little solar light inside the coop.

Looking good 👍🏻 I have all the 3D printed parts done, one questions is did you get the same dimensions as the lang- pro table ?

My water table doesn’t eat smoke tho

ventilation maaaan

Plans will be great for the big design 👍🏻

I miss the funny image edit on the video

👍🏻🤜🏻🍺✌🏻☝🏻Will like to get one aluminum part, that looks😎

metric is much easier to understand.. and maybe more precise.. I don't know.. I was thinking how about to make machine to run, then cut and make parts with machine and replace the parts you cut by hand

No electrical engineer I know knows how to weld. When I graduated from mechanical engineering, I thought of rewarding myself The most amazing prize of all was an inverter MMA welding machine (But before that, it is necessary to get to the basics. My first internship was at a state-owned freight wagon factory and there they taught us welding We even did mig welding in a Lincoln electric brand simulator for the first try. Then we moved on to the part where wagon bumpers are manufactured. I learned about arc welding when I became friendly with the people there. Also on a welding machine with copper winding.) When I first bought the machine, I was so happy that it hurt my eyes because I was looking at the welding without a mask. Later, I continued my work by repairing defective TZDK product trailers, cultivators and plow tines in our village. I continued with the rutile electrode 6013 first and then the basic electrode 7018. So the whole story is enthusiasm Recently, a familiar hardware store advertised a 220 volt mig welding machine. I will buy it in the future and continue

Well, it is a good idea.

how much for a snail?

some metal snails would look really cute

Good idea. I have an unrelated question.Have you ever welded a square profile? I use box profiles a lot, especially in the construction of garden gates. I used two types of electric arc welding machines. Inverter and transformer type While the 2.5 mm 6013 electrode pierces the profile in a short time with the inverter type machine, the transformer welding machine with the same current does not pierce the profile. What do you think is the reason for this? And are transformer type welding machines suitable for welding thin materials?Note: I have an inverter type machine

Water table is the way to go

Watched all these videos

I'm waiting to build me one also

Awesome build

Great build I would be interested if you start building the parts out of aluminum

Also design your table slats with points on both sides, that way you can flip it over as it gets used up, it also helps water flow to your drain. The points can be as simple as a series of zigzag shapes.

I'm not knocking your ideas but you really need to configure a THC, torch height controller to help your plasma cutter do what its supposed to do. There are a ton of simple DIY examples of a controllable Z-axis that won't cost very much to add to your system. You'll thank me the first time you cut thin material and it warps from the heat. Its also a key factor to rate of consumables wear.

"Why do the work that other's have already done for you." The sole reason I'm watching your videos. I know you mentioned you had extra material to make more brackets, tell me how much. I live in Georgia, I'll take care of shipping if you are interested.
