Middle Budget DIY CNC Plasma Table Cost 4’ X 5’ Using Proma Myplasm Controller

[@3dconceptsofutah757]

Nice table! Thank you for showing it and explaining your setup! I have a homemade 4x8 router I have run for about 15 years and continue to beef it up over the years. Now I've built an ultra cheap plasma but will be upgrading it already ;-D. Looks like you started with a winning build. Thanks!

Thanks!!!!

[@KMLTimesTwo]

Good looking table! I have the langmuir table so I cheated. This table is more robust and cheaper! Nice work. Yes, water table is a must!

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Thanks!

Thanks Josh! Great video!🥽🍻

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Glad you liked it!

Nice table... I'm in progress of building my own, JD's garage model, a copy of Langmuir crossfire. If i knew what i know now, i would go with a project like yours, because Arduino controller in that project is not a big deal... MyPlasm cnc controller looks to be a lot easier to deal with. The table i'm building is a 2 by 3 foot, this will be my 1 of 2 project, probably going with a 4 by 4 at the next step, but with the MyPlasmcnc controller. Thanks for the video.

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

It will be worth it I can assure you! Thanks for watching!

[@8SecSleeper]

Nothing at all wrong with Arduino

[@itsNuTz]

Is there anyway you can breakdown your parts list in more depth, like the specifics about what motors you used ext.?

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Im still learning this whole KZbin thing but if you would like to email me I would gladly send you all of the information. [e-mail]

[@flyinpolack6633]

looks great!

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@robertpiewald785]

Can you maybe tell something about how the thc is wired inside your plasma cutter?

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

look for a video on that very soon!

[@itsNuTz]

This is right in line with what I'm trying to do, what exact motors are u running?

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Stepper Online Nema 24 Closed Loop for the X Axis and Stepper Online Nema 23 Closed Loop for the Y Axis (2) and a standard Nema 23 for the Z Axis. The Nema 23 kit (Motor and driver) on Scamazon was 95$ each and the Nema 24 kit was 115$.

Cool cat

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Thanks!!

[@5eZa]

nice shop kitty

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

The best!!

[@incolink]

So what motors are they at what drive ratio and what's the max travel speed ?

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

There is a video on my channel that goes over everything that was purchased to build the table. I believe the were NEMA 34 motors...

[@MrMountaincycle]

what size ball screw are you using, 16mm or 20mm? thanks!

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Mine is using a 16mm Lead Screw.

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

Can this be scaled for a 5x10 table?

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Sure! I was going to do the same but cost was my limiting factor..

[@delvemetalworkstj]

Hi, I was watching your video and I was wondering if you have the list of the items you bought to built a plasma like yours

[@uwuweewee]

Good job

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Thanks!!

[@delvemetalworkstj]

Hi I am subscribe to your channel and I was wondering if you have a list of the materials you used to builg your cnc plasma mid budget machine, I have been wanting to make one, strongly appreciate if you could give me a hand with that

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

I don’t really have a list per say, there is a video where I go on Amazon and show each part I ordered and quantity but that’s about the best I have at the moment. I plan to build another one very soon (I got called away to work…) and there will be a full list and breakdown of everything for the new one. Stay tuned, I should be starting that project really soon.

[@MoonBuiltGarage]

I'm in the process of building my own 2x4 table right now, and I'm getting to the point that I need to start looking at the electronics...

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

I would HIGHLY suggest the Proma Myplasm controller! I knew absolutely nothing about CNC and all of the research I did led me to the Proma system and I'm so glad I did! Very easy to wire and the software has been great! I paid 450$ for the controller and THC as a kit. It can be done for cheaper but you better know computers way better than me...

[@MoonBuiltGarage]

@@OldBarkerRanch1981 I've been looking at the Proma for the THC...I just ordered the CNC controller, power supply and stepper drivers, so the THC will probably come into play once I get the basics working

[@jvagrusa]

@@OldBarkerRanch1981 you got it at a great price...looks like it jumped up a lot! Their kit with drivers is the whole cost to you $1800!

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

I only bought the CNC Controller and THC from them, all of the motors and drivers were sourced elsewhere. I have a video on the entire cost breakdown and where I got the parts.

[@MrPlanecaptain]

Well 450 is a smoking deal. Contoller and thc is 700 now.

[@OldBarkerRanch1981]

Automation Technologies is still 459.99 as of 2/20/23 and 469.99 on Ebay New.
