    DIY 3D Printed CNC Plasma table based on JD's Garage plans

    I'm hoping JD garage will post their version of a torch height controller sometime soon, I surely see the benefits.

    DIY 3D Printed CNC Plasma table based on JD's Garage plans

    Controller is Openbuilds running on a Arduino board, So far it does what I need. Pretty shallow learning curve. Can't beat it for the price, but keep in mind my limited experience.

    DIY 3D Printed CNC Plasma table based on JD's Garage plans

    I used .6 nozzle for mine, and actually printed most stuff in PETG. If I remember correctly I used a 0.45 or .04 layer height. I think the rest of the settings where fairly close to what they recommended. I don't think there is a huge time saving between .6 and a .8 based on what I've seen on...

    Tractor 55" Grapple Build

    hahaha! As long as it isn't with your address, she's mean! My tractor technically has a third function valve, but I can't control it from the loader joystick. (additionally that valve has a diverter added to it also. I use it to rotate the and tilt my snow blower chute) I was look at the valve...

    Tractor 55" Grapple Build

    That's what I ordered. Its electric over hydraulic. Tap into the curl/ dump lines so that when you press the button on the joystick it diverts the flow from there to grapple cylinders.

    Tractor 55" Grapple Build

    You sold me... ordered a diverter valve. By the way, my wife wants to know where to find you for some reason?

    Tractor 55" Grapple Build

    It isn't plumbed yet... I'm planning to run it off of the rear remotes, at least for now. Kind of a pain needing too joysticks, but better than how I move stuff now. I'm getting a quote for hard lines along the loader boom, hoses for the rest.

    Tractor 55" Grapple Build

    ToplessHO, I love my 4310! the tines on your root rake look more slender and seem to have more stick out than mine. Is it made from regular mild steel? I cut mine from AR400, which is tougher. The tines also have a triple layer at the ends which are welded to the bottom depth gauge. I managed...

    Tractor 55" Grapple Build

    We had a pretty bad hurricane blow across our island last fall. My property sustained quite a lot of tree damage. Thought I could use tractor to help out with the clean up. So I modeled up a grapple and had a buddy cut it out on his plasma table. Heavily influenced by Everything Attachments...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    From the picture, it looks like you should increase the tension a little bit on your wire spool. It should be just tight enough to not roll back to allow that slack you can see on the wire.

    Fordkid's ADHD Fabrications

    I've had some issues with missed cuts also. what i did was went back to my model and removed features that where already cut and reprocessed the gcode. Works good as long as you haven't moved the material and you origin point. There's likely a better way...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    When I print ABS, I spread ABS juice (search it in google it’s easy to make) on my bed and I made a box out of foam core board (just 4 sides, no top or bottom) for a make shift enclosure) 60% of the time, it works every time.

    They run off openbuild & Grbl on arduino uno. if that makes sense?
