I'm just a tinkerer that often ends up making a living from my projects..... Always spoiling a hobby by turning it into a job. Plasma Dave (not my idea) because I have made a CNC plasma table, what better reason :) contact me if you like on onih@yahoo.com but I don't check that one all that often unless you comment in a video and let me know👍

Insta360 Ace Pro Case - organizer tray cut out with a Co2 Laser
Переглядів 1845 місяців тому
I have recently treated myself to the new Insta360 Ace Pro Action camera. I purchased the creator set with the camera and a case to put it in. The supplied case is not ideal, so I have remade the liner using my home-built Co2 laser.

I have purchased a Carpuride W109 Pro and as good as the supplied brackets are I didn't quite like them, in this video I design and make a bracket that will more closely integrate the unit into the car. I also give some of my impressions of the W109 pro at the end of the video.

Cleaning up The DIY CNC Plasma- One of the less Glamorous jobs.
Переглядів 1337 місяців тому
This is a regular maintenance job on the CNC plasma table. I DIY built this machine approximately 5 years ago and since then have always used Bicarbonate of soda as a rust inhibitor in the water. That's he white stuff you see in the video it is cheap and has worked extremely well. I think I took around 150kg of rubbish out of the 3mtr x 1.5mtr table.
Aligning my large DIY Co2 Laser cutter Part 1
Переглядів 7137 місяців тому
I have split this video into 2 parts, This is part 1 it explains the leveling of the machine in as much detail as I can. Leveling really needs to be thought about when you design a Co2 laser. In my case, I did consider alignment but in my usual fashion, I pretty much worked it out as I went. This video explains what I have learned.

Great job. I have a question? How you have wired 2 steppers in Y axis? They run with same stepper driver bcs i saw only one driver for Y axis. And do you configure somewhere in software that the machine runs with 2 steppers in Y axis? Thanks 🙏
It is not best practice to run 2 steppers on one driver, I had intended to add another driver but it has worked without problem and has done a lot of work so until it does give a problem I'll use it as it is. the steppers rotate in the same direction so they are just spliced together.
Thanks Mr Dave if you i want to select the rail guides i will base on what
Usually turn it off, wait 5mins, turn it back on and all ok for another year
Not if there is a hole in it and you tow.
Hello, Can you show me how to adjust the step for CO2 laser engraving machine using TB6600 driver and DLC32 circuit board. I searched for information online but could not find specific instructions on this issue
It's normally done in the software. I used Lightburn. If you Google 'lightburn calibrate axis' it will tell you.
Nnya pak,,laser head ortur sy sperti ini mati,sinyal pwm masih berkedip,,..sekiranya apanya ya pak yg rusak,driver apakah optikny
Hello, i left you message on email box 😁
I've also done it in my college, with larger dimensions, x axis - 1000mm y axis -1186 mm
Are there any plans to repeat what you have accomplished with this build? Thanks
No plans at the moments, in fact this machine has exceeded expectations. If I did it again I would change some things for sure.
y axis two steppers with only one driver?
Yes not best practice and it was only temporary.
Please it's rechargeable?
Yes it is rechargable.
The over-the-bed storage is a nice touch. It's usually wasted space.
Yes we thought that too 👍
Can it cut thru time and space?
It works well. In the video, you were collecting grass as a separate operation from mowing. (As far as I could see.) Presumably it works equally well while you are mowing, if your route allows it?
Yes It doesn't interfere with the mower cutting system at all only thing is the mower throws the clippings out the side so I end up going over some areas twice. I tend to mow so that it gathers in rows and then go over it later when it dries out a bit.
هل من الممكن الحصول على واحدة حجم صغير ؟
You could certainly make a smaller one 👍
Nice video as I have ordered one myself so thank you......just wondered though why ppl still use one handed camera work when there are so so so many tripods or selfie sticks out there to give two handed operation of wot is being videoed and presented......sorry I just don't understand why ppl still do this 😮
It's a fair question, simple answer is when I made this video I didn't have a mount for my phone. It was on order 😊
And can it cut through wood?
It cuts some types of wood easily and plywood but the glue in some plywood causes issue's
Congratulations on the build 👏
Whats the cost to build this ?
It cost me something around 3k aus $
@plasma453 thanks for responding thats awesome man how's it been going with the machine
@@FreeWorld310 after a fair bit of trouble shooting it is now pretty awesome really. The amount of time it takes too build is not to be underestimated.
How fast it can cut and engrave safely and efficienty???
Wow very nice..good job👏👏
8 years later I still use it, much bigger workshop now though
What laser?
That's a bit fancy
Ah well you know me 🥴
Looks cool!!
*Promosm*
Hey there plasma Dave, Bundy bear referred me to you about rhe fergy sign in his garage , how much in usd do you charge for them or are they special order? Cheers . Dm.
Drop me an email mate onih@yahoo.com
Hi Dave! Great build! How stable is the table with the slats? I can't see any guidance - you just have it guided by the lead screws, right? Especially if you put there a large sheet of 15mm acrylic!? I was wondering for my build if that is enough or if you would recommended two guiding rails on the sides or so? Have a great day!
The table has proven to be very stable, although ideally I would have liked to use a longer belt so the lead screws are in the 4 corners. It is guided by the lead screws I went to a lot of trouble to get those vertical. I have tried a 28lb weight on the table and it raises and lowers just fine. The Z NEMA 23 powers it well no slipage so far. 👍
Can i get you machine design please 😢
Hi I have a fusion 360 model that I can share but it doesn't exactly match what I ended up making. My email address is in the channel description.
You're living my dream life and i just started making cnc machine 😢
Nice project. What do you use for working table of diode laser?
It's some old adjustable retail shop shelving with a bit of MDF screwed to the top.
hi Dave nice build , is our f360 available? thanks in advance
Hey there, I managed to stuff up the f360 model. It sort of looks ok but doesn't match the final build totaly. I have put my email address in the channel description if you would like to see it.
Nice!
Did you find any treasures?
You would of thought so eh, but nope nothing 🤣
Take off your safety goggles and admire the wondrous creation you just made. 🤗 👍 Then take off your rose-tinted glasses and contemplate the clean-up! 😱 🤬 😡 Thanks for the "Warts and All" look at what the others are not showing us. Introducing us to reality doesn't do any harm.
Lol it is a nasty job, skinned knuckles and all.
Good morning, congratulations on the videos, I would like to know which engine model you used in the project
Hi If by 'engine' you mean controller? it is a Ruida RDC6445 the stepper drivers are DM556 and Nema 17 steppers with a Nema 24 for the Z axis.
hey bud can you do an alignment video?
Yep am working on it, hopefully in the next few days.👍
very nice!!! sana all!
Machine name
It hasn't got one yet.
Nice 👍
Great job. Nice size. What is the thickest material can you cut (ply wood)? Would you choose a higher power laser tube?
Thanks, I've only tried 10mm plywood with 2 passes. I think it would go thicker though and will try. I mainly cut acrylic at the moment. The higher you go in tube power makes engraving harder as the minimum you can run the tube at is about 10% this means that eventuality you exceed the speed/accuracy of the steppers and the time it takes to pulse the tube on and off.
Do you have it for sale???
Estou precisando montar uma dessa.
Thank you!... "LaserDave"? 😜
Haha I still plasma cut more than laser cut but that could change 😊
That thing is a beast! Well done, sir. That bed is massive.
Thanks I'm pleased with it. 👍
Greattt job
Just to add a bit of context I built this router 15 years ago quite a lot of it is original including all of the electronics which I built at component level. It was used daily for 10 years but is now semi retired. The shed it is stored in was struck by lightening which fried the pc the CNC is attached to, fortunately the damage didn't spread to the CNC.
Nice machine Dave :) would you also share your design files as open source? Will be anazing help to the community:)
Thanks I probably will release it, the fusion 360 model needs updating though which will take me a while. New video coming soon I hope.
Quise decir los planos
Hermosa maquina, felicitaciones, los poanos estarsn a la venta?????
Hi, there are no plans but I do have a Fusion 360 model that needs updating. This is a fluid build meaning I usually make a part to fit as I go.
This is cool, I’d love to see the alignment process?
Will see what I can do 👍
Awesome 👌
Thank you! 😊
Man I love your videos really nice. Good job I hope watch the laser working soon. I'm really inspired with your job. 🎉
Your far too kind 👍it actualy ran for the first time today!
