    Mind blowing! With relatively cheap elements you managed to make this work! Congrats Minh! Smart design, excellent methodology, pretty good pedagogy... Impressive.
    (FR) Mec! Tu es intelligent! J'attendais depuis des semaines en allant sur aliexpress et ebay pour voir quelle "tête" tu allais pouvoir utiliser sur cette machine... Incroyable 30$! Non seulement on regarde ta video avec attention comme une "bonne" série (excuse la comparaison) mais ta pédagogie et ton pragmatisme font de ta chaîne plus qu'un dépôt de tutoriels, une VRAIE MINE D'OR! Tout y est détaillé: tes choix, les modifs et leur raison etc... Je suis heureux sans aucune flatterie, d'avoir croisé ta chaîne! Merci Minh! Je suis certain et impatient de voir que tu vas régler la vitesse et le feed de ton plasma. Impressionnant. L'imagination n'aura plus de frein. Whoah! Le plasma "bouffe" et fait presque fondre l'alu... Il y a de l'énergie sous le capot! ça promet! Can't wait! Prends soin de toi mon ami!

      Thank you my friend! Cheap is my number one rule in the designing process for I'm like most of people in the world - poor :D.
      (FR) J'ai fait pas mal de recherches avant de commencer ce projet avec le plasma cutter. J'ai vu aussi bcp de machine qui utilise la tete droite et ca aussi facilite le design. Une fois finir les ajustements, c'est vraiment utile d'avoir une table plasma CNC. Je pourrais construire d'autres machines avec des pieces metalliques.
      Sur un autre sujet, j'espere que tout va bien chez toi avec le Covid-19. Chez nous, on doit rester a la maison toute la journee. On sort seulement quand c'est vraiment necessaire. Mes enfants ne vont pas a l'ecole pour aumoins les deux prochaine semaines.
      Prends de toi et ta famille aussi mon ami!

      (FR) Oui, s'agissant du covid19, on est dans la partie la plus touchée de france. Comme nous tenons à notre vie et que chacun reste vivant et en bonne santé que possible, on se plie aux recommandations du gouvernement. Ça fait 5 jours qu'on est confinés à la maison. Mais ;) personnellement je n'ai pas le temps de m'ennuyer entre fusion360 et mes projets 3Dprinting et autres, j'ai de quoi m'occuper comme toujours ;) J'ai pitié des gens qui s'ennuient. Merci pour tes voeux de santé et je te les retourne aussi pour tes bien-aimés. Quelques jours bloqués chez soi, ce n'est pas la fin du monde mon ami.
      Pour revenir à cette machine à plasma, j'imagine que tu nous feras bientôt une démo sur de l'acier... l'énérgie visible sur l'alu peut faire espérer une efficacité pour l'acier. Et quand ça marchera, tu n'auras plus à attendre la livraison de Chine pour certaines pièces usinables chez toi. Pretty cool. En tout cas, pour le design de tes meubles, tu as tout sous la main désormais. Je t'envie. Allez! Prépare-nous une belle démo mon ami! Ciao!

    lovely work! i am also following your steps, and also purchased this plasma torch to upgrade the one i had. My previous torch cable didn't have a power cable, i suspect that its wired to the air pipe since it must have had a way to pass the power somehow. Do you think that makes any sense? as such i should wire the power cable of the new torch head to the coper connecting the air. if you have any insights would gladly apriciate them thanks in advance

    1-Anh Minh muốn cắt đẹp thì nên thiết lập trong sheetcam có phần điểm mồi đánh lửa, nó sẽ đánh lửa đột lỗ ở ngoài sau đó mới lượn vòng vào phần mình cắt. Em thấy phần thiết lập của anh chưa có "điểm đột lỗ mồi" 2- Em cảm giác anh để khí hơi bé nên khí không thổi bay hết ra ngoài, dẫn đến đường cắt bị ba vớ. Khi cắt plasma anh để khí tầm 5kg là ổn.

Sau lần thử đấy máy nén khí đang bị hỏng nên và đang chờ thiết bị thay nên cũng chưa thử lại được. Về phần plasma thì mình mới bắt đầu nên còn phải tìm hiểu và thử nhiều lần.

    • @minhsmancave9448
      @minhsmancave9448  3 года назад

      Yes, I do. It's hard to deal with interference. I don't have a real solution to deal with it completely till now. The best way is not to use HF pilot arc plasma cutter. You can use Blowback pilot arc plasma cutter or even a non pilot arc plasma cutter. If you really want to keep your HF pilot arc plasma cutter, you can use an Ethernet Mach3 Controller to avoid interference. But make sure that you avoid all the Chinese controllers, they don't work well for plasma cutting table.

      @minhsmancave9448  4 года назад +1

      @@tohx11 this mostly due to the Z axis speed and the sensitivity. If it's jerking, that means the sensitivity is too high for the actually speed. Or you reduce the Z axis speed (mostly acceleration because it is a small movement) or you decrease the sensitivity. Try to tune these 2 parameters until you get a smooth movement of the Z axis when cutting. When you cut at slower feed rate and less warped sheet, you might need to reduce the sensitivity even more.

      If you want to check the relay with a LED light or any type of light:
      - Make sure the light work by wiring it to a power source (LED light to 3.3V)
      - Once the light is working correctly, cut one wire and put it one end to a COM pin, the other to NO pin (normally open)
      - Make sure the relay is powered properly (10V DC)
      - Now, if you turn on the relay by putting a input signal (5V) to the control pin, the light should turn on, and 0V, the light should turn off.
