As a retired kindred mechanical / robotics designer type guy, I do like many of your solutions. I, too, would like to have a small CNC plasma table, but I have similar space constraints, not to mention being cheap. I'll do the right thing and buy JD's plans, though mostly for the print files, new controller and torch height build list. I already have a commercial spec miniature Z axis assembly with linear rails and ball screw salvaged from the company scrap bin, so that's a potential win. Thanks to JD's Garage and yourself for doing ali of the heavy lifting.
Nice job. I like the metal lift setup you have. Ive just been running a few gallons of water now. Just a 1/4 inch seems to work good enough for catching sparks, for my use at least.
Thanks. I started out with the tank almost completely full. It made a mess, splashed water everywhere and spilled if I bumped the table or tired to move it at all. My last run with the machine was with about 3/4" of water. The shop got a bit dusty, I though I'd try the next run a bit in between.

Bad ass i built the version one the offer but it takes up so much room. I am going to build there new XL version and do this.
Hello,great video,maybe you have shematic that z axis fiter,because my z axis do wrong,thanks
What are the printable DIN snap clips you used? Great vid also
I started with this one and designed "attachment" for each of my devices. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2613804
