Part 2 (of 3!) of the CNC router build. Hit a snag with the table that’s set me back a bit. CAD is coming once I get the table figured out and the model updated.
Enjoy!

In this Video we show how we draw a part in Vectric Aspire 10 and then process the file in Sheetcam to cut out on a CNC plasma.

LowRider 3 CNC DIY Plasma Table PART 13 – Laser Targeting! – SketchUp Creation Process Tutorial! Uploaded January 27, 2023.
This video not only shows how these laser crosshairs are installed and work on my DIY plasma rig, but also details how I designed these holders from scratch — from start to finish using SketchUp (free 2017 version, the last free version that could be installed locally on a computer).
Full details on my DIY CNC plasma rig:
• YouTube video series on how I made my CNC Plasma rig, based on LowRider v3 mostly printed CNC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV-IcyFUPQs&list=PLiW6LQZxE6JZW8mClbsKFIjO5VFjzxklS
• Also check out my build log thread with full details — over on the V1 Engineering forum: https://forum.v1e.com/t/lowrider-3-plasma-build-on-a-budget-clarksburg-wv/33849
• I also have a “CNC Plasma Cutter” collection of parts over on Printables: https://www.printables.com/social/127223-doug-joseph-design8studio/collections/227396
• Finally, some printable items for my plasma rig are made available to my patrons via my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/design8studio.
I may yet wire the lasers to the 5v power supply in my control box, but for now I’m up and running with the battery pack that holds three AA batteries. I am using normal (not rechargeable) batteries.
Print / assembly info:
• Prints as oriented.
• Prints without supports.
• Suggested: either 2 perimeter walls (0.6 nozzle) or 3 perimeter walls (0.4 nozzle).
• 20% infill
• I printed using 0.6 nozzle with 0.3 layer height and 0.6 wall line width, but they should also print well with 0.4 nozzle using same settings (emulating 0.6) or regular settings.
• Use two M3 x 10mm screws, one in each holder, to tighten the flanges to “clamp” the laser diodes into the holders.
