My process for going from parametric models in SketchUp to CNC manufacture, including ongoing trial and error.
This if for professional manufacture of cabinets, a subject I think is under represented on YouTube / sketchup forums.
Relying on the excellent Cabinetsense extension: www.cabinetsense software.com. Give it a try and if you do then let Paul know you heard about it from me, we are working together to refine and present it’s full capabilities in the run up to 3D Basecamp 2022. The workflow also relies on Vectric (Cut2D is sufficient).
CNC machine is from VWM.co.Uk I did a lot of research and have not been disappointed with my choice, ask me for more info.
There’ll be better quality videos in future, sorry for this one. Most of my video content is on Instagram stories lately @freebirdinteriors

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.
