Plasmacutter 4th axis

thingiverse

Hello everybody, Today I would like to share with you a blueprint of a 4th axis for a plasma cutter that you can use for pipe cutting. The plates are cut with the plasma, the mechanics come from the 3D printer. And the following parts are also needed: 2x [bearing*](https://amzn.to/2PuCpYG) 1x [copper weave band*](https://amzn.to/32xlYQH) 1x [gt2 belt*](https://amzn.to/32DvstR) 1x [steppermotor*](https://amzn.to/2uzmBN9) 1x [stepperdriver*](https://amzn.to/2HY0vqT) 1x [jaw chuck 125mm](https://amzn.to/391rVIa) 2x [tension spring*](https://amzn.to/3ac3gAV) one for the belt and one for the copper weaver band 1240mm square tube 50x50x3 80mm round steel d20mm First all parts are cut out and printed. Then, as on the plan, 4 pieces of shape tube are cut to size and welded as a Frame. Next, the round tube is screwed to the base plate of the jaw chuck with the 3D printed gauge and welded from behind. Then the bearing holders are screwed on and all other parts are attached Pretension the belt tensioner a little with the spring, guide the shaft through the bearing and first fix the bearing fixture, then the gear and the last bearing Fixation (as on the Picture with the open cover). Then put on the rear cover and check that everything is in alignment. Clamp everything together, then drill and cut a thread into the molded tube so that the rear cover can be opened if necessary. The last thing to do is to fasten the earthing strap with a spring as shown in the picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3QpVNdWQNk *affiliate link / As an Amazon partner, I earn on qualified sales
