@Grant Pratt Do you have any experience mounting toolheads onto the CNC gantry that arent plasma cutters? My idea is to attach some kind of blade, or maybe even diode laser, to quickly cut..... cardboard! Cardboard can help create prototypes very quickly and affordably. Let me know if you have any other suggestions for large rapid prototyping that doesnt break the bank.

Looking for a little advise on material thickness. I would like to build this display to go on top of my bar cabinet. I will be using 1 in sq tubing mild steel, might order it pickled if not too much more $$$ but struggling with thickness for 2 reasons, weight and cost. This will be a Tig project as my mig will not see this. 😁. Let me know your thoughts on material thickness, tungsten color and size, cup type and size, and amps please. Thank you

Progress after figuring out I purchased crap plans! Come see the build so far at, @midwestkustomz6350 https://youtu.be/0PjnCENICV4
