This is my second video of my JD Garage plasma table build. In this video, I will show you how I added drag chains to the table. I also added an extra tube, along the Y axis, which a bearing mounted to the end of the X axis tube runs across.

For those interested in the STL files, you can download them from:

Please keep in mind, you will have to purchase the original plans from JD's Garage website. The above STL files are only for the 3D printed modifications I added to the build.

UPDATE:
I had some questions about the drag chains, so I'm providing more details here. I purchased my drag chains from Ali Express years ago.

1.) The correct size for the YAxis drag chain is important because the STL file was designed around this size drag chain.

Product Name: Startnow Plastic Drag Chains Wire Carrier With End Connectors Bridge Transmission Cable Chain CNC Router Laser Machine Towline

Select “TypeA, Bridge”

Select “15x50 mm” size

Qty needed is 2 meters (but double check for your set up)

2.) The XAxis drag chain is not so critical... I guess any size would be OK since there are no STL file that require this particular one. 10x40mm or 10x30mm inside dimension should be OK.

Product Name: 1 Meter Length Black Plastic Drag Chain Cable Wire Carrier Not Open for 3D Printer and CNC Machines

Select “10X40mm” (if they have it, 10x30mm also OK)

Qty needed is 2 meters (but double check for your set up)
