Hi,
I just built a Crossfire Pro.
I would like to meet any one from the San Francisco Bay or Monterey Bay area with a plasma cutter.
Happy cutting,
Jim
Iām 35 miles northeast of San Francisco in the delta in Pittsburg CA. I got a notice today that my UPS shipment for box 1 wonāt arrive until Monday instead of today. Guess the week-end is mine.
Are you building a Pro?
guysā¦as I was informed at the start there is a map function in the into area that you can place where you areā¦it was very helpful for meā¦
Hey Jim and Agent86, I live in Morgan Hill, working on my Pro. Still need a Plasma unit.
Keith Nelson, and Iām on the map.
I am. Was expecting to start putting it together this week-end but box 1 wonāt be here till Monday. Still waiting for electrician to put in my new 200 amp main service panel.
Thanks.
Now Iām on the Map.
Hi.
Glad to meet you.
Hello Jim.
CONGRATS!!
My name is Ryan. I live in San Jose. I have the CFP coming soon, but unfortunately I am a CNC complete noob. (Itās okay though, Im gonna learn it here soon enoughā¦)
What is your level of experience? whatcha wanna build? How did you get it past your significant other?
Ryan
PS. I have the HTP āMicro cut 875c2ā.
Ryan,
Welcome to the group.
Donāt worry about being new to CNC.
Itās just point and cut.
Are you using Fusion 360?
If not I advise looking into it.
Once you have a 3D or 2D model the rest is easy.
Jim
Thanks bud.
I started digging into F360, butā¦then my brain EXPLODED. So, that happenedā¦
Iām now digging into āInkscapeā- because I donāt have th need to build a BIONIC ARM, and I was hoping that Inkscape would be a touch more āintuitiveā (sigh) haha!
But, If you suggest to stick with the F360, then maybe Iāll keep at itā¦ (?) Are you having good luck with it?

I have been using it for years, but I do make robot arms so maybe Iām not a good example.
Even if you are only doing 2D (no 3D printing or machining) Fusion 360 is worth the effort because it will generate the g-code you need to give to FireControl to cut.
There are a ton of video tutorials for 360.
I think this is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b5kpeV6y5M

Okay, THAT video was a truly helpful one! Your push, combined with how easy that gent in the video made it look, helpped me think that I will stick with it. THANK YOU for the nudge in the right direction.
Iāll get back to it now.
Ryan
Please let us know how you are doing with it.
Jim
Hello Jim, Iām not from your area, but Iād be glad to answer some of your questions via a zoom meeting.
Iām in Lakewood CA in LA county and have a original crossfire table.

HI. Iām Joe in Marin County. Thinking of getting a base Crossfire once I pay off a couple other toys in the coming months. Would anyone be willing to let me visit (Fully Vaxed) and print a couple projects to see how my Fusion360 skills are, and we can geek out for a while? I have sheets in the back of my Tundra and Iām sure there is cold beer on the way!
Did someone say ācold beerā? Are you willing to drive to NC?

Sounds like a challenge.
