What have you done on your CrossFire Pro Today?

That was me, and all I was suggesting was starting a dedicated thread like @holla2040 laser swap, so we could keep up with all the saga of your new table.

This thread is projects done on the CF Pro.

A seat made out of welding blanket fabric would be pretty cool.

Can you point me to the file for the butterflies? They look like something to use up leftovers

I mean…you’re not wrong!

But damn it’ll catch alll the metal dust (and splinters).

These swatches, along with the leather used on my own stool, came from Leather Hide Store online in case anyone wants a good source for some hide.

That will piss you off in a hurry when you are trying to cut a few things before bed.

Just updated F360 and it deleted my plasma cutter. Now I have to go watch a video to remember how to add the damn cutter back it… Thanks Autodesk.
*** EDITED ***
Okay so my machine was not deleted. My setting were set back to defaults which under manufacturing defaulted to “Milling”

I will edit this post in case someone else needs the solution.

Video below details adding fire control post processing and adding at plasma machine to F360.

I like that last one. Looks sophisticated. Like a leather chair in an executive office.

Fortunately any projects you’ve processed are saved in their entirety.

If your complete tool library is indeed gone, just open up any projects you last ran and copy all the tool settings used to re-create your old library.

I think this is my first post. Been trolling for a while. Got my Pro this spring and have been having a lot of fun with it. It’s mostly a hobby though I may do some side projects to pay for toys/tools etc. I’ve been making various boring pieces mostly to learn techniques and mount some tools but this is what I’ve been working on this week. I need to take it apart to paint/coat etc and then wire up once those parts arrive.

Pulled the trigger on a Hazard Fraud refrigerated air dryer. Manager gave me 20% off, couldn’t say no. Only downside is it won’t be here for a few weeks.

DONE with these humidity issues!

Mine is probably a year old but maybe only 20-30 hrs runtime. Still working fine.
My advice is turn it on 30 minutes before you plan to cut. You can feel the fitting on the outlet side of the air and tell when it’s really nice and cold and ready to suck some moisture.

How did you set it up? Did you put an extra water trap filter on the outlet?

No, I just have a catch can and ran the drain hose out the side through some vent grates that on at the bottom, rear on the side of the unit. I rarely run my setup long enough to produce more that 1/4 cup of water so not an issue for me. That water usually just evaporates before my next cutting session.

Realistically I could just let it run on the floor, but that seemed half-a$$ed, and I already do enough things using that method!

Edit: Should have mentioned, HFright dryer is after several other pieces of drying equipment, so output is very low. Not greatest pic, but it is at the outlet end of the copper pipe system.

44 x 22 backlit display for my office, still amazed at what quality consumables and air are capable of :rofl:
