Printables
The following is copied and pasted from the description on Printables:
I designed these printed parts to attach 1.5-in aluminum square tubes to a VEVOR name brand stainless steel table, which became the base for my LowRider 3-based plasma cutting rig, which is documented both on the V1E forum and on my YouTube channel, and for which other printed parts are available here for free.
The table linked below is the one I used for my plasma rig (although I switched its legs for longer ones from another VEVOR table I had, and those other legs had casters mounted on them). I paid $259.99 for the table, but as of March 2023 the price had increased to $302.99.
Print settings:
- Print as oriented.
- No supports needed.
- If printing with 0.6 nozzle, I suggest 2-3 walls, 30% infill.
- If printing with 0.4 nozzle, I suggest 3-4 walls, 30% infill.
Mounting tips:
- I used M5 x 8mm screws (as shown in the photo) to attach these to the table. There is an existing screw hole on the VEVOR stainless steel table (each hole has a compression nut in it) that I used. I seriously considered drilling an additional hole for each mount, but in the end I did not. So, although the mount has three screw holes, I only used two, one for the table (on the lower end) and one for the aluminum square tube (on the upper end).
