Your MPCNC setup looks larger than 30"x30" and it also looks like your using the electrical conduit. Are there issues with flexing? What plasma cutter are you using?

Check your plasma cutter’s operator manual, it should have info on feed rate, kerf width compensation, torch heigh, etc…

Here is a hypertherm one for reference

My cutting area is 1 meter by 1 meter. Yes I am using 20mm conduit. I don’t see any issue with flex because the torch is not touching the piece.

 

My plasma cutter is a cheap Chinese cut50 nock off. Not much instructions, and nothing about cutting heights and feed rates. I gets best cuts at around 1mm height.

 

I have made a floating z mount which zeros before every cut, but I think I need a torch height controller. Does anyone know how to integrate one with the mpcnc setup? Or know how to diy one?
