Wood table OX CNC 750x750

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 05:49:51 -0700

Hello, I know the OX CNC project is very old, but I have a machine that I bought from you with dimensions of 750x750, and I also have the expansion kit for 1500x1500. Could you please tell me the exact measurements of the wooden boards where the parts are housed for cutting or carving? I believe you had them for sale, but the shipping costs weren't economical for me. Would you kindly provide me with the exact measurements for the boards for both sizes? Thank you very much.

(Note: I don't have access to specific product information or updates beyond my last training data in September 2021, so I can't provide current details about OX CNC products. You might want to visit their official website or contact them directly for the most up-to-date information.)

replacement touch probe connection to main body

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 02:29:50 -0700

Hi,

Cleverly, i managed to destroy the movable part of my Touch probe (dont ask) I have a replacement, but do i need to replace everything or can i use just the metal plate and connect the device to the head piece on the main machine as that was not damaged?

Hope that makes sense

How to disassemble wheels?

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 01:22:48 -0700

Is there a way to disassemble the wheel? Without damaging any of the parts (bearing or the wheel itself)?

I've just recently received an order that included 3 gantry plate kits with 6 wheels each, and after it arrived I was so excited that I quickly hurried to put the wheels together... Watching some random video on YouTube, showing the washer being placed outside, between the bearing and the spacer, I quickly pressed the bearings in the wheel housing and proceeded on assembling the gantry, but then as soon as I would tighten it, the wheels weren't turning. Then, trying to find some official Ooznest diagram/drawing, I ended up looking at the gantry assembly for the workbee, which showed the washer being placed inside the wheel, between the bearings. SO my issue must definitely be because, without that washer there, as soon as I start to tighten it, it pulls the center of the 2 adjacent bearings towards eachother, and the bearings can't function smoothly anymore.

The material of these Solid V Xtreme wheels is extremely tough, and I really don't know how to go about it... But I would like to remove the bearings and place the washers between them, and still use the wheels... I wouldn't want to just order new wheels and throw these away like that, would be wasteful...

Change workbed height on workbee 1000 x 1000

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 01:14:44 -0700

I have a workbee 1000 x 1000 and assembled it using v2.1 documentation which has no mention of being able to have two different heights for the workbed (as in the assembly documention v1.4).

Is it possible to use the method 1 described in v1.4 of the documentation for a 1000 x 1000 workbee CNC?

Duet does not auto-connect to WiFi

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 09:21:14 -0700

Hi all,

I'm sure this is a very basic newbie issue but it's driving me crazy!

I'm on my Mac, connecting by USB to the Duet and using SerialTools to add my WiFi network and connect and this works fine. The WiFi LED on the Duet glows purple and I can connect to it using DWC in my browser. But when I disconnect the USB and power up the Workbee the WiFi LED glows red but the module does not auto-connect so I can no longer access the Duet. Back on a USB connection I can see that the Duet still has the correct settings stored to join the network.

Looking at the config.g file from DWC I can see that the M552 S1 command seems to be active.

Why won't it join automatically?

Y axis banging on extrusion

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 00:43:39 -0700

After running my 1500x1500 z1+ for a while now it’s developed a banging on the leadscrew on y axis. This only occurs when machine is at the front of the workspace and is only on the left hand side. I retensioned both sides but does exactly the same. The screw actually bangs on the extrusion as it rotates, it starts off moving ok then the screw starts wobbling more and more until it starts hitting extrusion, could it be bent?

Replacing crimp pins on Motor wires

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 05:52:37 -0700

Poor connections on the YL motor wire have caused the motor to judder and the connector to overheat. The heat has discoloured the pins coming out of the Duet and the Crimp Pins attached to the ends of the motor cables.

I intend to replace all of the crimp pins terminating all of the motor cables.

Can you recommend a crimping tool that's going to give me a good connection between the Crimp Pins and the exposed wire?

The crimper I have doesn't do the job and I'm not getting good results with long nosed pliers (I'm not good at soldering so would prefer not to do this unless I have to!).

Possible to use larger/heavier end mills?

Mon, 22 May 2023 01:25:53 -0700

I've been carving out wooden bowls using a 8mm ball end bit. I was wondering if it was possible on the workbee to use much larger bits ie 20mm or more (reducing cutting time with a bigger stepover). This would have a half inch shank diameter so I would need a bigger and heavier router than the small Katsu one I use now.

So question is can the workbee handle a router capable of handling the heavier bit?

Any recommendations?
