<title><![CDATA[Should there be this much movement on my X / Y?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,<br /><br />After attempting to CNC site contour models, I keep encountering the same issue.<br /><br />Where contours  should be made of smooth curves, the surface appears to have 'teeth' or 'squiggles' across most lines, I have highlighted in red the worst examples.<br /></p>

<p><div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/igi/ooznest/bGCCddOk3WqHRrWl.standard" width="282" height="128" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net\/igi\/ooznest\/bGCCddOk3WqHRrWl.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=731')" /></div></p>

<p><br /><br />Having tried different drill bits thickness' and speeds etc with no change, I am getting a bit lost as to what the problem is, although when watching it work, I noticed that the machine seems to have a bit of a judder when changing directions.<br /><br />Once the job had completed, I turned it off and felt that their seems to be some give/wobble, whereby the wheels can move forward and backward by about 3mm, I have attached a video with sound below to show the movement.</p>

<div class="large videoFrame videoBox_center" style="width:452px"><div class="videoBox"><video id="kSBkiElQLUjEFAqn" controls width="448"   height="252"   poster="https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/igi/ooznest/poWBHuQciohrjqv6.large" >  <source src="https://dozuki-prod-us-east-1-guide-objects.s3.amazonaws.com/igo/video/ooznest/kSBkiElQLUjEFAqn_MP4_720.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E, mp4a.40.2"' res="720" label="480p" /> </video></div></div>

<p><br /><br />Should the WorkBee have this kind of looseness to it? Should I tighten it somehow? I inherited this machine at my new work place (colleague who set it up has left over a year ago). I would appreciate any advice or link to a guide on getting the correct tension on this axis, and whether this could be impacting the accuracy of my router.<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance anyone that can help!<br /><br />Alistair</p>

<title><![CDATA[Z Depth changes mid job.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I am running a G code on my WorkBee from a wifi Duet 2 contoller. On one G code, for a parallel cut, the Z depth strangely steps down by about 6.7mm after 1500 lines into the program and carries on at this new depth?</p>

<p>To try to resolve this, I set up the job again in Fusion and ran a simulation, this appears to be fine.</p>

<p>I then had a look at the code in G Code viewer, which appears fine also and shows no glitches.</p>

<p>I have now run the job again and the same happened at the same point in the job?</p>

<p>Can anyone advise please as this is starting to make face twitch?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Configuring Z probe pins on Duet 3 6hc]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello!<br /><br />I am using the Ooznest Control software to control a V1 Engineering lowrider cnc-machine, using the Duet 3 6HC control board, as it is superior to the default Duet DWC. It seems to work fine so far, but when trying to configure the pins for my z axis touchplate, the only endstop pin options available are the X, Y, Z, E0 and E1 pins, which are available on the Duet 2 board but not on the Duet 3 6HC. How could I go about modifying the code of the Oozenest Control Software to have the correct pin options for my board?  On the 6hc the endstop pins have been renamed to generic IO_(number) pins as per <a href="https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/igi/duet3d/33DEuEJZXP16vLbF.huge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">this pinout</a>. <br /><br />Thanks in advance.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Is it possible to "scan" a 3D object with workbee?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>When doing my last software upgrade I saw in the reprap software that it now has sensor input for measuring the height of an object (I think if I understood correctly). Make sme wonder if I could use a type of touch sensor (not the z probe) , maybe using pressure or light to determine points over an object and  scan part of a 3D model. For example, I have a Boat hull for a model that is too large and I want to scale down and then carve. It's a hugely complex shape and it would save me an age if I could scan it. I've tried photogrammetry with zero success.</p>

<p>Im in the installing process. Homing commands are working with all axis (z, x and y). But now I'm giving jogging command Y-50, and Y axis should move 50mm, but it's only moving 7mm. And Y-10 is moving only 1mm. Z and X axis commands are working correctly.</p>

<p>What is the problem and how can I fix this?</p>

<p>Yesterday, my computer crashed, forcing me to have to completely download windows 12 again.</p>

<p>Part of the process is to completely remove all the Apps/Programs and settings from the laptop.</p>

<p>The problem I now have, is that all the original software that speaks to the machine is now gone.</p>

<p>To clarify, I don't mean the CNC software that designs the items, I mean anything that speaks to the machine itself.</p>

<p>I have gone onto Microsoft Edge and tried to connect via 'Workbee Local', however for some reason it just keeps timing out.</p>

<p>If I disconnect the cable the computer 'dings' so there is a connection.</p>

<p>I vaguely remember having to download a patch or something, but I don't remember what.</p>

<p>Can anyone help?</p>
