Im having problems reconnecting to my worbee after a PC change and new internet ssid.

I have tried re following the initial setup guide but when i connect the workee to my pc via USB i get lights on the Duet but nothing comes up on the PC. I have tried multiple USB cables (not sure which one came with it).

I have a wifi workbee.

I am facing a quite bad issue with my Workbee that I don't know how to fix.

As you can see in the video, my Z axis is relly unstable causing serious precision problems. I tried to tight the Eccentric-Spacers but it doesn't help.

It really seems that I have to replace the "main" m5 30mm screws... but I really would like to avoid such a delicate task because would involve to disassemble half of the machine.

I was wondering if know what generally causes this issue and if there is an alternative way to fix it. Open to any suggestion!

Thank you very much for the support.

I've just connected my touch probe into the touch probe mount connector as shown in the manual/photos, I've followed the guide up to step 6, but step 7 set work zero -touch probe - part 2 the 'Touch Probe Panel isn't showing up.

Screenshot of workbee/local webpage for clarity

Thanks for any help provided.

Something has changed in fusion. 360 is now not allowing me to send files. I have tried the update as per your instructions but I'm getting an error message error M977 firmware/duet2_SDiap 32_Wi-Fith.bin not found.

any advice please

Surely the only way of solving this is lowering the height that the router is mounted? Then I figure I’d have to redo the tough probe configuration prior to carrying out the test again?

Many thanks

The connector used to plug the touchplate into the block under the Z-axis motor. Can you tell me exactly what part that is? Manufaturer, part number that sort of thing?

I could hunt it down but you could save me a lot of effort :)

Thanks.

Which of the files would beed to be altered and how if I'd like to have machine position to 0,0,0 when homed? Now when the machine is homed the coordinates are "at the max values" and all travels are negative.

This gives me headache while creating the G-Code.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any possibility to add a Laser Kit to Workbee (1000X1000) ? I’m looking for a non expensive product, not to cut but just marking, any lead ?

Thanks

RepRap Firmware is as folllows -

m122

RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet version 3.3 (2021-06-15 21:44:54) running on Duet WiFi 1.02 or later

Board ID: 0JD0M-9P6B2-NJ4S4-6J9F8-3SD6P-TV1UL

but as I cannot get a WiFi connection I tried to instal files directly to the SD card.

This has led to just endless attempts to get the WiFi to connect unsuccessfully.

Is there a simple way to copy the right / up to date files to the SD card directly or what do you recommend.

Many thanks.

Got the ooznest 1500 x 1500 last week.

Have a little issue here lol. When homing all the axis’, the z will only move down about 3-4mm. IKt won’t go up to the limit switch! Is there something that I have pressed to do this strange homing?

M120 G91 G1 Z0.5 F360000 G90 M121

Error: G0/G1: target position outside machine limits

I recently bought a 1500x1500 Workbee and installed it. No problem with the installation part and with the first few trials.

But I'm now having issues between the file I'm creating and the CNC work that comes out of it. I'm basically creating a pill shape of 41 x 133mm overall size on Vcarve that I would like to use to make a hollow pill shape on a piece of MDF. I'm turning this vector line into a pocket toolpath and I also tried a profil toolpath but the final job is always smaller than the file.

The pill shape I create on the software is 41mm wide by 113mm long but the final job is always 38mm wide by 111mm long :

• I'm certain I specified a 1/4 inch end mill in the sofwtware which matches what is mounted on my milling machine
• I'm certain I created the file right, I checked multpile times the toolpath dimensions

Could it come from the fact that the machine is loose for example ? Like the wheels who would not be tight enough or the X / Y / Z Lead-Screw being loose ?

Am I forgetting something else ?

Thanks for your help

When I program and export G code from Vectric V carve Pro and upload it to the Workbee, sometimes it does not execute the code correctly. It only executes random X or Y movement within the programmed code, but not everything...

It happens seemingly random and it happens most with the Pocket function, but I have it happen with Profile aswel.

Sometimes changing the starting place fixes it, but not always.

When I run the code through a G code simulator I can verify that the code being generated by Vectric is OK, but the Workbee does not run it correctly.

I have attached pictures for reference.

Best regards,

Maarten

I have completed all steps in the assembly up to and including 6. Y-Gantry Assembly, step 5. Problem is I have noticed a 3mm gap between the Y-plate assembly and the base frame as the gantry is pushed as far as it can go to the front and to the back. When the gantry is at the front this gap is on the left and when at the back it moves to the right. I have tried loosening and retightening everything on the gantry while in place countless times. I have taken the gantry off to see if I could find a problem with the gantry or the base but I can’t find anything wrong. I have now reassembled everything again and have the same 3mm gap. It seems like something (I was thinking the base) is not square but I have checked for square when putting the base together and it was fine, I rechecked when I took it all apart and it was still good.

There is also no binding when moving the gantry, it moves freely along the whole length front to back.

I can close the gap with mild force but it springs back when released. I could maybe shim something but obviously this is not the ideal solution.

Can anyone suggest what the problem is/what to look for/what to adjust? I have attached a pic of the gap, the opposite side with no gap and then the whole setup.

Thanks
