I’ve been using the ooznest since July 2020 without any issue. Recently, when i am connecting the laptop to the machine via cable, YAT is not showing any connection! no port is being recognized. This is while the machine was working when via WIFI through web. I have re installed YAT but it did not help.

As always, the web IP has changed now and i am not able to connect to DUET to get the new IP via M55. Please help!

thanks

I came across this video from the carbide 3d folks which seems to explain the problem - has there been a similar patch for the workbee or is there a workaround?

⟐ Commented August 24, 2021, 1:13 MST

is there a way that it will work with Estlcam or do I need another program ?

Also I dont know how to access the control panel as this was done by Ryan this for me.

I have a 1500x1500 machine that I freshly set up. everything seems to be in order, however the machine made a slight ‘rattle‘ when jogging.

I thought it could be solved by tightening the leadscrews a little, but that didn’t seem to help. However if I just loosen the collet slightly and allow the screw to relax a bit it seems to run nice and smooth.

Any idea why this may be?

Am I ok to leave the lead screws slightly relaxed or will there be drawbacks?

thanks,

Fran

I know it’s not very relative to the Workbee, but I’m struggling to find a solution to avoid tenon marks during contour cut on my 1000X1000. I’ve tried 3d tenons, but still, any contour that I try leave marks at in/out of tenons.

Thanks for your help

Related - I have an enclosure, so I wonder if there is a good way to route the cable out of the enclosure - beyond just cutting a 3-pin-plug-sized hole in the back, and then hooking it up to an extension lead….

I’ve just built this wonderful machine and am nervously trying to coax it into surfacing a spoiler board for me…I thought I’d finally created the right file in vcarve to surface a big old rectangle (its a 1000x1500 machine so I think that rectangle is supposed to be 800x1270?) but when I run the file i get a single pass around the edge of that rectangle but then nothing inside it…? File path in vcarve looks Ok to my novice eye - screengrab attached…?

I’m very new to this! Any Ideas?

Thanks

i’m trying to do some pocket cuts on Workbee CNC and during cut in a middle of pocket CNC stops briefly, looks like it’s trying to move but just makes barely visible “shaking”. After what following cutting resumes being missaligned and in wrong depth.

After checking Events log i found quite few errors saying “Error: Filename too long: cap=120, dir=0:/www/…….”. Errors seems to be appearing every 1 or 3 minutes during cut till i stop it when it becomes missaligned.

What could be causing this issue?

Thanks.

I would like to install a manual Pause/Play button on my workbee V2.2. I can only find this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuBFOP1S... and as far as I can understand this chart does not fit my model. And the link described does not point me to one.

Can you help me with a description of this?

Can you please assist with following connection problem:

Connecting to DUET via Ethernet.

Laptop has both Wireless / Ethernet connections.

Wireless IP Address: 192.168.0.14 / 255.255.255.0

Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.2.10 / 255.255.255.0

In YAT I enter M552 then send, DUET doesn't return anything

Tried M552 S0 - nothing returned by DUET

Tried sending M552 S1 P192.168.2.12 - Nothing from DUET

Tried browser: 192.168.2.12 - Timed out for taking too long to respond (Didn't respond)

I've tried 2 x browsers, disabled Windows Firewall.

What is there left to do?

Thanks

I am very new to CNC and to Workbee in particular. I have just noticed a weird issue. (maybe not so weird, you tell me).

I have run a job, which consists of two elliptical pockets going the whole depth of the material (20mm). The depth is cut in multiple passes, 2mm at a time. The cutting bit is 1/4’’ upcut flat, two flute one. The material is soft-ish wood (pine I think).

The first time the job ran, everything was fine, pockets were cut just right and the spoilboard was untouched - precisely as designed. Then I repeated the job on another piece of material - without modifying the work zero position in any way. This time around, the first pocket of the two was correct, but on another one, the bit cut more than 0.5mm into the spoilboard. At the end, the job finished ok (after all, the spoilboard is there to be spoiled), but this has me wondering about the precision of the z-axis. I believe I might have heared a weird noise during the last pass, as if the bit hit something, or something skipped in the works of the machine. But I am not sure, perhaps I am imagining things. I don’t think the spoilboard deflected or moved upwards during the cut, so I have non idea what could be wrong.

Perhaps anybody has some idea what could be happening?

I am quite new with CNCs. I have had my workbee connected. I was trying to do the XYZ probing test on Saturday it is when the Duet stopped responding, web interface kept reconnecting.

On Sunday, Duet totally stopped responding, neither to ethernet nor YAT.

Today, it didn’t connect in the first attempt, reestablished connection after about 5 minutes. It has disconnected and reconnected three times while I was typing this message.

It lost connection again and attempting to connect again but to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

WorkBee v2.2

750x1000

Ethernet module

After connecting the Duet 2 via USB, and following the initial install guide carefully, I was able to get to the point of connecting to the web portal, upon which I was greeted with this:

At first I was not concerned due to the notice in the steps, but as I continued it did not match what I was expecting from the guide:

Can you spot it?

3. Connecting, Updating and Configuring Your WorkBee

I don’t have an upload button under general settings.

I attempted to use the file manager/system page listed on left to upload the firmware and it recognized the file as a firmware update, proceeding to load and reboot, but the interface did not change.

Further on, trying to enable my touch probe lead to related problems as the component to enable it does not exist on my interface. Even after uploading “DuetWifiServer.bin” as directed by @ryanlock on my comment on WorkBee Firmware Releases about the missing interface component and general lack of interface alterations required to match the hardware as sold did nothing to remedy the situation.

Does anyone have a known good image of the SD card for firmware version 1.0.7, duet 2 pcb revision 1.04c that I can flash my SD card with to resolve this issue?

Also, can someone please tell me why this text has gotten my posts deleted twice now?

Is there a default password?

Do I need to connect via USB and YAT to set it up again?

⟐ Commented April 03, 2026, 6:16 MST

Tried reformatting and replacing the image to the SDCard from the firmware page but now the SDcards "firmware" folder is empty. Added files from old SDcard backup and nothing happened.


M122 reads that the sdcard is detected and lists speeds.
M122 p104 s10 responds within range according to the duet2 docs guide.



Any ideas?
