Recently bought a Workbee 1500 x 1500 used, I believe is a V1 because it has belts. After doing all the recommendations and following the all the How To’s the machine seems to be working ok… BUT! there’s a constant chain of high temperature warnings from all drivers, they just keep coming, literally none stop… so what is this? and how to fix it?

The other thing that i’m confused with is: when I turn on the machine it seems fine, but when I home the machine, or move one of the axis, the stepper motor stays on (like a noise that is running) so is this supposed to be like this? are steppers motors supposed to have a running noise going on all the time? or is because of this constant running the reason for getting the high temperature warnings?

Thanks in advance, just a newbie here!

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 have the all the bits necessary (adaptor ring etc) but am unsure at what height to mount it on the Z axis extrusion.

Any other advice on the process would be most helpful.

Thanks

The range of the x axis travel does not seem to be central to the machine

Homing the x axis allows the z axis mounting bracket to collide with one of the nuts on the right hand gantry plate when moving down in the z axis,

The centre of the machine is about 5 mm out from the centre of the cutting area ( 275mm on the 1000 * 750 machine)

This image shows the x axis homed, you can see that when the z axis is lowered it collides with the nut on the wheel assembly, the distance between the z c-beam and the y plate is about 7 mm

this image shows the x axis at machine position x0 y 0, here the distance between the z c-beam and the y plate is about 17 mm

This picture shows the x axis limit switch correctly fitted -as far as I know

A solution would appear to be to move the limit switch about 5mm away from the y plate but I suspect that there is something in one of the config files that allows the “Bounce” amount after hitting the limit switch to be adjusted.

Anyone have any ideas?

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

I've adjusted the tension on the screws and the v wheels, the frame is square to the millimeter, no slop in anything and I've adjusted both yaxis screws so that they are the same distance from the face plates when homed.

However, when I jog the machine to 0,0,0 there is (always) a difference of about 2.5mm between the left gantry plate and the front of the machine compared to that on the right hand side. When homed again there is no discrepancy. Is this something I should be concerned about.
