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...

Workbee router head setting

Fri, 25 Aug 2023 15:08:16 -0700

Hi, so I’ve set everything up and was just trying to carry out the first test project and noticed that the bottom nipple (coupler) underneath the router control is hitting the 18mm mdf before the router bit is. I had set the router head at the height instructed in the setup stages and have also made sure the router but is protruding only 30mm as also requested.

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

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?

Having trouble connecting to the duet Web control using WiFi. When I do manage to connect it loses connection almost straight away and tries reconnecting again. It was working fine until I'd completed a project and homed the machine then had trouble since. Gone through yat and got the ip address and the message that it's connected to the WiFi.

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?

What is the connector type used on the touch probe?

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 01:44:55 -0700

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.

Workbee Hardware Revisions List?

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 00:46:47 -0700

I have just got hold of a used Workbee. The seller does not know exactly what version it is and there are no obvious identifying marks.

It has leadscrews and a Duet controller so I guess it is V2 or later but it is at least 18 moths old I am told.

I see there are build guides for various revisions of V2.

Is there a place listing the changes made in the various revisions so that I can narrow down which Guide I should use when checking over the build?

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?
