Could someone please clarify what M106 M107 will do on a workbee z1+ before I use it to switch my router off and on with a relay as I’m not sure to which port it relates to and what voltage.

SD Card Storage Size

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 00:50:29 -0700

I’m going to need a high amount of storage on my Workbee Z1 , is this just a case of switching the Sd Card for a higher capacity one or does this hold information for the machine itself?

Getting an uneven bottom section on large pockets

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 01:02:21 -0700

This has happened a few times now but unfortunately this time it matters!
The uneven bottom section looks as if it could have been caused by the tool slipping down over time but it definitely isn’t because it doesn’t get consistently lower as you would expect…the two examples here are a vcarve with clearance pass and a basic large pocket, both to around 6mm depth I think. You can see the tool path pattern and irregular height fairly easily in these photos…

any ideas?

Is it “safe” to update the workbee Duet2 firmware with releases from Duet3D and keep the ooznest supplied WebControl files?

Sudden workbee fault issue

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 01:21:48 -0700

Hi there, been using my workbee for a couple of years now, when suddenly it stopped, 99% of the way through a job. Whenever I now try to power the duet from the power supply, all the limit switches LEDs, as well as the green and red LEDs along the edge, flash over and over.

If I connect my laptop over YAT with the power supply turned off, the device behaves normally and I can see the web interface, and everything reports fine in YAT, so I have no idea what these flashing LEDs could mean, and can’t find any mention of this in the documentation. Any ideas?

Cheers

Can not connect to YAT via cable

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 01:50:19 -0700

Hi guys, hope you are doing well,

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

'G2/G3: Outside Machine Limits' error

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 01:13:34 -0700

Hi,

I’m running into the apparently infamous G2/G3 arc error when using my Workbee with Fusion 360. I picked the CNC up a couple of months ago (long after the last firmware release) and I have installed the latest post processor for Fusion 360 (V1.0.1).

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?

How do I get into the control panel to operate the machine?

Fri, 20 Aug 2021 02:44:18 -0700

after getting this cnc set up this morning I took it it would work with the same program as my other workbee…which is Estlcam…but it will not connect and operate with it!

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.

Outside Machine Limits - zaxis

Mon, 09 Aug 2021 01:22:55 -0700

I have been trying to dril holes into a spoiler board.

I have mounted two one on top of the other.

I set the work zero correctly at 0,0 and using a piece of paper drop the millend until it just grabs the paper.

I then set this to be the work coordinate 0,0,0 and start the spindle.

Subsequently the Gcode fails as soon as z goes negative (first plunge) with a GI/G0 alert saying I am outside limits.

When I start the spindle and ask to drill below the 0 height using the console buttons (-05mm) it fails again.

What am I missing?

Thanks

How many Y-ACME-Lead-Screw are in kit

Mon, 02 Aug 2021 08:21:09 -0700

Hi Guys,

In “2. Y-Plate Assembly”, “Step 4”, when assembling the workbee 2.3.1 it says “repeat this section with the other Y plate”, which is a mirror image. I can only find 1 Y-ACME-Lead-Screw (which was in with the other 3 x 1.5m lead screws in the box with the beams). Is there supposed to be 2? I can’t see any in the other boxes.

If there are supposed to be 2, 1 for each Y plate, how would I go about getting sent one?

Many thanks,

Andy

V11 upgrade gcode post processor?

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 01:04:06 -0700

I have just upgraded Cut2D Desktop to version 11. When choosing a post processor for gcode output, it no longer offers a list that includes the GRBL processor, but gives me just Duet arcs (mm) *.gcode. I have a 1m by 1m workbee that I bought and built a year ago which has the duet wireless board on it. Does anyone have advice on how I can set up the right post processor? Many thanks in advance! - Sean
