Does it work like that?

I connect my XYZ Touch probe.

I start compensation process and move XYZ probe under my tool so when it touches probe, it will save it’s Z height on that spot and move to next point.

As a result i will have plane of different points with different heights so my engraver will know when to move up and down a bit to compensate.

I intend to replace all of the crimp pins terminating all of the motor cables.

Can you recommend a crimping tool that's going to give me a good connection between the Crimp Pins and the exposed wire?

The crimper I have doesn't do the job and I'm not getting good results with long nosed pliers (I'm not good at soldering so would prefer not to do this unless I have to!).

Thanks

So question is can the workbee handle a router capable of handling the heavier bit?

Any recommendations?

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.

I finally decided to just do something about it and added a 800x800x3 mm aluminium box section to the back of my X axis, and my problems have now completely disappeared. I was previously limited to using 3.5mm endmills because anything larger would result in extreme amounts of chatter and vibration, now I can easily take 5mm passes in birch plywood with a 6mm compression bit.

This probably isn't terribly useful for people with a stock workbee, as it's not possible to add an extra extrusion to the back of the X axis with the stock V wheels, but maybe it still helps someone else!

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

1. Firstly "step 2", sending M587 S"your-network-name" P"your-password" (with name and password substituted never returns an OK.
2. Continuing through the steps throws up this message: M552
   WiFi module is connected to access point , IP address 255.255.255.255
   ok. A green light comes on between the wifi antenna and SD card. However I cannot connect to the workbee through my browser (255.255.255.255 is not useful).

Please can you help?

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.

Having tried different drill bits thickness' and speeds etc with no change, I am getting a bit lost as to what the problem is, although when watching it work, I noticed that the machine seems to have a bit of a judder when changing directions.

Once the job had completed, I turned it off and felt that their seems to be some give/wobble, whereby the wheels can move forward and backward by about 3mm, I have attached a video with sound below to show the movement.

Should the WorkBee have this kind of looseness to it? Should I tighten it somehow? I inherited this machine at my new work place (colleague who set it up has left over a year ago). I would appreciate any advice or link to a guide on getting the correct tension on this axis, and whether this could be impacting the accuracy of my router.

Thank you very much in advance anyone that can help!

To try to resolve this, I set up the job again in Fusion and ran a simulation, this appears to be fine.

I then had a look at the code in G Code viewer, which appears fine also and shows no glitches.

I have now run the job again and the same happened at the same point in the job?

Can anyone advise please as this is starting to make face twitch?

I came into the workshop and turned everything on. I loaded up the control panel on my laptop and homed the CNC, everything was working fine. While setting up the machine, I noticed that I needed to make a change to the design. I left the workshop (as I work on my designs in the office) made the changes and went back to the workshop . when i arrived i noticed the connection had been lost to the control board.

I have tried to reconnect for the last 4 hours to no success. The laptop is showing that the ethernet is not connected. I have double checked the ethernet properties and they are fine. I have changed ethernet cable & tried a different laptop and still wont connect.

Really struggling to work out what to do next?

Any help would be grateful

Im in the installing process. Homing commands are working with all axis (z, x and y). But now I'm giving jogging command Y-50, and Y axis should move 50mm, but it's only moving 7mm. And Y-10 is moving only 1mm. Z and X axis commands are working correctly.

What is the problem and how can I fix this?

Thanks!

I recently fitted a Vevor air cooled motor and am wondering if the weight of it is on the border of what the motor can hold.

Also is there a solution for this?
