<title><![CDATA[Ethernet isnt connecting or lighting, YAT responds but no IP]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After hitting the emergency stop the machine is no longer connecting and the ethernet port on both the machine and laptop side arent lighting up.<br />IP 192.168.251.2 Isnt responding and neither is Workbee.local.<br /><br />IPv4 addresses match the setup guide and tried default gateways 192.168.251.0, 192.168.251.1, and 192.168.251.2 (when it was working prior it was set to 2).<br />M115 in YAT reads the correct firmware.<br />Initially YAT reads the IP 192.168.251.2 but after the M552 S0, M552 S1 P0.0.0.0 lines M552 returns the IP 0.0.0.0 until i unplug and replug the usb cable.<br /><br />Tried a different ethernet cable.<br />Tried another laptop.</p>

<p>Tried reformatting and replacing the image to the SDCard from the firmware page but now the SDcards &quot;firmware&quot; folder is empty.  Added files from old SDcard backup and nothing happened.<br /><br /><br />M122 reads that the sdcard is detected and lists speeds.<br />M122 p104 s10 responds within range according to the duet2 docs guide.<br /><br /><br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />Chris<br /></p>

<title><![CDATA[Feeds & speeds for 1/8" Square End 2 Flute Up Cut in aluminium]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>We are running a <strong>WorkBee Z1+ CNC</strong> with a <strong>Duet 2 Ethernet (RepRapFirmware 3.3)</strong> and are looking for recommended <strong>feeds &amp; speeds for aluminium</strong> using the following tool:</p>

<p><strong>Tool type:</strong> End Mill<br /><strong>Units:</strong> inches<br /><strong>Diameter (D):</strong> 0.125 inches<br /><strong>No. Flutes:</strong> 2<br /><strong>Tool:</strong> 1/8&quot; Square End, 2 Flute, Up Cut</p>

<p><strong>Material:</strong> Aluminium plate, 5 mm thick<br /><strong>Spindle:</strong> WorkBee Router Head (manual dial 1–6, approx. 13,000–33,000 RPM)<br /><strong>CAM:</strong> Vectric VCarve</p>

<p>Below is the <strong>exact parameter order as shown in VCarve</strong>, and we would appreciate confirmation or correction of suitable values for aluminium on a WorkBee:</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Cutting_Parameters" class="header">Cutting Parameters</h3></div>

<ul><li>Pass Depth: ?</li><li>Stepover: ?</li></ul>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Feeds_and_Speeds" class="header">Feeds and Speeds</h3></div>

<ul><li>Spindle Speed (RPM): ?</li><li>Feed Units: inches/min</li><li>Chip Load: ?</li><li>Feed Rate (XY): ?</li><li>Plunge Rate (Z): ?</li><li>Tool Number: 1</li></ul>

<p>We previously snapped a 1/8&quot; tool and want to make sure we are running <strong>conservative but correct settings</strong> for aluminium on a belt-driven WorkBee.</p>

<p>Any real-world recommendations from Ooznest users would be very helpful.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I generally leave my machine homed, and as a habit hit home when i next switch it on.</p>

<p>I did this this morning and then moved the router to a convenient position near the front of the bed to change the router bit. Once changed I hit home all on the dashboard.</p>

<p>The z axis dropped and no other axes even tried to home. I keep getting the error “target position outside limits” and now I cannot manually move the router in any direction or “insufficient axes homed”</p>

<title><![CDATA[Job not appearing in the Gcode viewer]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am trying to complete the first project file on the Ooznest workbee Z1+ 1500x1000, however I cannot see the blue path in the Gcode preview viewer. I have homed my workbee as well as calibrating the touch probe.</p>

<p>It is saying that the file is successfully loaded but there is no visible path appearing. I have switched on the built in plug ins, but I can't find any information anywhere on why I can't see this.</p>

<p>I have tried multiple suggested online solutions to sort it but nothing is working.</p>

<p>Is there any way to solve this as it's stopped any progress in its tracks. Any help would be appreciated!</p>

<title><![CDATA[How do I prevent unwanted Z-axis vertical 'play'?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm trying to face-mill a piece of aluminium and finding that the end-mill (6mm diam, horiz feed rate = 3.00mm, cut depth = 0.35mm, spindle ~ 20000 (6 on makita router) is not cutting absolutely level - i.e. at constant z with respect to X,Y position. On light finger (vertical) pressure on stationary end-mill I see that the whole Z stage rocks slightly on its supporting extrusion. I've attached video to demonstrate this. This (X aligned) extrusion seems to be nice and stable. I've checked the various screw and nuts that are visible/accessible and all these seem tight. Please can you assist?</p>

<p>Many thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I am trying to connect the controller of my mashine to my laptop. When I followed the manual, at the end of step &quot;1. Connecting your Controller via USB - Windows&quot; I encountered the Error 9 after typing M115 into YAT.</p>

<p>But the USB connection is valid, I selected the right port and right before this step, the Terminal form was filled with the correct information.</p>

<p>Maybe I missed something, but I also double checked it. Sorry I'm quite new to this topic.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Z axis suddenly dropping catastrophically!]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>We've suddenly had this issue three times in the last few days. Midway through a cut, the z axis suddenly drops to its limit. It's happened at different points on the same program, so we think it's an issue machine side, not in the gcode. Anyone encounter this issue before, or able to offer any suggestions as to where to start fixing it? My first action will be to deep clean the machine, check the tightness of everything etc.</p>

<p>When I select go to 'work zero' in the console it also does so.</p>

<p>However this is only about  25% of the way toward the centre of the bed.</p>

<ul><li>once in this position I cannot move it any further toward the front, or the left with out getting an out of bounds error message.</li></ul>

<p>How can I set the parameters to use the whole bed?</p>

<p>Or is that automatically adjusted when I load a file to cut?</p>
