You can increase the speed of the WorkBee, Ooznest recommends a maximum speed of 2500mm/min.
However, you can increase the speed by adjusting the command below in config.g:
M203 X2500 Y2500 Z2500 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min)

I modified the Interface Movement Settings which allowed me to increase my X axis speed but my Y axis is still capped.
Is there a way to change it?
Is there also a way to have the interface list its current code settings?
Hi Chris, the interface setting just applys to jogging. How are you trying to move quicker in a job or just jogging?
I am afraid there is no way to display it on the interface.
Jogging.
I see M201 and M203 in the code dictionary but only one was listed in the config file. I added/modified both and now do not remember what the defaults were. 203 seems intermittent.
The X axis did increase its jog speed past 2500 but the longer Y axis did not.
Is there a place to find what the default settings are?
Hi,
The jog speed is in the interface, see this image: https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/ig...
2500mm is the maximum the machine will be able to move, even if this setting is higher.
Thanks

The arrows in the image you sent are pointing to the sensors, the working area, the probe and the calibration. I do see the interface movement settings above which i have raised.
My X axis is currently jogging at 5000mm so is there a speed cap solely on the longer axis?

Hi Chris,
The panel above the blue arrow, allows you to change the jog speed.
The limit on all axes, regardless of length, is 2500mm/min.

Hi @robertooznest , @chrisjr28 ,
I think that this topic is very very important for this product. I found the machine speed very limiting the only downside of it so far. I spend really a lot of time watching the machine going at 50% speed of what the router head can handle.
I followed the steps described in this thread and I found myself in the same situation.
Step 1: Edited to M203 X4000 Y4000 Z2500 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min) the M203 command in the config.g file.
- The X axis jog max speed and job max speed is now 4000 mm/min.
- The Y axis is still capped to 2500 mm/min
- (no real interest in the Z axis)
Step 2: I kept the config.g file with the "new" command and adjusted the parameter from your screenshot --> Interface movement settings to 4000.
- X axis jog and job max speed at 4000 mm/s and Y axis still in capped to 2500 mm/min
I thought that maybe the M203 command has to be entered 3 times in the config.g file but it's just a guess, I am going to try tomorrow.
M203 X4000;
M203Y4000;
M203 Z2500 ;
I think that if we can have this sorted out could be really a game changer for this product.
Many thanks for the support! I will give an updated about the 3 commands try.

I found out! The M203 commands is present in the confi-axes.g file as follows:
M203 X2500 Y2500 Z2500 U2500 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min)
I modified the X and Y values but was still working for the X axis only. I then modified the U values as well and... worked! I still need to understand what the U parameter is for by the way.
Final answer:
To increase machine speed edit the M203 X4000 Y4000 Z2500 U4000 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min) command in 0:/sys/config-axes.g file
