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.
