Can I manually move the machine to a set point without using the jogging buttons?

Hi Joe, Thanks for your message. Yes this is possible, you would follow this guide here: How To Connect A Software Emergency Stop Button Thanks!

Hi James, Thanks for your message. What was the IP Address you entered in via notepad?

Hi Jim, Thanks for your message. When you did Step 11, did you check your Ethernet Port settings matched the image? And change them to match if not.

Hi Martin, Thanks for your message. Are you setting the machine up from new? Thanks

Hi Mike, Thanks for your message. Can you double check the External Antenna is correctly plugged into the controller? (The centre pin on the Antenna, should go into the hole on the controller connector)

Hi Mike Thanks for your message, what antenna does your Duet have, is it the built in one, or external one?

Hi, Thanks for your message. Yes this is possible as long as you get the Wifi version of the machine.

Hi Nicky, It could be the way your machine is setup in Vectric causing. Please do the following: - Go to Machine > Machine Configuration - Press the cloud download icon in the top right corner and wait for the post-processor download to complete - Manufacturer = Ooznest - Series = WorkBee Z1+ - Model = Your Machine Size - Press 'Download'

Hi Allen, Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear about the issues you are having. If you go to Control > Console you can see the full error. We have made a guide on solving the Outside Machine Limits error here: Outside Machine Limits Troubleshooting Give that a read and let me know if it does not solve your issue. (Please note if you have an M3 error, this error is not the reason why your job is not running. The M3 error is just trying to set the speed on a spindle. But with the WorkBee we use manual speed control router heads.)

Hi Chris, Thanks for your message. So a U drive is setup by default now, so it should make what you are trying to do easier. Everything is now set in config-axes.g: ; Axes configuration executed by config.g M584 X0 Y1 Z2 U3 ; Apply drive mapping to axes M584 P3 M906 X2400 Y2400 Z2400 U2400 I100 ; Set motor currents (mA) M92 X400 Y400 Z400 U400 ; Set steps per mm M350 X16 Y16 Z16 U16 I1 ; Configure microstepping M203 X2500 Y2500 Z2500 U2500 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min) M201 X150 Y150 Z150 U150 ; Set accelerations (mm/s^2) M566 X500 Y500 Z500 U500 ; Set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min) M669 K0 X1:0:0:0 Y0:1:0:1 Z0:0:1:0 To get the U-Axis to home it, you just need to send this: M584 P4 M669 K0 X1:0:0:0 Y0:1:0:0 Z0:0:1:0 U0:0:0:1 Then do your home, and then put the U back onto the Y: M584 P3 M669 K0 X1:0:0:0 Y0:1:0:1 Z0:0:1:0

Yes, but there is additional setup for it, see below:

- Turn off mains power to your WorkBee and plug it in via Ethernet to your home router or networked switch

- Connect via USB following this guide: 1. Connecting your Controller via USB - Windows (Ignore the first point where it says do not follow this guide if you have the Ethernet version of the Controller)

- Send the command: M552 S0 and wait 10 seconds

- Send the command: M552 S1 P0.0.0.0 and wait 30 seconds

- Send the command: M552

- It should come back with an IP Address the WorkBee is now connected under. Go to this IP Address in your web browser and bookmark it.

- In WorkBee Control go to Files > System and open config-network.g

- Find this line: M552 S1 P192.168.251.2 and change it to M552 S1 P<IP ADDRESS>

Change <IP ADDRESS> to the IP Address you are currently connected under.

- Save the file, do not restart.

- Unplug via USB and turn on mains power. It should reconnect under the new IP Address

Hi Gareth,

This is not ideal, contact us to replace them.

Only if you connect it to your home network, not directly to your computer

You would need to connect the WorkBee to your network, we only cover connecting it direct to your computer

Hi Tom,

Is this a machine from new?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you send through a picture of your settings please?

Thanks!

Hi Aegir,

The endmill is not in that picture. The endmill goes into the collet.

The grease should go on the outside of the collet.

Thanks

Hi,

For attaching it to the C-Beam extrusion, you should use a drop in tee nut.

Thanks!

Hi Theo,

That depends on the endmill, and what you are trying to cut. You want at least the same amount as the collet clamping section inside.
