How do I adjust the steps/mm on my Duet WorkBee?

Does the Katsu/Makita/DeWalt Router connect to the Duet Controller?

WorkBee Duet Wifi vs Ethernet

What is the maximum MCU Temperature of the Duet/WorkBee?

The Limit Switch on the WorkBee updates in WorkBee Control after a couple of seconds?

Is there software to calculate Speeds & Feeds?

Can I use a USB to Ethernet Adaptor with my Ethernet WorkBee?

I keep getting 'Outside Machine Limits' Error?

Can I increase the maximum speed of the WorkBee CNC Machine?

How do I remove a remembered Wifi Network from the WorkBee?

Hi Nick, Thanks for your email. If you complete this step here: 3. Connecting, Updating and Configuring Your WorkBee It will solve your issue. Best Regards Ryan Lock

Hi, Thanks for your message. Yes, we don’t offer enclosures for any machine with an axis larger than 1000mm. The main reason is because of practicality when it is a larger machine you would need to get around the sides to reach all sides of the spoiler board. Therefore if you were going to make an enclosure for that size, you may want to think about adding doors on at least 3 of the sides. Best Regards Ryan Lock

Hi Barry, Thanks for your message. If you set the Work XYZ Zero without using the touch probe, does the Go To Work XYZ Zero work correctly? Best Regards Ryan Lock

Hi Paul, Thanks for your questions. Please see my answer here on things to look at which should resolve your issue: I keep getting 'Outside Machine Limits' Error? Best Regards Ryan Lock

Hi Phil, A full list of G-Code supported can be found here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode You CAM program should be able to output them just using G1, G2, G3 moves. Best Regards Ryan Lock

To change the steps/mm on my Duet WorkBee copy the lines from config.g to customconfig.g: ; Configure Axes M92 X400 Y400 Z400 ; Set steps per mm Adjust the X, Y and Z Values to your new calibrated values. To find your new calibrated steps/mm you can cut a piece of material 100mm in the X and Y. If you cut a piece which is set as 100mm in your CAM program, and it comes out 95mm in reality on the X for example. The new steps per mm would be as follows 400 x (100/95) = 421. The settings on customconfig.g would change to: ; Configure Axes M92 X421 Y400 Z400 ; Set steps per mm Remember, after changing customconfig.g make sure to restart your controller.

Hi, The WorkBee can machine soft metals, such as aluminium. However, we would not recommend machining steel on the WorkBee. Best Regards Ryan Lock

Hi Mateus, Thanks for your answer and feedback. I have adjusted that step to make it clearer: 3. Connecting, Updating and Configuring Your WorkBee Ryan

Hi, We have only tested our WorkBee Control with RepRapFirmware 2.03 which we supply in the ‘WorkBee Firmware’ package. Ryan

The Katsu/Makita/DeWalt Router does not connect to the Duet Controller. The router plugs directly into the mains power, separate from the controller. The speed is controlled manually using the thumb wheel on the router.

Hi Scott,

Yeah the 1500x1500mm would be good for this, all sizes would be :)

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, our 1500x1500mm can do this: https://ooznest.co.uk/product/workbee-cn....

Hard to say the time without seeing the design. But maybe around 20 minutes.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your comment.

It does already mention this in 2 red warnings at the top of this step: 3. X-Carriage Assembly

Best Regards

Ryan

I have made this change and fixed it.

Hi, You will need longer screws to do this I am afraid

Hi, Probably 18mm for the lowest one and 12mm for the top one would be good.

I meant the blue section, it was only the green section which has that warning. I have re-worded it to make it clearer.

Hi Mateus,

Everything is there to get the WorkBee working. I think you have missed off the blue step here: 3. Connecting, Updating and Configuring Your WorkBee

Hi Alex,

For quite some time now the plates we supply have a hole big enough for the connector to fit through without drilling or removing the connector.

Hi James, you can ignore the clamping collar position in this picture. It was pulled from a previous version.
