So I finally had a little time to play with it more. I just printed the default example and that worked. So, the problem lies in my CAM setup from...
Thanks David the swarfer, Yes, I downloaded the Virtual COM port drivers last week, and I had even seen your newer post processor. I couldn't tell...
Thanks for replying Giarc, Good question - yes, when I home the machine and set the work coords, everything is fine according to my setup. I'm...
Hi CAM experts. After a year not using my school's WorkBee 1010 with xPRO, plus having the computer go down, I'm trying to restore all of the...
Perhaps through all of the vibrations of the CNC this summer, one of the small wires had apparently shifted enough off of the lead to where a...
Hi All, Yesterday, the Y-axis of my Workbee 1010 did not move. As I normally do, I set everything up for a cut and started a homing cycle, which...
Thanks David for the extra info today. Much appreciated.
You're awesome. Thanks for your help Shawn.
I'm inserting my gcode below for your review. I'm not seeing G53. The Z problem still persists with this file (and other files generated from...
Yes, oddly, Z going up until the limit switch was triggered was indeed the first move it made. Taking everything into account (inches vs. mm,...
Thanks...we're away from our CNC for awhile but will try some things and then re-post later this afternoon.
Thanks for replying so quickly Shawn, The info you provided makes sense. However, the behavior from our machine is different--on run, Z goes...
Hi All, We've finished our Workbee 1010, have set the Grbl settings, and calibrated XYZ in the OpenBuilds CONTROL v1.0.179. Our practice cut is...
The homing cycle works now. I didn't really do anything other than complete the x-y-z calibration in the Wizards and & Tools (didn't need to...
Thank you Sharmstr. I will run through the machine calibration in the Wizards as soon as possible tomorrow.
Hi All, I'm very new to CNC and Grbl, and and trying to finalize the setup of a Workbee 1010. Limit switches are on the ends of the X, Y and Z,...
Thanks Hector for the dust shoe recommendation. Will do. A friend of mine (the other builder on this machine) recommended the low profile clamps...
Thanks Isisyodin, You're right, there are a number of things that one will need to add to their base order of the Workbee. Great idea about the...
A friend of mine (retired engineer) had a nice miter saw with a nice metal cutting blade. He made a custom jig to a length a little less than the...
I friend of mine says he has the tools to do it. Thanks so much Gary (and others above) for the aluminum cutting tips. Much appreciated.
