I have been experimenting with a system to reduce or remove leadscrew whip on CNC machines. My device works well and can be retrofitted to a Workbee without dismantling the Y axis. There is a small tradeoff as the axis travel is reduced but on long shafts the increase in gantry positioning speed may be acceptable.
