I have a Workbee I purchased from Ooznest. The board that came with it was the Duet3d WiFi. I had Ryan at Ooznest set it up for me via teamviewer. Everything worked well for awhile until it kept crashing. I contacted Ooznest and they said it shouldn't be crashing but they couldn't figure out why. They eventually refunded me the cost of the board and I looked at other programs to get my machine running. After trying several boards and not understanding how to get them to work I decided to purchase another Duet3D WiFi board. I purchased a new board from Filaster and asked if they had support and could help me get it setup. After I received the board, I called and asked them to help me setup the new board. They said they couldn't do it because they didn't know about the Workbee and also refused a return. I contacted Ryan at Ooznest to maybe have them set it up for me but they said they only support the initial board sent with the machine. Now I have a board that is installed and I have the control panel but it doesn't have the homey, homex and homez in the system config file. I have been unable to get the machine to run or even move. I am a novice when it comes to setting this up so I am looking to the experts to maybe help me out. I am not sure what to do next. If someone could do a teamviewer that would be awesome.
Hi Donal, sorry to hear about your problems. I have a Duet WiFi powered Workbee as well and I have not have any troubles in setting it up and it works fairly well. The folks on Ooznest have a very nice Wiki site with a whole lot of guides to help you set it up. Have you check it out?. It might seem intimidating at first but if you go step by step, should be no problem. Also... Do you have the Workbee firmware running? Are all your endstops wired correctly? What size of Workbee do you have? I have the 100x100 cm (aprox). If you want, I could send you my config.g and all other related .g files. But you need to have the firmware installed (not that it is much different that the original Duet)
Hi Felix, thanks for the reply. I was able to get my machine running. I am using Cut 2D Pro as a design program but don’t know which post processor to use to get the Duet to run the G-code. Do you have a suggestion.
Glad to hear you sorted it out. I am using Fusion360 for all my 3D related things. Ooznest has a post processor for it. I would strongly suggest you give it a try. It is a really powerful environment for all things 3D. Actually one of these days I want to get myself busy in trying to modify the post processor to add a bit of gcode which will turn on and off the router. Also, I created some Macros for the Workbee‘s Duet. You can check them out: FelixHauser/macros-Workbee I am working with a PanelDue display on the machine and they come really in handy.
Hi All, I don't know if I am posting in the right place or not. I am having a problem with my Duet3d again for my CNC. I go thru all the setups and configuring my CNC but when I put the suggest code 192.168.68.111 I get this message "Your Duet rejected the HTTP request: page not found Check that the SD card is mounted and has the correct files in its /www folder" I deleted the www files as requested and reinstalled the www files but still won't boot up. Can anyone let me know how to format and where to go to reinstall the proper files to get my Duet up and running? I know it's a problem with the SD card but the files on there are all goofed up.
