Can't help you with actual numbers, but had an identical situation with my workbee. Just to be on the safe side and make sure it didn't reach its...
Not quite following you @Bofus, the drawing in your first message moves the X axis, your later drawings move the Y. The first drawing seems over...
2nd idea is better. Alex :thumbsup:
How would you ensure that the belt (red) stayed in contact with the teeth on the drive pulley? Alex.
Can you jog the X and Y axes? If necessary switch off the power and move the X and Y to the middle of the bed by hand (turn the motor couplers) -...
Did it home the Z AND Y axes when you homed Y (it's supposed to do that) or just the Z. Alex.
Hi @Donald Oehlke, if there is anything I can do to help get your workbee running let me know what the problems are. Alex.
Thanks @sharmstr. Alex :thumbsup:
Just checking - I'm probably going to stick with machine co-ordinates anyway - but is G53 not modal. Forgive the ignorance but I'm very much a...

Thanks @sharmstr, I haven't had a chance to look at your post processor yet. I was hoping to use G30.1/G30 instead of homing, but need to have a...
Going back to your original question are you planning on making canopies for full size aircraft? If so most hobby machines are very limited on...
Thanks both, I have the added problem of working out how/if the Duet differs from generic grbl. I was going to start by creating some simple G...
Is that a vectric trial? It should generate mm g code if you use the grbl (mm) post processor - I think the trial software let's you do that even...
Hi @G-Wizard, did you manage to get your sign cut yet? I'm going to have a look at the resources on cnc cookbook to try to learn some basic gcode....
I don't know what formats Autocad can export, but suggest you look at what formats cam software can import. I use Fusion 360 and there is...
