Hello, I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas to what my problem might be. My machine is all setup and I have completed cutting my spoiler board with the workbee and I have it attached to the CNC. Now I have attached a 3/4" piece of MDF to run my first project, I have it Homed and I have found my XYS work zero set. Now every time I try to start a project all I get is the error below. Im stumped because it was working perfect when I made my spoiler board. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bill
Hi @biaquinto, we need more info please; What controller? What thickness spoiler board? Is this the Openbuilds workbee? (ie not the Ooznest one) What clearance on the Z axis between spoiler board and Z home have you got? What software did you design your project with and how much Z clearance did you set in your cam software? Most likely cause of problem is your g-code is trying to lift the Z axis to clear the workpiece beyond the space available (also check where you defined the workpiece origin in your cam software and that you have enough space in the X and Y axes to do the job. Alex.
Hi Alex, thanks for responding. Duet 2 controller Spoiler board is 3/4 MDF Project board is 3/4" MDF It is the Ooznest 1015 screw drive Clearance from the spoiler board to the Z axis home is 2 7/8" I designed it with Aspire and the Home/Start position Z gap above material is 20.32mm.
I am uploading the GCODE directly to the Duet2 web interface. I only use aspire and the web connection to the duet2. Is this wrong? Bill
When you save your toolpath in Aspire you have a (large) choice of post processors to use. Which one are you using? You should be using the Grbl (mm) (*. gcode) one. Alex.
Hi Alex you hit it right on the nose. I adjusted the safe Z and it works again. I appreciate all your help. Thanks
