The thing that I was hoping to see but didn't was how do you turn the spindle on? When I run UGS the spindle never turns on automatically and I haven't found a manual switch to turn it on. Candle has both of those, but I was told UGS was much better, so I wanted to run that. I'm using a Genmitsu 3018 pro CNC. Any ideas to help me with this would be greatly appreciated.

help I made a good 3 axis cnc mill/router, it has a mach3 usb interface, i can manually jog it with mach3 software. what free design/drawing program can i use and then convert to gcode for mach3 to run the machine? only want 2.5 axis to cut simple parts either cutting /or up and not cutting. example a 5cmx5cm square with rounded corners with a 3mm hole in each corner. would ugs be able to talk to the mach3 usb interface to opperate the machine?
I have a 2019 Workbee with the Duet 2 controller. The machine has been mothballed due to illness and never connected. Is there instructions/Video on how to connect from the laptop to Duet 2 controller? Is the program different?
How you would use the to start the file from a certain point. But you have to be careful doing this, and make sure everything is setup as if it was actually at that point when starting the file from there
@@ooznest i mean to ask when the machine stops halfway and we have to start from same point again due to any reason (power shut down, computer or whatever reason). how we know the particular part of the file to start with?
Cut2D, V-Carve and Aspire are windows only, therefore they do not work on a Mac. You could run them through a program like Parallels: www.parallels.com/ If you did go the Parallels route, we would not be able to offer assistance setting up Parallels. WorkBee Control is browser-based and installed on the controller, therefore it will work on any device with a web browser.
Hi. Have brand new work bee sat ready to go, so installed this as instructed but when I press open I don’t get the active state or any bumpf in the console part. Work bee duet connected, Yat for my terminal connected. I can move the axis’s via the duet but not with G code sender. Any help would be appreciated
hello,i can't connect my workbee z1 with UGS (no serial ports found).My connection is ethernet from cnc to usb on laptop using the workbee adaptor.Is this connection right or i must connect ethernet to ethernet?
Hello. how to change and what exactly in Gbrl settings to increase my engraving area.My machine is 65 x 50.My current engraving area is 30x30 cm and can not move laser more than tbat.I want 50x50 cm.What exactly to change.
@@ooznest i tried to change directly on LaserGbrl software configuration.But nothing happened.Maybe I need new gbrl 1.1 and to adjust before and then to import.Or not...i am not sure
@@ooznest i am new in this.I tried arudino today to uoad gbrl 1.1 ut my board is not arudinio it is some nano I don't know exactly which.I have T2 laser software and with this one software machine is going all along.But I discovered when I wanted to upload machine dimension in T2 software it says that my scatch is 300x300mm...which is exactly same engraving area on LaserGrbl software.Thats confusing me...how to change this scetch to 500x500mm.
With GRBL i am afraid you would need to edit your G-Code file using a text editor and find the line where it stopped. Have you thought about switching to the Duet as this has better support for situations like this.
Question: Just started using cnc. My machine does not have auto shut offs when reaching the end travel. Have made the mistake of heading in the wrong direction. Sounds like it hops over the threads when it reaches the end of its limit. Disconnect the power cable doesn't work, and disconnected machine via ugs does help either. Can it shut the machine down using a ugs command???
UGS version 2 has a stop button (square icon) on the top. There should be a bigger on-screen kill-switch. Maybe a macro/add-on exists. Probably not too hard to create one. Big CNCs should have at least one physical big red-button easily accessible for safety. (coming from someone who almost lost my hand in a packaging machine but was saved by a kill-switch, before it maybe killed me :) Flipping off the power-switch to the motors on the GRBL circuit board is also a good safety / motor-cut-off.
Hi, we are sell our machines with a cnc xpro controller. The manual to wire these can be found here: mk0oozneste7bah52job.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/WorkBee-Full-Kit-Assembly-Manual.pdf
Is there a way to prevent endmill scratching the surface of stock from zero position to work lead in position? I was trying to use maximum stock. but after you set zero the machine moves to the lead in position in the same z level until it reaches work lead in. It does not scratch work by the stock.
Hey sir, i hope you're doing good. Ok, i have a problem, i'm running a cnc prototype, on Arduino Uno / GRBL 1.1 with Universal Gcode Sender Platform (UGS Platform) And when ever i send the Gcode file, it starts moving from (0 ; 0 ; 0) axes to the first point of the actual Draw i did in the Gcode, and STOPS. it says : G-code words consist of a letter and a value. Letter was not found. i'd love to see what do u think about it and how can i fix it.
@@ooznest for the design I use inkscape to draw something and the I export it to .gcode file (installed an extension for for exporting this type of files) After this I send to the UGS platform
@@visa-schengenwf424 What post-processor option does is give you? Sounds like it isn't exporting it correctly. Can you send us a copy of your G-Code file
Ok NOOOW I know why I stopped trying with this. I was used to jogging the machine by holding down the button so when it kept moving after i stopped holding the button down it freaked me out, lol
my X-axis is now going in the opposite direction to the button i press, is there a way to reverse this in the software or do I now need to look at my drivers wiring?
colin hi I am very much a beginner with cnc machines, it is only one of the cheap Chinese desk top things, I have tried a number of different programs, ugs classic looks promising but, when I sent my instructions to the machine the spindle didn't start, I believe the codes are m3 and m4, but Im not sure how to put the codes into the correct places, can someone give me detailed instruction on how to do this please.
This is a very informative video. My only criticism is that as a newbie to cnc routing the speed you cover the subject is apparent that you think everybody is as knowledgeable as you. Please understand the majority of people that would benefit from your post are like me & taking your explanations & instructions a bit slower would be better. Thank.you.
