@dc42 This looks excellent, i have only just started with duet3d and so far I'm impressed.

I've created a discussion thread for the DWC preview in the CNC forum.

I got my mill up and running on my Duet3 with the Workbee version of DWC.
What is the best post processing option from Fusion360 to use with Duet?
-
@Shanian79 i would use the workbee post processor.
haven't seen any others about.
Theres a modified version about as well that allows the spindle to be controlled through gcode

@Shanian79 did you have to do much to get it working?
-
@R4ffers No not really. 10x simpler than setting up a printer. Just setting up the config and wiring up the steppers is all it really took. I set it up with sensor-less homing, which I haven’t done before. That took me a little over an hour to get figured out dialed in. Overall it’s really simple for a 3 axis.
The workbee DWC is very simple and straight forward.

@Shanian79 excellent well done. I've just finished building a CNC router using ooznest ox plates. I'm currently using grbl on a protoneer pi hat but have finally made the plunge and bought the duet 3 m6hc. I have made a test bed and installed endstops and steppers with a dual y axis, got things to finally start and stop last night. Been a big learning curve.

I'm glad you find Duets meet your needs!
There is a preview of the CNC version of DWC at https://github.com/Duet3D/DWC-CNC/releases.

Sounds like progress towards CNC use!
Can it work on duet2 wifi?
Can it work without needing the fake printer things, like extruders?
Thanks!
-
@tenaja yes, it works on the duet 2.
Just make sure you use M453 to set the machine in CNC mode -

thats just a RRF thing, not DWC, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M453_Select_CNC_Device_Mode
