I heard something go bump in the night, walked downstairs this morning and found this. Merry Christmas to me!!

You had me at Titties....

I tried cropping the image and re uploading so I could do an image search without the cars and even on just the church part and got nada - - I figured it was somewhere in new york or rhode island being a new yorker and newport pictured and the smooth hills - not jagged like the rockies -that is why I threw out the catskils

as @Primal Decals was saying.... he had to raise his tool holder on his titan 2 to keep something similar as your issues from happening with some glitter vinyl he was just cutting. we had been discussing something similar to this for my cutter because I bought a couple cheap tool holders off of ebay that the knurl lock ring hits my carriage and doesn't tighten up correctly on the tool holder. the dry run with out the tool holder will tell more. and @Primal Decals, I believe your slipping. even old blind woody could tell that was a titan... lol

Here's an 'accessory' gift -- Christmas Dings

Newport, Rhode Island? (car is named Newport, is it possible that's also the location?)

Wow, Merry Christmas indeed! I will have to get a tree up if it works like that Cal

Here's a couple better images. I don't know if it's the southwest. It has a chimney, and I think the house in the background does too. Plus the hills in the background are pretty green. If someone could figure out who the guy is in the stained glass, maybe the church is named after him.

Thanks Primal. Centurytel internet and it's been a mess for over a week now. Today I'm getting partially loaded pages, if they load at all. Took ten minutes just to load half that page, so I couldn't see any of that information. Uggggg. . . .done venting for now. I return you to your regularly scheduled forum.

hey I threw a dart at the map best info I can glean is commercial doors on the part of the building on the left - right resembles a church - looks like 2 couples with a baby and a preacher. I cut the image and reloaded it so I could image search the different distinct parts without the cars and still nothing - this is a tough one

@mchldelf i use a titan 2 . If your blade holder ( Purple casing ) is using to much down pressure grams from the cutter it can cause it to grab( hold) and cause a ( i call it a pivot point ) like what it did in your video causing it to hold on one side and push the other side. What pressure are you at as well. I know each cutter will be at different grams but i am curious ... If needed i can talk to you on the phone as well. I will send my number to you Do use Mz Skeeters suggestion for setting blade depth for a starting point . I did the same thing but made an extra adjustment beyond that.

Use ms skeeters instructions for blade depth, but do it with the htv. You will feel the difference.

So, your saying to bring the blade out a bit more and drop the pressure?

I would start with a new sharp blade - and make sure it is with the proper exposure - looks like it is dragging from too much blade and pressure

Wildgoose, I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Here's a diagram. In order to get the red square to appear square on the cylinder, it will need to be stretched to the size of the blue rectangle. Go-C, after doing the math, 10% is pretty close to what the math comes back with. It'll vary some depending on size of cup/cylinder and size of image but 10% is a good ballpark. After some more thinking I think I decided I want to shrink the height rather than change to width so here is my new equation. H = h/w*D*sin(w/D) h - height of image w - width of image D - diameter of cup H - new height for image

I have attached some charts I found off of an eBay seller for guidance. My package came to just under $19 shipped to Canada (lousy $0.74 cents/USD exchange rate). I chose 5630 Cool White LED lights. The Warm White didn't seem bright enough to me. I chose non-waterproof LEDs because my cutter darn well better not get wet or else I have bigger problems I figure. The one thing I'm curious about is that since 5 m = 16 feet so I will have plenty of lights left over. Can I solder in a second power adapter receiver wire on the off-cut LEDs to be able to use them on my second vinyl cutter? I'd obviously have to purchase a separate remote and power adapter for it too but once the lights are trimmed off with scissors, are they totally useless or can they be salvaged? Update: I have now seen that you can indeed get additional power receiver adapters (non-solder snap-in ones are also available) to attach to the cut-off lights. There is really all kinds of adapters and parts available for these things. Just have to figure out how it all works once I get the package in a month. There is also a switch available that looks like this. I chose a remote control though which I'll adhesive velcro to the cutter and the back of the remote.

Great ebay seller--- here is where i bought mine from......you want the 5630 model with white square leds.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-Bright-12V-5M-16-4ft-3528-5050-5630-RGB-SMD-300-LED-Flexible-Strip-light-/351661348190?var=&hash=item51e0a6555e:m:mb40dA5s4msDfjjIn5opmfw and here is the power supply... http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-5-Amp-12V-5A-DC-AC-Adapter-Charger-Power-Supply-Cord-LCD-Monitor-New-/272244662292?hash=item3f630be014:g:GoYAAOSw9VZXOZlM
