    Did you download the driver, and install for the USB connection? USB on a value cutter is not True USB like higher end cutters. After you download the driver, reboot your computer. It creates a com port number in your computer device manager. The com port numbers have to match in your computer device manager as well as your software. Vinyl cutters are not plug and play. From UScutter.com support In most cases, all needed PC drivers will be preloaded in VinylMaster. If you need to download and install drivers for the USB connection to work properly go to www.uscuttersupport.com and select the driver that supports your Windows version. #12 in user manual. https://www.uscutter.com/static/PDFs/LP3user_manual_FINAL_07_09_2019.pdf

    I realize and agree that the corners are well rounded but I don't think it looks bad. Sort of a true stencil vibe to it. Start with your blade exposed length as the first thing to dial in. Most new users have way way way too much sticking out and can even break a tip off. Once set then you can dial in the pressure and do a blade offset test like the one shown, probably at the same time. Just make a series of about 3 small squares about 1/2" each and cut them and play with the offset until they are crisp. You should cut all the way through the vinyl and leave a scratch on the paper backing that you can't feel from the back side. Do not set your pressure on HTV. In the end your regular sign vinyl pressure will probably be about the same but the adhesive carriers are much harder to tell whether you have too much pressure.

    If the vinyl was put on well, taking it off is not easy and it'd be much faster to just buy a new shirt and try again.

    Agree with what others have said. I have a MH and while I can get it to do what I need usually, it was not an easy process to get there. Coming from a Cricuit you would be highly disappointed in the MH. I believe in order to match the cut quality of the Cricuit on a large plotter you would need something in the Graphtec range. The Cricuits are really quite good at small stuff. You mentioned a 34" cutter. What exactly are you planning on? Often times people think they want the biggest they can get but in the end find out that a 24" would meet 90% of their needs and the rare times they need something bigger the design can usually be broken up to fit a 24" cutter anyway.

    You can look for a used Graphtec cutter also. I picked one up for a very good price a few years ago. You already know what a cutter can and will do.
