  1. So the end cap fell off and ripped the control interface board apart. I'm not sure if I found the right one on AliExpress for 70 bucks and shipping but I'll attach a photo of the part that came off my machine and the new part and then I'm looking for the housing end which I can't find anywhere so far. I haven't looked everywhere yet but I'm in the process.

     

    The photo with the water mark on it is the one that came off aliexpress, the rest I took with my camera.

  2. So the machine came in today, I plugged it in ran a test it cut just fine so I loaded in some media to do a pattern cut and it doesn't cut the whole piece of artwork, it just stops at a certain point. Any idea what might cause this? I tried attaching a pic but of course my phone has to run out of memory. When the head moves back and forth like it's sensing the edges of the paper it seems to see a size that is not there. When I go to jog The carriage it won't allow me to jog it past those points.


  3. I expected it to perform longer than a month. I realize it's not a Graphtec and lacks certain features but I figured it would at least cut basic art without having to constantly fight off issues until they pile up into a mountain of impossible problems. I think the main rail is bent, the work doesn't cut in the center of the machine anymore, I have the machine in a clean room, I'm the only one who has used it and I cant figure why it would skip cutting in the center. Next I think the motherboard has an issue because the machine will bog down in the middle of a job and reset. Then I think the motor may be going out because at random it starts making a horrible sound and loses its place in the cut. Then the belt keeps stretching out of shape or tghe tensioner keeps going out of adjustment, the test cut only works half the time, sometimes it cuts double (that I think is in the software) it's just a mess.

      Did you follow the instructions that we gave you on your first thread in Feb? Make sure you find  the FTDI  driver (online) for your computer operating system, download and  install, and run,  Reboot computer.  Go into your computer device  manager, find the com port number 1-4 nothing higher.  Then choose the same com port number in Signmaster.  The com port numbers must match or the computer will never communicate with the cutter.   USB is not TRUE USB in value cutters, like higher end cutters.  I have not read anything good about Vevor.  You can put Vevor in the search box upper right and choose everything. 

    It had a lot of the same problems as the MH I bought from USCUTTER. I'm done using China junk.


  5. Made in China out of inferior parts with substandard manufacturing and no repair option. The machine I bought has sat in the box longer than it's been destroying my material! It has several issues and that's too many to fart with at once. It's going in the trash because the company won't even recycle the thing. Never again with USCUTTEr.


  6. I have one of those from a pawn shop, looks never used. It appears the USB input may be jacked up since it was all cattywompus in the hole until I disassembled that side, straightened out the jack (by hand, no heat) but still it won't cut or even register in the software. I bought Sign Master from someone off eBay, started a support ticket and received drivers specific to the KI-720. Successfully installed the driver and played with the port settings, still nothing.


  7.  I found a machine at the trusty pawn shop the other day and couldn't resist. It doesn't appear to be used at all, still has the protective films on it. I've tried using it under VEVOR KI-720 in the one software that actually lists that model in the menu but no luck. The USB jack was bent a little but my computer sees a USB device in device manager that corresponds to the machine in question. I've downloaded and installed most of the popular cut programs under demo mode and it appears the softwares are so limited I can't find any cutter models in the setup menus at all except the Sure Cuts A Lot demo that doesn't work. The machine doesn't look antiquated at all but although generic it appears modern. I'm not sure the machine is even a VEVOR brand, there's only the model number on it. I see the same KI-720 model number on Alibaba and a couple of other obscure China websites that provide no apparent support.

    A Graphtec "Cameo" is not a toy. Graphtec makes great quality vinyl cutters. Very accurate.  It's just more on the crafters line of vinyl cutters.(smaller)  A MH vinyl cutter is the least expensive full vinyl cutter out there. It takes force, from the machine, to be able to cut the type of material that you are needing.  As well as a cutter that has great tracking. Full size cutters, have different specs and different features. You get what you pay for in a vinyl cutter.  Many people on this forum own a Graphtec vinyl cutter. Just larger. 

    Also doing searches online came up with several place of free  and or purchase rhinestone patterns. I site gives a free daily pattern. Just sign up. 

    Well I'll be fallin asleep in Galvaston in summer with no DEET on! I had no ideer! D:

     

    I used to have a Graphtec. Cops stole it. I won't go into it here LOL


  9. I also saw the cameo demonstrations and thought 'if a toy can do it surely a real cutter can..'

    I'm an optimist until I ain't D:

    Waiting to hear from someone whose tried. 

    Meanwhile checking sure-cuts-a-lot, thank you Home-Slice!

    After looking at the options and reading up on SCAL I'm wondering if USC will let me trade VMLTR for SCAL. ?


  10. I did a global search on the forum for cutting templates for setting rhinestones. I used a few different search strings but nothing turned up. I own an mh series cutter and I'm wondering if there is software available or some patterns that I can plug into vinylmaster to cut flock for rhinestones. Will this clumsy machine even cut flock for rhinestones?
