    Thanks Rich to bad for your nightmares with the company.

    I wouldn`t go out and buy one at that price $1800.00 for a toy I don`t think so.

    Had a guy make me a $500.00 offer today I just might sell it to him.

    Coaster I`m building a 4 X 8 and my friend is building a 4 X 4.

    Have a set of plans to go by but everything will be beefed up for more stability.

    All motors will be at leased double the size.

    Were in the middle of puting a parts list and cost sheet together.

    It`s going to be fun.

    What plans are you using if you dont mind me asking? 

    Have you been on CNCzone? So far its the best CNC forum Ive found.


  2. Awesome! Im in the planning stages of my own CNC build. Im not going to build a big one. Maybe 2x2, It will mainly be used to build the larger one once I get out of the military, moving a large CNC every 4 years doesnt sound like a good idea.

     

    Keep us updated on the build!

    Are you building from scratch or from plans or a kit?

    Well one thing that I can say is that the Oracal 15" punched vinyl has very small circular holes and are spaced very close together,  so I would think they would be too small, besides film reel has square holes, not round holes.I think you would want to cut larger size SQUARE holes in the vinyl with the appropriate spacing to give it the right look...

    I plan you use the punched vinyl just for the feed holes that are on a film real. Im going to lay the black down and then go back over with each individual "frame" and lay the white on top of the black to give the look of film. 


  4. My church would like me to lay some vinyl  in a movie room. The plan is to make the vinyl look like a movie film that runs all the way around the room. So it will include some pretty long runs, the longest is about 24'.

    My plan is to use 15" punched black vinyl and lay it around the room and then go back over with the individual "frames" and stick them to the black and be done. The "frames"  are just going to be squares with rounded corners. There is no rush to the job so if it takes 3 days then whatever. 

    With that idea would you guys use application tape for the black or just center hinge it and then try not to stretch it. Or break it up into smaller sections and overlap the seams?

     

    What kind of ways would you guys tackle this type of job? Im ordering the vinyl soon so tell me what you guys think.

     


  5. The only things Id suggest is to change your registration marks. Put them at the top of your image. The extra vinyl you lose is better then messing up the whole layer and re-cutting. Then just take your time lining up. A light table really helps or a big window you can work on during a sunny day. You can place parchment paper in between the layers while layering to help alignment. Another thing to do is flip the new layer over and remove the backing then lower it down just below the registration marks then you can see clearly where they are, once they are lined up and stuck to the layer underneath then you can remove the backing from the rest.

     

    Im not sure that was clear but I found that way on youtube and its been helpful.


  6. Found hpgl-rel in the VM vinyl spooler settings like the screen shot on the first page of this thread. 

     

    Seems to advance after the cut now. I just have to make sure I can contour cut with it in this language. 

     

    This forum is great!

  7. Why is he weird again?

     

    this 

    The picture looks like Ronnie Radke...lead singer for Falling In Reverse and previously sang for Escape The Fate. Not really a good role model for a 14 y/o being his history of drugs/rehab/and prison. Sorry for the useless Metal knowlege...It's one of my many traits >:D  

     

    ...oh and he also hates his mom. Makes that apparent in most of his music. 

     

    and the face/neck tattoos dont help. Or the nasty hair cut. Probably wears skinny jeans as well. 


  8. I don't see why you're having trouble ...a simple quick trace

    in CorelDraw X4 made the attached eps file.

     

    A little node editing and it will be good to go.

    She probably wasn't having trouble, just not trying to learn.
