the good ole 3 rings of death.. been there done that.. after my last one died i got tired of this.. i had my 360 since i won it from Mt.Dew before they were released!!! it died!!!! ??? so this new one i got.. i did some research online so i took apart and soldered a fan header on the motherboard (there is a spot for it but microsoft didnt use it.. i just desoldered one from an old motherboard) so the cooling fans would run at 12v instead of variable voltage depending on heat.. in the stock form, they don't come on full speed (12v) until its really too late.. while i had it open i went ahead and put some artic silver on the heatsinks.. and knock on wood.. been staying nice and cool. that is a nice sticker.. im a long time video gamer.. ever since my brothers got pong in the late 70s.. ever since then.. i have bought every system to date.. im a collector.. i still have them all.. thats where my username comes from.. gm2k8 = GameMaster and then of course 2k8=2008..

does lowes or home depot have coroplast? i remember some guys i knew were buying it to build r/c planes with.. well now i have moved and lost contact with that r/c club..
-
just looking for ideas.. i saw the nice looking home made app tape holders.. so i was wondering what do you use for trimming the vinyl?
-
if you do a search on google you will find a few clipart images of cotton candy cones.. you can use inkscape to convert to eps paths
-

well i finally won a laserpoint off ebay.. so i need to order some vinyl and then get ready to practice practice practice and i was hoping someone out there might have some designs that have a barnyard type theme.. the reason being is we are expecting our first baby boy here in late august and in fact i just put the crib together today.. our house looks like a barn and all the designs for the baby crib bumpers.. blankets.. mobile with barnyard scenes with animals.. cows.. pigs.. chickens.. horses.. so if you have anything that would looks great in a nursery.. let me know.. i was thinking of doing a barn.. with some animals.. sun.. etc..
thanks in advance..

thanks.. i will bookmark those pages and read them thoroughly.. i cannot wait.. we have a baby coming and i want to make some barn type scenes with the cutter to decorate the wall.. just put the crib together today..
-
well finally ordered a laserpoint.. i was looking on ebay for vinyl to practice with and saw a lot of vinyl with the description "CALENDERED WHITE" what does that mean?
also.. are there any recommended ebay sellers that you guys use?
I dont want a big supply just yet.. i want to learn before I really order a bunch of colors.. i was thinking stick with white so i can play around with some logos for my car windows to advertise my business.. any help greatly appreciated..
already sent in orders for free samples at a few sites..
-
thanks guys.. i am leaning over to the laserpoint more and more.. i almost won one last night.. argh.. heh.. still trying to save some $ and win one on ebay
-
i dont have a cutter yet but im going to get one.. how do you make sure your vinyl roll is cut at 90 degree angle so you know it will be straight?
-
does anyone have a laserpoint and some scraps and can cut that eps out? just would like to add that to the mix..
-
thanks.. i really want the laserpoint i think.. but u would never believe the problems i have been having with my ISP.. i think my modem either died here at the house or something.. but of course i was winning an auction that ended in the evening day before yesterday.. and i came home to check and possibly bid up.. and my internet was down and again last night.. so i have to use internet at work to bid.. hopefully i can win one soon.. i have so many ideas i want to try just for my own business advertising alone..
thanks for the pics.. i appreciate it..
