Two attempts, two different miscuts
JohnnyPhive replied to JohnnyPhive's topic in Sure Cuts A Lot Pro
I will definitely give it a try. Perhaps one day I'll get into this enough to want to purchase a better program in general. Again, thank you for the help and advice. -

Wildgoose, it worked perfectly. No deviations in orientation or extra lines anywhere. Seriously, thank you. -

Thank you Wildgoose. I will give this a try as soon as I get the chance, hopefully tonight after work. -

Thank you, both. Glad to here it may only be the software. I will see if I can find the download and give it a try. -
Thank you.

I am using the 14" MH series to cut stencils no bigger than 8" by 8" out of vinyl. My SCALP version is 3.052. I used the trace function to create a cutable file from a .jpg. The first file I cut turned out perfect. It was not very complicated and only a few small shapes. The second file I tried was more intricate, but in the same size range. Approx 6" x 6". . The first attempt with the second image resulted in an orientation shift of a small portion of the image. One foot was rotated 90 degrees on the axis and was cut along the left side wing area. Small small straight lines were also left, almost as though it was attempting to finish the cut prior to the orientation change. The second attempt had the same issue, only with a different small portion of the image. If I remember correctly, one the wing sections was shifted 90 degrees on the axis and a long cut was made to get the cutter to that point. On both there were cuts, not in the file, across the image. It appears the cutter was not lifted between movements. The image below is the base image to the file I created in SCALP, for reference to the above descriptions. I can post the SCAL file if it would help. My questions are: Is there a way to stop this from happening? Is the file too intricate for this cutter? Is this a cutter problem, rather than software? My assumption was maybe the program is sending incorrect information or is set incorrectly.

This is my first plotter ever. I purchased the MH 14", since the largest I will be cutting is in the range of 7" x 7". I am using this to cut vinyl stencils for dyeing disc golf discs. All personal use and I have no intention of starting a business. One has already been completed, after opening the box 2 - 3 hours ago. Thought I would say hi, especially considering I know I will be asking questions at some point.
