KDM_Freak 23 Posted April 5, 2014 Had time today to set the stand up and get the plotter on it ... Grounded it with the wire that comes on the titan .. NOW the hard part ( i put the ink pen in for testing reasons i guess & did not put any blades which in cause i have no idea what color or degree blades to use ) .. But thats not even the hard part Im going to download sure cuts a lot while i wait for people to help, but when I'm done downloading what the heck do i do it came with no directions the ones on the website don't tell me anything to do at all and I'm already frustrated due to the fact that the stand they have posted is not the stand I just built .. someone please help ! ( here are some pics for idea reasons ) I refuse to plug in cause I'm nervous i took off a tie wrap on the blade holder i believe ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipperi 45 Posted April 5, 2014 Your SCAL3Pro disk should have been packaged with the cutter, you activation code is affixed to the cd pouch. It is fairly straight forward setting it up. For most things a 45deg blade will work fine the 60deg is for very small cuts and thicker material, some people use 60s all the time it will work just fine. I feel your pain with the stand, USCutter stands are a notorious PIA to assemble because the instructions are in "Chinglish" take it easy and breathe most everyone in here will help you!

pshawny 410 Posted April 5, 2014 I refuse to plug in cause I'm nervous i took off a tie wrap on the blade holder i believe The zip-tie was most likely just to hold the cutting head in place during shipping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mel16 20 Posted April 5, 2014 I just got my Titan 2 and I'm kinda in the same boat. Lots to figure out, really lacking instructions. However I've used SCAL2 before and SCALP loaded just fine for me. So now I'm trying to figure out all the settings on the Titan. I swear it took me forever to move the pinch rollers as I didn't want to snap anything.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 6, 2014 I think you might be the first one with a mac to install one - I installed the titan2 on a pc with no problems after downloading the drivers and scalp.. I think john did the same thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel16 20 Posted April 6, 2014 The cutter I used in SCALP was; SAC720II I got that info from my box and packing list. ....Any chance that's what you're looking for KDM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted April 6, 2014 Yes I did and I also downloaded the stand instructions and user manual both of which were very helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted April 6, 2014 You're getting wound up and probably need to breathe deep 10 times. LOL relax....I know you got a new toy and it's like Christmas when dad bought a foosball table that wasn't assembled. You happened to pick the newest model that just came out so unfortunately you may be a guinea pig to some extent. If you have not found a driver for it yet you might try a generic driver to at least get it moving. There should be some basic drivers that will be named generic HPGL and may even be several generic options. Most all the plotters use the same essential language with minor tweaks for individual machines. I'm not savvy enough to have a clue other than just the basic concept. If you made it through the instructions on assembling the stand (Chipperi called it chinglish I call it Engrish) then you are half way through the tough stuff ha ha. Like Dakota said you are probably the very first to hook up to a mac. Look at the bright side, you will soon be the resident expert on mac to Titan drivers on the forum! I'm flipping you some crap but I feel your pain. It would come on a weekend when you probably can't get any tech help either, other than us yahoo's who really don't know what the heck to tell you. Sorry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted April 6, 2014 SCALP is both PC and Mac. You have to install the right one. IN the mac version if Titan isn't listed...the SAGA drivers will work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted April 6, 2014 i downloaded it again and still nothing about drivers .. I am not sure I understand what you are saying. When you open SCALP and set up the cutter just chose your model. SAGA should be on the list the model numbers are the same as the Titan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
