Tam 0 Posted September 25, 2018 I ran a test cut and it shredded the vinyl, the arm did go up and down now it doesn't.. I have been sitting on the phone for an hour and a half ... then it disconnected...I don't know where to post .. so here it is ... any ideas? what are the settings supposed to be for an mh series cutter?

darcshadow 1,625 Posted September 25, 2018 Skeeter, I think you missed the part in his post where he said the arm doesn't go up and down any more. So most likely the Z chip has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Other possible failure would be a wire to the solenoid has become disconnected. I believe they are soldered in place so they shouldn't come loose but a wire could break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the blade was set right, the vinyl would not be "shredded" either. I guess it depends on what they mean by shredded. Aren't test cuts small square/triangle on MH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted September 26, 2018 True, shredded could indicate multiple problems, or an exaggeration of the problem. The on-board test cut on mine does a star and a square, but yeah, it's a small cut, maybe half inch square, shouldn't be shredding anything no matter how bad the cutter is setup. Tam, your test cut, was is the on-board test, or a simple file you created and sent to the cutter? Start with the on-board test cut. If that works then we likely have a software issue. If it does not work then a hardware issue, likely the Z-chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
