My cut lines shifted anybody know why ?
slice&dice replied to salvador's topic in General discussion
Was there an earthquake in your area? That may have caused things to shift and shake. - Last week

It's Monday, perhaps reach out to USCUTTER for tech support and see what they say? (if you want to pursue this thread in real time, please register instead of posting as Guest). Regarding #3 -- Every job since then just hangs on "Sending to USB cutter" and either does nothing or stops half way. Is the cutter head moving along while this data transfer is occurring? (is the cut progressing, or is the cutter sitting idle as the data transfers, and THEN starts to cut when that's finished?) I own an SC2 machine that has this glitch, the data (cut path) has to process entirely first, before the unit actually begins to run a cut. That's not how it's supposed to work, but I've gotten used to just accepting this minor delay instead of buying another cutter (I am seriously considering getting their new upgraded MH100 34" model in white, but that's not currently available).

You just needed to reset zero x,y coordinate to tell the cutter where was considered the work. If you moved it back and forth and ended up off from the original zero then it will need reset. I don't own a Titan but it may be available on the machine or in the software or both. The connectivity issues are quirks of the new set-up. I know my own cutter has to be connected to the same usb port on my computer or it will cause all sorts of discontent. I am not all that helpful with that kind of thing, sorry.

Let me start by saying, i've upgraded machines slowly and surely throughout the years (Cricut > Cameo > SOLO > ) now that my hobby has turned into a full fledged business, i needed something much wider, so i purchased the 53" TITAN 3, and this has not been user friendly at all. I'm running into multiple issues: 1. The VERY first time i clicked "cut now" in the software, it cut the file (as it should) but every cut since then just sits in my job queue and then i have to go to the machine and hit a physical button on there to cut. No big deal, but weird. 2. I attempted to cut a new job starting 2 inches above a perforated square, but when i hit cut, the machine rolled the vinyl up an inch and tried cutting some of my artwork in the perforated square. Every other cutter/software i've used will absolutely not go under where you tell it to cut, only above. (See picture 1 and 2) 3. Every job since then just hangs on "Sending to USB cutter" and either does nothing or stops half way (See picture 3 and 4) I'm not sure what to do and i'm starting to get buyers remorse.

Help needed - Cutter can't read marks correctly
Wildgoose replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
No idea here. You're out of my area of experience. That left roller is still inside the printed marks from what it looks like. -
Help needed - Cutter can't read marks correctly
Guest replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
Thank you so much @Wildgoose for your insight. Yes I do have all 4 rollers sitting within the substrate. The roller shown in the picture is the leftmost one. I have cut thousands using Flexi and never had such issue. With VM, some designs are cutting fine, like one thirds of my designs came out ok. The VM support saw my VM cut files (.pdf and .plt) and couldn't find anything wrong. They asked for Flexi cut files hoping to compare the difference. However they require the .pdf with marks printed, which Flexi doesn't generate. So now i don't know what to do. -

Help needed - Cutter can't read marks correctly
Wildgoose replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
I'm going to take a guess and say that the cutter probably won't read outside the pinch roller or you have another roller farther over that isn't on any vinyl and the cutter thinks the vinyl is wider than it is. Most cutters us a magnet in the pinch roller assembly to tell the cutter where the edge of the work is. This picture looks like a Summa which if true is what I use and a great machine. You will need to move the work over so that it fits within the rollers with some room to spare. I don't print so I have but rarely used the optics on mine but I know there has to be a little clear space between the outside roller and the head. In other words like maybe a half in or more inside the rollers. Mine is a 30" unit and I only run 2 pinch rollers, if your has a third in the middle then it is looking for the other roller perhaps. <I just re-read the original post and see that you do in fact have a Summa> That machine will give you many years of incredible service. The 140 width will def have at least 3 pinch rollers and you will need to make sure your work is within the outermost set. -
Help needed - Cutter can't read marks correctly
Guest posted a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
Hi, Need help to figure this out. VM's support doesn't seem capable. I am having issue with VM to cut my designs. My initial experience is great. I set up the cutter and successfully printed (using saved pdf and my other RIP software) and cut the calibration test (for the ARMS practice cut). And I also successfully printed and cut a couple of decal designs without any issue. At this point I was thrilled and thought I have this thing figured out.However from this point on, things stopped working and nothing is working now. I followed the same work flow on my 3rd design. When it was cutting, the cutter read the right side of the marks correctly. Then it went across to the left side and read the first mark. Up to this point, everything seemed fine. However the cutter didn't go down the line to read, instead it went further to the left trying to read beyond the vinyl. I attached a picture showing the cutter position. I tried a few more times and all the same. Then I created 4th and 5th designs and the exact same issue happened no matter how I try.Then I tried the practice cut again it still worked. I tried cutting my earlier good design from the spooler history it also still worked. However I couldn't cut new designs and really need some help to figure this out.All my designs have similar size, which is 20"wide x 40"long and I am cutting on 24" wide vinyl.I am using the cutter that came with HP 315 print and cut solution and set the cutter as Summa D140. (can't find HP Latex 54 cutter from the cutter list and my research tells me Summa D140 is what it is) The other software I use for print and cut is flexi and it's been working perfectly. Thanks for you attention and any help is highly appreciated! -
Cannot get cutter to respond
slice&dice replied to iceemudd2's topic in SC Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
Vevor is sold with a proprietary version of SignMaster, and from my experience with that model machine, it's not gonna work right with even SignBlazer or anything else. Over the years, I've had good success with the VCP (it's actually designed for Drones, but works fine to create a "port" for USB that allows cutter communication). It's one of the best workarounds I've come across. -
Does anyone have any knowledge or resources on how to do this? So I have a print that is usually one color with white text. Now my laser pointer 3 cutter sometimes does not cut perfectly for big laminated cuts. It will leave some white behind. How would I go about printing the whole print the one color of the wrap and then doing a contour cut so if my cutter does not cut correctly on large prints it will still be the same color as the print and not white?

I think most cutters have some sort of disc with a driver set or at least a link to download them. -
Easy Weed cuts through letter forms
slice&dice replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
Like Skeetz, I have always just used an xacto for placing weed lines between lines of text. My cutting jobs are normally in the 8-foot lengths for making banners & coroplast full 4x8 sheets, and I don't want to run lines 8' long through the machine, it's a sure-fire recipe for tracking to go awry. (SC2 unit). By the way, I always run full-blast top-speed @ 800mm. -
Easy Weed cuts through letter forms
MZ SKEETER replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
The only thing I use weed lines for is small text. I usually cut large designs, so I use an exacto knife and make cuts as I am weeding my design. If you have a low budget cutter, the tracking on your cutter may not track good. My cutter tracks great, Graphtec. It also depends on how fast you are cutting. You sure would not want to be cutting fast. I always cut slow anyway, as I am reading and answering questions on here. Always have enough vinyl pulled to do the entire order. never be pulling vinyl from the roll while cutting. -
You are missing something. TBO many people just draw some cut lines at appropriate places and skip the easy weed feature. Sometimes I even just hand cut between text lines depending on the complexity of the job. I always did it that way when I had my first cutter because the cutter accuracy was low and it would nick into letters and places accidentally from off tracking. I recommend signing up for the forum and you won't have to wait for every post to be approved by admin. It's free and we don't spam you.

Does the easy weed feature always cut through the adjacent letter forms, or am I missing something. New to this software, not that impressed so far.

Craft Robo Pro - How do I align the optical sensor?
MZ SKEETER replied to izlude's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
This is the Graphtec CE5000 'SERVICE MANUAL". NOT User manual. Possibly you can find a fix in there under the correct category. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2175068/Graphtec-Ce5000-Series.html- 1 reply

Craft Robo Pro - How do I align the optical sensor?
izlude posted a topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
Hi all. Owner of a CE5000-40 CRP, used it for years, but over time, the cuts have been shifting to the left, forcing me to shift my cut paths in program about 0.015px to the right to get the cuts centered (or close to it), but over time, it kept shifting more and more and had to go from 0.015px to about 0.017. Eventually found out the screw that holds the reg mark sensor came loose and had slowly been shifting to the right. I tried pushing it slightly left and then tightening the screw, it's a lot better, but with a slight shift to the right now (and a slight slant). There is a notch and a divot, tried aligning to that, but it's worse if I do that, so all I could do was try to "ever so slightly push it to the left" with my finger and tighten the screw. Slant still exists, but ever so minor now, but still have that unwanted shift to the right or right (depending on how firmly I push the sensor while tightening the screw). I'm either pushing too hard or not hard enough, but can never get it centered or unslanted. The second screw can fix slant, but I'd rather not touch that one just yet until I can figure out how to perfectly center this thing >.< Tried emailing graphtec, they never answered. They probably wouldn't service it anyway since I bought this back around 2010. I see these sensors for sale, so people are obviously buying them and properly aligning them. I wonder how they do it? :( Here's an image of what I'm dealing with. 1- screw I'm messing around with 2- divot that I tried to align to, but looked worse when I did 3- second screw that might help me fix slant later on, not sure how I could align that one either. https://imgur.com/a/RWNQ1Wd -

"Vevor" generally works properly with SignMaster software. Try utilizing a Virtual Com Port (stm32) in order to get it recognized. https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows (This "Tracy" comes along with minimal information and into a thread from a decade ago, so let's assume this is just another newbie who pops in, then disappears) -

Exporting a photo from Signblazer TRIAL
raleighron replied to dkhochhalter's topic in General discussion
I know this is an older post but I have had this issue also. I found that when exporting a box pops up with DPI and PIXELS. If you turn down the DPI it will export correctly. Mine will only export larger photos below 20 dpi. As you can see in the above videos other posted theirs are turned way down too. if you try it and it doesn't export just keep truning it down until it works. -

How to check and set communication settings for USB com ports
gcextreme replied to Bruce SignBlazer Support's topic in SignBlazer
I am moving from my old Windows XP Laptop to a new Windows 11 laptop. I got SIgnblazer installed, but its not listing the USB ports in the drop down list like it does on my WinXP laptop. The Graphtec controller communicates with the Graphtec CE5000-60 cutter and does the test cut, but i cant get Signblazer to communicate with it. Any help would be great. -
any luck with this? i installed Signblazer onto my new Win11 laptop and my USB ports arent showing up in the drop down list like they do on my WinXP laptop
