Please put in a ticket to Future Corp. (producer of the VM software) This is an issue only they can resolve. (by adding new machine drivers to their program) Honestly, I would venture a guess that the regular MH drivers will work on these updated units. (I've run older MH cutters over the years with RedSail drivers).

Need some help on creating a stencil

You really should make a dial that goes up to 11. This is Spinal Tap-the movie reference -
Need some help on creating a stencil
slice&dice replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
The numbers you typed are Sans-Serif typeface and the ones in your original part (as pictured) are Serif font. Not a critical matter, of course, but just thought I would mention it to a newbie. -
NOTE to CHASE: This is not in reference to the VCP Driver which was offered by me above. That little Virtual Com Port item is a stand-alone bit of code, which provides you with a Device Driver for USB that appears on the drop-down list of connections, and allows communication with the cutter's USB chipset (Serial Emulation).

Try using the Virtual Com Port driver. https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows

P Cut 630 won’t initialize
slice&dice replied to hopkinsrj's topic in Creation PCUT Cutting Plotter Discussion
Install the VCP driver. You will then have that stm32 choice available in the list of connections. Problem solved. https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows -
MH871-MK2 not cutting
slice&dice replied to GeorgeGast's topic in USCutter Refine Cutting Plotter Discussion
See the other thread you started, try what I've suggested and take apart the holder arm, and visually inspect it carefully. -
Not cutting even with new blades.
slice&dice replied to GeorgeGast's topic in MH Series Vinyl Cutters
Hey there. I do seem to recall that the arm holding the blade has a tendency to crack. It's a hairline fracture, barely visible, that is caused by over-tightening the assembly with the knurled nut. Choose (carriage arm) from the dropdown https://uscutter.com/uscutter-mh-vinyl-cutter-replacement-parts/ -
VM Cut not detecting SC-34
slice&dice replied to PawPaw30157's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
There's a chart somewhere with the comparisons of features -- what's included, what's not -- all along the upgrade levels. If you have a Jeep parked there in front of you, take a good straight-on photo (s) and include an easily identifiable and measurable thing in the pic. (when I do a wall install, a brick is that thing) When you import the photo as a .jpg, just insert a rectangle that is the exact size of that thing. When they match in size after zooming/expanding, now you'll have a full-sized image on screen, allowing you to create the workspace(s) required. -
VM Cut not detecting SC-34
slice&dice replied to PawPaw30157's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
I don't know why it works, but it does. Sorry about the broken link, that's what happens with these obscure drivers (the STM32 cvp is used for drone controller installs). What it does is create a Device with a virtual com port. Kinda cool, actually. As for learning how to best utilize the sofware, try the HELP menu, and fool around. Most things the average person will encounter can be handled by the CUT version, including the terrific Vector Engine for converting raster to lines/paths. The CUT library of clip-art graphics is limited, and if you are looking for a wider selection of pre-made designs, let me know, I have a good method (free) for obtaining plenty of them! -
VM Cut not detecting SC-34
slice&dice replied to PawPaw30157's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
I'll give the same advice as recently offered to another person having COM (usb) issues. STM32 vcp https://mydrivers.online/software/stm32-virtual-com-port-driver and https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows -
Hey pazpaz, what happened when you installed the STM32 vcp? It should show there on your drop-down list of connections.
-
Hey pazpaz. Good question. When having any kind of USB port issue, my go-to easy cutter com Driver is a thing called STM32 VCP https://mydrivers.online/software/stm32-virtual-com-port-driver and https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows Let's see how that works out for ya.

For car windows, preferably 751 (cast) which holds up much better over time than the intermediate stuff.

Grommets -- (Banners) -- I'm considering AUTO-LOADER
slice&dice posted a topic in Pre-sale questions
Hello all. I've been using the basic USCUTTER baby-blue BigMouth #6 grommet press for over a decade now. Probably the best $90 I've spent. However, with my banner business increasing, what say you guys regarding investing to buy the AUTO-LOADER press? -
MzSkeeter, that link leads to a download that's a 7z file, requiring a standalone 7ZIP program to open it. Highly unlikely anyone is going to require it anyway, because with purchases of a VEVOR machine, the SignMaster software and drivers is bundled. You know what I'd like to see here on the Forums? A review of the new MH units. I was really going to invest a few hundred bucks to get the 34" MH100 in white, but not available.

Chris, welcome. Not to argue with you at this late date (this is a necrothread from several years ago), but I stated that Flexi doesn't offer the option of selecting Vevor cutter drivers. Your workaround of choosing a different machine ( us cutter laser24) isn't the same as having the proper exact driver for the Vevor. I had a friend who wanted to continue using SignBlazer instead of SignMaster software that came bundled with her new Vevor unit Unfortunately, Vevor is not listed as a supported brand in SB. We tried to utilize several different alternatives (Roland driver, Liyu driver, Creation driver, etc.) but although the cutter would respond and cut, there were issues with the quality of the output. In all cases, the cuts were off by a fraction and left the paths uncompleted. After a series of trials that resulted in weeding nightmares, she went along with the SignMaster program and the cuts were perfect. Congratulations on being able to work without problems with Flexi and Vevor using the Laserpoint driver. That information may indeed be useful to someone who owns a Vevor and prefers Flexi workspace. Just out of curiosity, Chris, what prompted you to come in today and add this post to the Forum? We're kinda bored around here, and having a guy like you who seems to know the ins-and-outs of this business could be a welcome addition to our regular crew here!

Nancy, whazzup! show us a photo of your I/O board. Those parts are fairly standard, and so long as the connector plug is similar, you can get one made for another model, like the SC for example. (MH I/O boards are not available on the parts replacement list). However, before you go that route, I'm curious about how VM shows your cutter connection to the COM (Serial port). You say it's 'recognized' but let's look into that aspect first, and verify the computer is indeed properly set for that communication.

Graphtec CE LITE-50 Cutting Strip question
slice&dice replied to BedlamBarber's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Discussion
By the way, we have previously offered the suggestion of flipping over the worn/scratched strip and using the fresh untouched bottom as the top. (not sure if you can do this, because of the adhesive, but worth a try) -
Graphtec CE LITE-50 Cutting Strip question
slice&dice replied to BedlamBarber's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Discussion
I would venture to say "yes" to using the same cutting strip, those are fairly standard width, machine to machine. As for the other situation with the holder, that's the complete opposite of the strip. Each machine has unique dimensions of the blade holders. And you say that particular holder is even MORE unique in that blades can't be swapped out! -
Nancy, hello. There might be something wrong with the connection port circuit board (I/O) on the cutter. The cost to replace is negligible, and simple to access/swap out.

Edward21 is not diluting the brand nor infringing upon this Collision Center's name. Also, for all we know, it's likely he can easily obtain permission from the company holding the rights to the logo. "Sure, thanks for promoting our shop, hey, can you make a bunch of those for us!!!"

What do you mean by "couldn't find it"? The link was provided above to the exact font you needed. I'll repost that for your convenience -- https://www.whatfontis.com/FF_Concielian-3D-Italic.font I'll assume you are capable of drawing those 3 parallelograms. Do you know how to Kern text (wider spacing between letters)? As a newbie, be aware that this re-creation is as basic as it gets. I'm done here. It's all on you now, Ed.
-
Edward, have you managed to get this sorted out with the correct font as I've indicated?

Putting a decal onto a window of one car is not "trademark infringement" in the legal sense of that. I am not a lawyer, nor do I play a lawyer on TV. Trademark infringement is the unauthorized use of a trademark or service mark on or in connection with goods and/or services in a manner that is likely to cause confusion, deception, or mistake about the source of the goods and/or services. I took a quick look into finding that font, it appears to be https://www.whatfontis.com/FF_Concielian-3D-Italic.font
