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.

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.

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)

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

Generally, it's not a good idea to vectorize texts. This logo uses a specific font for "Heritage" -- if you can find out what it is, then just use the proper text. The three slanted rectangles are easy enough to create. "Collision Center" is standard sans-serif with a wide-spaced kern.

Was there an earthquake in your area? That may have caused things to shift and shake.

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).

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.

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.

"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)

I suggest downloading and installing a VCP (virtual com port) and use it for the USB connect. https://mydrivers.online/software/stm32-virtual-com-port-driver

MICROGRAMMA ?

OK, so the word 'moribund' may be too feeble of a description for what this Forum has become. Perhaps 'cadaver' would be better? Anyway, I'll keep on plugging away, between the spammer onslaughts and lack of interest generally. As we approach the fly-by-night event of Dec 24th and the subsequent Christmas Day, (with the coinciding Hanukkah festival) here's a bunch of graphics for FREE, courtesy of Font Dings! https://www.fontspace.com/category/christmas,dingbats

OK, I know this Forum has gone moribund, but I thought it might be fun to start a thread for members to voice their opinions on what would constitute the Best Deal at USCUTTER for gifting during the Holidays. So many great items exist, from stocking-stuffers to big boxes of fun! This is the one I want Santa to bring me --- at a ridiculous price point of $340. (actually the machine itself is really just $199 if you take into account that the software bundles is valued at $60 and the included stand/media basket combo is worth probably $80 by itself). https://uscutter.com/refurbished-34-mh100-vinyl-cutter-with-stand-and-software
