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).

You really should make a dial that goes up to 11. This is Spinal Tap-the movie reference

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

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

See the other thread you started, try what I've suggested and take apart the holder arm, and visually inspect it carefully.

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/

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.

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!

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?
