    Hello all! I woke up this morning to my cutter doing this.... Mh-871-mk2 It seems stuck but it seems like it wants to go. This unit has barely been used. Any help would be appreciated.

    Did you ground the stand to the bottom of the plotter?  static build up in the roll discharging thru the plotter carriage is known to fry mainboards if you didn't do that as the documentation shows 

     


  2. as mentioned before the titan has a much improved usb chipset over the other plotters below it and the stepper motor on the titan1 is a finer steps per inch than those below it.  the titan also has a higher pressure for cutting thicker materials  - more robust.    while the sc2 would be a big improvement over the old MH the titan would be a leap to right below the quiet servo motor units.

    Hi, everybody ...i havet 1 question, my MH 871 MK2 , make soo much noice, is possible eliminated noice?

    you will want to step up to a servo motor plotter to cut the noise - titan2 is the cheapest one


  4. heck I only cut at 16 with reflective and 12 on regular with cleancut blade that has been used for 6 months.   20 seems high.  like skeeter said it is easy to cut thru the backing and break a tip on the clean cut blades - they use a finer grained (harder) carbide and the trade off for lasting so long is they are more brittle is jammed into a cutting strip on a turn.  if set right I run mine hard for about a year per blade, then that old blade goes into my reflective/metallic blade holder until the next rotation because with those materials you don't do as fine of detail.  skeeter is our graphtec guru and know what she speaks of.

    Thank you Dakotagrafx!  I'll try that.  I noticed the back fuse was not working and ordered a replacement 20A circuit breaker off of Amazon for $8.00.  I'll let you know if replacing the cord or circuit breaker works.

    How old is it and are you the original purchaser?   I had to replace a controller on a Susie once.
