SCAL 5 cutting different than 4
twentythreemx replied to twentythreemx's topic in Sure Cuts A Lot Pro
i've given up and uninstalled it, wasting too much time on something not that important, version 5 doesnt offer much over 4..6 doesnt seem to eitehr. ill wait until they release something significant and get the next one! unless someone has a suggestion on something better for design & cut. i've been happy with SCAL for a long time but definitely open to something better if its out there, i've never really had a reason to look. -

ok we're onto something with offset, but cant fix it... SCAL keeps defaulting offsert to 1mm for pen. Even if I adjust it.. it still cuts it at 1. So I changed it to the PEN preset which is 0 offset, and it cut pretty good (little rounded, so not enough offset) SO that's the problem, but why SCAL is stuck on 1mm and won't change...idk. might have to chalk it up to a bug in the software and reinstall or something. -

interesting, i didnt think to play with that because i just mirrored the scal 4 settings that have worked for a long time. ill make some adjustments to that and see what happens -

here's what that cut is supposed to look like, it's throwing it off a bit besides the corners... -

my registration verification email won't seem to come through from the craft edge forum, go figure... anyways here's a photo. it does measure correctly with the exception of the weird points its making... if those weren't there it measures correct this is what its doing to my cuts, adding those weird lines.. you can see in the text below it too (its reversed) but you can see the points on the I for example, should just be italicized and a rectangular "dot" on it... -

ill post pic shortly.. however, it's same machine, same PC, and it's cutting fine in SCAL 4. It's only an issue in SCAL version 5 though. cuts in 4 are 100% fine. -

i've messed w/ baud rate, offset, selecting the port manually vs auto select, deleting and readding the cutter.. literally anything i can find. its an SC2, SCAL4 only has SC and it works fine, I've tried SC and SC2 in SCAL5 and no difference. -
I have version 5 and version 4 and 5 is adding weird points to some things and just altering the cuts a bit... I've compared settings in each and can't find anything mismatched. Any suggestions on why this may be? Have used 4 for years now and have not had issues and trying 5 and it just won't cut right.

twentythreemx replied to twentythreemx's topic in SC Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
appreciate the advice, but the blade height is set correctly. this is my 2nd uscutter machine and been doing it a few years now.. plenty experienced with it, but haven't had this issue yet! -
SC carriage slamming down harder than normal?
twentythreemx posted a topic in SC Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
My SC 2 is cutting OK, but recently started making a loud tapping noise when cutting.. its the carrier tapping down hard on the vinyl. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything but I'm concerned as to why it's doing it and when it might do to the life of my cutter. It just recently started after a blade change I noticed it (im guessing the blade change is coincidence though?).. again its cutting fine..blade depth does not seem to be an issue. Anyone experience this and have any input? Can try to upload a video if I need to. I assume it's been posted before but I've not thought of a better way to describe it or better search terms to look for, so I've not had any luck finding other posts about a similar issue. Thank you
