whitecastle 1 Posted March 19, 2010 I recall a while back some discussions around upgrading the memory - I recently had my cutter stop mid cut on a large, complex job. Can I upgrade the memory? What do I need & where can I get it? thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 19, 2010 uscutter used to have them on its website for the mh1351 but they are not on there now- I would pm one of the USC people like Howard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninja 16 Posted March 26, 2010 Granted I'm still the new guy, but I haven't heard of any MH machine that we currently carry that has memory upgrade capabilities. I'm more incline to think its a setting within the software you're using or perhaps a driver issue. How large was the job in terms of file size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 26, 2010 The 1351's definitely used to have a memory upgrade option and could be ordered as spare parts and installed. I personally had one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamudslinger88 0 Posted March 26, 2010 I had my MH721 stop a few days ago almost at the end of the cut. It was a large cut but I dont know the size of the file or anything. Anything to keep this from happening again would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 26, 2010 if using USB get away from it. get an adapter and go serial, even if you don't have a serial port on your computer, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812999081&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-12-999-081-_-Product also make sure it is not static causeing the problem, ground your stand to your cutter, if it is on a stand.

thredz 1 Posted March 26, 2010 there was a 4 meg memory upgrade a few years ago. I was going to order memory for my 721. But then I got the copam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlzimmerman 11 Posted March 26, 2010 Yeah....if I were troubleshooting I would look at USB and static first. They can cause stopping. It takes a really big cut file to be over 2 meg....dasalottanodes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 27, 2010 usb can drop connection alot more, cutters vibrate, loose connectors etc. A serial connection is actually screwed to the connection. More solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeygirl 30 Posted March 29, 2010 If you're going to keep using USB, it's worth it to install a dedicated PCI card for it, so it doesn't share power with any other devices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
