illixirstudios 0 Posted November 24, 2012 I have used this cutter for almost a year with no issues until the other day. I am using sign cut, USB, and have tried this same file on several different machines. When I cut a design with some tiles disabled, the cutter starts to do its thing and then randomly starts cutting odd shapes several inches from where it should be. I would think this is some kind of memory issue, but it cuts the same odd shapes in the same wrong spot each time. Please help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted November 24, 2012 Can you post the file? I would like to try cutting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted November 24, 2012 When I look at this in Outine mode, this is what it looks like? http://screencast.com/t/plwihXxSxalN Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illixirstudios 0 Posted November 24, 2012 Well, my cutter is a 30" so I have to cut the whole thing out in strips. I am currently working on cutting just the bottom part where it says "Mexican Imports" in grey. The cutter cuts "M ex i n Im" and part of the grey chunk its in, then it feeds out 20 inches of vinyl and cuts long lines through the fresh vinyl and shapes that look like funky letters. Its almost as if its turning the design 90 degrees when it gets half way done. That is a little strange. At the moment, I just have the grey layer selected. I will get rid of the tic marks and see if that fixes it. EDIT: I tried it without the yellow tic marks, still a no go. I have also tried with a keyspan adapter, and it produces the same result.

Jay2703 704 Posted November 24, 2012 You should also weld the Sweetwater text together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illixirstudios 0 Posted November 24, 2012 You should also weld the Sweetwater text together. I must have missed that. It let me cut out all of the letter shadows last night using the same file, I don't understand why it would mess up on a different part of the same file.

Jay2703 704 Posted November 24, 2012 You have a Green color in your design that looks like it's adding all of the cuts. Delete the green and I think you will fix your issues. Watch this video http://screencast.com/t/6K0KZlkRjox Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illixirstudios 0 Posted November 24, 2012 I am using Sign Cut so my wire frame looks very different. I tried Sign Blazer, but I couldn't seem to get my cutter to jive with it. I have attached a screen shot of my wire frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted November 24, 2012 I cut it using a pen and paper and I saw some places where the letters slice in. This is usually due to duplicate or extra nodes. This is a picture of tow of the places where I saw this. http://screencast.com/t/puHPaHue3 I used Node Edit in SignBlazer and saw that there were duplicate nodes: http://screencast.com/t/izhxrRg2ZgB1 When I deleted them, it seemed to cut fine.

illixirstudios 0 Posted November 24, 2012 I tried it, still a no go. I tried running a different file through it, and now its giving me the same problem no matter what I try to cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illixirstudios 0 Posted November 24, 2012 Ok, so here is what it's supposed to look like. I cut this out last night. And here is what I get. I used a sharpie and the back side of the backing paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

illixirstudios 0 Posted November 25, 2012 The file I posted cut fine. Is your machine grounded? Yes sir it is. I have the paint scraped off of the stand where the wire connects, scraped off of the cutter where the wire connects, and scraped off of the cutter where the ground lug comes in from the power connector. I used a multimeter and it shows continuity from a lug on the stand all the way to the ground pin on the power connector. Have you tried it with a serial cable or keyspan adapter? You may need to.. I have tried it with both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piscespokerbrat 80 Posted November 25, 2012 Yes I have. I have also tried the same file (and several other files) on three other computers at my shop with the same result.
