Wim 4 Posted May 5, 2014 Ladies and Gents, Just showing up to your community. I'll have a lot of questions initially I'm sure (SCAL 3 Pro and MH 871-MK2) but hopefully I'll be able to contribute back before terribly long. I've got a zillion hobbies to include a Mazda 6 car club as well as woodworking and computer stuff. (stuff is a long list, so we'll call it stuff) I've always wanted a vinyl cutter and will be doing a number of projects to include the basic car stickers as well as trying my hand at some glass acid etching and sandblasting. I've made a few logos in Illustrator and successfully imported them into SCAL and cut them on the MH series. I attached some of the basic ones I did (including a valuable lesson about where the cutter thinks the edge is compared to where I do). I keep running into cutting errors with some of the designs I've done. I can't tell if it's because the vinyl is slipping or if the cutter can't handle the data stream. I look forward to meeting and learning from you all. Here we go! ~Wim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 6, 2014 This is a good group of folks for sure. Everyone pretty much all get along well ere and the moderators do an good job of riding herd and reigning us in if we start getting out of hand. I am a member of several forums (of varying topics) and this one stands in it's own category for friendly, helpful advice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
