Can you not create a box out of coroplast and packing tape to pretty much any size you want?

Post a picture, if it's just the acrylic you need you can make a new one easily, or jam something in the sensor and run without it

Have you already made the signs for him? If not I would explain that you are not set up to print these efficiently where you can sell them for $5 each, thank him for thinking of you, give him examples of products you can be competitive with and move on. If you have printed them, did he not ask...

Our next door neighbour is a high end bicycle mechanic and shop, every week I get at least 1 person come in, look around, and ask if this is the bike store, people on a whole aren't very clever.

My local Benjamin Moore store offers custom paint matches in rattle cans, they can do both latex or oil based paints, it's around $20/can if I remember correctly, I've used it a few times and it works well. Alternitivly, for some interior jobs, I've used printed vinyl on the face of the...

Sounds somewhat familiar... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/us/politics/trump-donations.html J/k I'm sure it's an honest mistake, if the owner of the site doesn't get back to you I would contact your credit card and tell them to decline all future charges from them.

I think general formulations makes a product called Busmark for doing wraps on city buses, it's made to go on easily and come.off very easily

I have a s80600 but I'm not sure what I'm looking at here.

When you onload media they get loud, but they should turn off when the printer goes to sleep after 30-60 minutes. I never manually turn mine off, it looks after itself pretty well

Do you have a makerspace near you? A lot of them have large format printers you can use. Large format printers are meant to be used on a regular basis, leave them for too long and you will have issues..

I was told that there is a run on retractable banner media, out of stock at my usual suppliers. I was told it's not expected back in stock till the fall, with trade shows back in full swing now all the companies are looking to refresh their 2.5 year old tradeshow displays!

A word of warning if you are considering the photopolymer process, one off signs are extremely expensive, so while the initial order of 200 signs might be reasonable, when the client inevitably orders 3 signs they forgot, don't be surprised when they are 10 times the cost, we do raster braille...

Sounds like Dave is lucky to have you as a friend.

There is a huge community of "makers" now who all tinker with various tools like small CNC routers, lasers, vinyl cutters etc. for fun and as a side gig for extra $$ See if there are any makerspaces in your area. We hired a younger guy who was really into 3D printing to run our laser...

we run full roles on a regular basis, we then cut on our summa flatbed, however I make sure each "section" is no longer than 20', but with the barcodes it just keeps going.

Don't over think it, a desktop with a minimum i7 processor and 16gb of ram and a.ssd will be more than enough for your needs unless you are ripping hundreds of files a day.

It's a fine balance, I've had clients insist on having 1" thick letters 5" tall and it makes them impossible to read from any angle except straight on. And others that go so thin they may as well just do cut vinyl.

Our 2 year old F1612 is all of a sudden having issues, I'm hoping someone else has come across this and knows what might fix this. We are cutting a bunch of elevator door graphics on our 1612, basically a bunch of 24"x84" rectangles, Client supplied the artwork and I had Onyx put the CutContour...

Is the sign made from 2 separate pieces of HDU glued together or a single piece routed on both sides. If it is double sided I would get an aluminum tube frame welded up and you can hog out an area on the back side of the panels to accept the frame before you glue the 2 panels together. If it's...

Do demo's at local dealers with your files and material, that's the best way to know for sure. The ideal machine would be a flatbed cutter like the summa f1612, although it is an expensive solution, it will handle it no problem.
