until you get a cnc (you can pick up an older/stout used shopbot for about $4000) you will be stuck with the basic fabricator's kit. (small very new looking one http://www.spreadmyad.com/philadelphia/merchandise/tools/37342917-shopbot-prs-honeybrook-pa-x0024-4500#.U5oORCiLJtw) straight lines...

these are attached to black sintra. the low voc has got some weird stuff. some have anti-microbial or anti-dust coatings built into them which oddly means that the surface electrons are designed to "throw off" molecules due to some kind of electron reaction to oxygen or something. the term...

i used about a 1/2" high blop of sika-bond on each corner and then a small "x" in the middle. sika-bond cures in about 3 hours. the alternative adhesive just never cured, so i pulled them up and added lexel silicone. works well but it's much slower than sika-bond. we then headed to the dock...

i have a set of panels that were installed at the Sierra Providence Hospital in El Paso a few weeks ago. my shop is located in the houston area (11 hour drive). two different adhesives were used on this project. 8 panels got sika-bond. never had an issue with this adhesive. two panels...

there is a clear vhb that is extremely thin that can be used for this application. i believe it is attached to a polyester carrier. very high quality stuff. the inside of the roll say: Technical Laminations and Coatings, Harwood Heights IL 60656

what's shown in the photo is a neilson/bainbridge aluminum molding decked with an image...

that's the classic negative pressure readout found on most every chinese printer with secondary tanks. your printer is gravity feed where by comparison this device is for a printer that purposefully loads the lines with too much positive/gravity then with a tiny amount of adjustable vacuum...

there is no such thing as a "mimaki" head. i once took apart a three head unit for an epson 10000 (has three dx4's). under the epson head rank sticker was a roland head rank, then under that was a mimaki head rank sticker. i've heard there's even a "head rank convertor program" that can...

you've got something on the encoder strip and the IR sensor is missing steps and having to step out further and further to make up for the missed steps. when you restart a print it zeros and will start the process again. get a white piece of paper (business card), a magnifying glass and a...

had a jv3 for years used the rasterlink pro. it is a dream to work with but didn't know it at the time. it has more color features than you will ever need and tones of canned profiles and everything is accessible in tabs . then moved to onyx production house and now down to onyx 7. both onyx...

the latex ink is eco in that the solvent doesn't stink. it's NMP, the same stuff for cleaning a spray foam gun, and is also used to strip powder coat.

seems printers are being batted around. all good machines. what volume, and price per square foot do you expect? there are flatbed print suppliers that have great hp fb's printing at $1.50psf (print cost only). do some serious number crunching before you get a machine that can't keep up with...

50% DOWN, NET 30days on the balance. that is all i've ever done. my clients wouldn't even call me if i was asking COD. after all they are paying me with the check they get from their client. it gets odd when you've seemed busy (successful) lately and your kid asks "dad, when are we EVER...

i used a jv3 with raised heads and a home built feed table system. my printer was not at all designed to ever do this so i had to invent a few things. one thing that i always did with my printer is raise the back of the rear feed table about 1/4" or more and lower the front of the outfeed...

that drives me nuts. i think it's from the firmware being originally written for a belt feed printer and you would feed the print head first into the stops. well the person then gets on the other side of the printer and the thing comes out head first (aka up side down). a person operating a...

the electronics aren't protected on an epson head. ultrasonic cleaners create a lot of solvent mist and that mist will build on the pcb board. after cleaning the head should be dunked in iso and "slung" dry and allowed to sit for 24 hours. this will help pull the glycols (retarders) out of...

i've noticed that my senior clients (wealthy consultants that get easily frustrated and are gifted with only blaming others) don't do well with email. the "thread" conversation with each person chiming in on cc's and such just doesn't work for them. i will finally get on the phone and say the...

i'm assuming that the printer/air pump is left on overnight. if the air pump is fluctuating here and there, the air pump is going out. i replaced the one on our fk with an original part $110. company is in the US. don't remember the specifics but you can read the info right on the pump...

does it seem to drop in the same spot? or same set of spots? get to the controller and have the carriage go slowly across the gantry. see if you see any fluctuations in the negative pressure. have a piece of scrap on the table and make a mark if and where it does. if going back and forth...

i'm leaning toward the bear in the window one. use film on the window. but also build a box like in the shape of the bear that sits just inside of the window. it would be a great sample and at night it could light up the window version of the bear. ...would be really eye catching form the road.
