Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look at Sawmill Creek. I'll try today reseating the RAM and swapping cables out, if they're long enough. It has to be a motherboard/stepper/feedback issue. It's not the stepper motor itself - I checked with a spare one.

I'm a bit of a 'fix it yourself' person wherever possible. Burning out servos and drives diagnosing the problems and getting them going again with our cnc router has been an interesting adventure- and no problems in the last 18 months, touch wood! That was all a servo control system. However...

It all depends on your software. Enroute allows you to specify two or three different cutters for the one job eg island-fill or hatch-fill If you specified 1/8" and a 1/2" endmill, it'll hog out everything it can with the 1/2" endmill, and only create toolpaths for the 1/8" endmill in the...

Hi, what's actually the matter? Really the manuals are nice to have, but the modern printer driver from Roland renders most of the info in the manuals obsolete. The service one is more about circuit diagrams - there's not much to service otherwise that doesn't fall under "cleanliness &...

Replied OK. Good luck!

We can convert 2D vectors to 3D reliefs, but I'd also be happy with $2500 for the job... Be aware, that a 3D file can take AGES to rout, while a 2D or 2.5D file is relatively quick in comparison. You could also do a bit of fabrication- a 2.5D vee grooved file of 3/8" thick HDU, glued over a...

singmaker (I hope you can spell! ;) ) and lmsd , as mentioned before, please send me a PM. Also, sign your PM with your real name please. I don't like replying to messages from people without a real name, when they're wanting something from me!

Hi Southernsign co, sorry I didn;t realise you'd posted here... the only quick fix I can think of, is the 'rotate X/rotate Y' option in the setup. If your plotter is stopping after a cut of approx equal to the width, you may need to check or uncheck the rotate X/Y option to the opposite of...

This reminds me of the first real estate corro printing job we ever did. A 3 colour job - 100 of. Huge learning curve, ZERO profit, Huge headache, sore back, sore arms, sore eyes, and then the waste, and the wasted time, and the touchups... ugh it was horrible. The next two corro printing jobs...

We still mostly use a very old Epson 3000, though these days you seldom see them for sale. The black ink is a pigment. You can do halftones in Photoshop. the film we use was simply called a Dutch film positive film - sort-of milky clear and vaguely blueish but good. We also do smaller A4...

I'm thinking the same-that the circlip was for transport protection of some kind. We have a blade like that, made for thick sandblast mask.

Reminds me of the big Nokia hands logo that Henry Barker did a few years ago, which was amongst the things that inspired me to consider getting a cnc router... :)

The file you attached is a simple low-res jpg. No layers, no vectors, and there are more parts on one side than the other. It seems to me, no offense, that if you can't do this job, then there will be many more problems heading your way, soon, and you might be better off getting out of the...

Me ? I'm going out: work to do, and a 'real' plotter to use to help do it! ;) (P.S. Good luck & have a great weekend!)

You could try UK signboards-apparently some there like the P-cuts...

You're in Cairns, are you...with two boat anchors soon to be released upon Fleabay? :) Actually, the pnc1000A was built to last. Slow, steady, noisy but reliable!

:) Sorry, but I could steer you through setting up a PNC1000 or pnc 1410 - both Rolands...

I'd recommend buying a Stanley Knife or an Exacto, and some tracing paper & a good ruler. That might be quicker!

No ideas...anyone?

Tebond... how about some proper sentences with full stops or periods after them, please? You're asking for technical advice, yet you're explaining yourself in one long ramble. I don't know where to start, so I won't bother, but I'll go back to the earlier reply I gave you which is still good...
