Dave, talk to Devo (Beattie) at Hervey Bay... Gail did a great gecko on him a while back-shaded better than Photoshop!

Nice- but that chicken needs a bit more of a shadow underneath it, and a whisker less sunshine on its back. Fun stuff!

Will you be selling them really cheaply?

"Just do it". Select the vectors wanted. Select the create tooolpath>engrave (vee) toolpath option. Select a conic tool & edit the options (depth, speed etc) Click 'follow contour' in the main engrave toolpath window, instead of 3D male or 3D female path. (I'm writing this from memory-EnR is...

I have read them, but clicked 'no' thinking that there may have been a new one-I was mistaken...!

We got stuck with an autorun trojan, or call it a virus if you want to. It came from probably one of the kids at school, and despite AVG, it quickly infected everything. PrevX 3.0 found it, but it was a slow manual job clearing out what suddenly became hundreds of infections...

Fair enough comment. I am the boss though. The bits were all bought in the 1980s, in the days when they were very good quality, and expensive. Nothing was was under $45, 20 years ago. Some were $100 or nore. The box full was about $1600 worth, bought one at a time as the jobs paid for them...

OK, here's a different opinion... I haven't treid to sharpen anu cutters for our cnc router, but I have many times resharpened tungsten-tipped bits for the hand-held router. It's a matter of keeping the fine diamond file dead flat against the face of the tungsten insert. I don't reduce the...

The pen only moves up and down if you either do a self-test, or have it connected to a PC with software & drivers that all work together. There are thousands of words before this post, explaining just about all roads needed to get it going. What pump are you talking about? There is a fan...

Nope- but the modern drivers actually make much of the info in the old manuals superfluous. You should be able to get it going if you have a driver, and you just turn it on & 'play' with it. If it works it should work.

You should be able to get the drivers from Roland's website...somewhere in the legacy area. I haven't looked there for a few years, so I can't provide a link, but they're usually findable. Otherwise try Mr Google.

Just finished a job with two aspects: it was ten sheets of dibond at 1500 x 3050 mm each sheet, profile cut, and also plotted with a plotter-blade to cut the plastic coversheet. One irregularly-shaped sign used four sheets, horizontally, the corners all meeting in the centre like a + sign...

Thanks, Jon!

Oh, please...anyone asking for a manual... maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like to have a REAL name to reply to, not a shop name, so please sign off with your real name. Maybe there are crazies out there, and maybe some people need to hide behind ambiguous forum names for various reasons, but if...

HI Gemco, that's not something covered in the service manual actually. Pressure can be increased by the slider on the right, near where the printer lead plugs in. I usually keep it in the middle of the grid. Alternately, get a new blade, and a new cutting strip. What are you trying to cut...

MODES: With the pnc1000A, if you lift the pinchwheels UP, off the vinyl, then turn the machine on, it'll come up with <command> on the console. Press <enter>. It will display <mode><mode>. Use the sideways arrows to select # 2. Press <enter>, or else <menu>. That's all. Lower the pinchwheels...

Another fix is that on various occasions, like about once every 3 or 4 years, I have to get a new printer lead. The old ones work on other printers, but they cease to work properly with the Camm1. No idea why, but I know getting a new parallel/centronics cable solves it.

Wow, Tom- long post. Please excuse my brevity in replies. 1.the pnc1000A driver works, the 1000 driver doesn't - you're right. 2. Too slow for what or who? Yes, I'd like a faster one, but it still works. I can still only weed so fast. Just schedule your time to work with it. Given a choice...

...I didn't notice it being said... but if I see an ad with hazy lumpy grey textures in the background, I'm inclined to think that's what the window tinting is going to look like- not clean & clear at all... ...just a subconscious observation from a latecomer to this thread...

The blade offset can be probably changed in the 'printer driver'. The offset is how much the tip trails behind the centre of the knife, so that it 'follows' where it is driven. For normal vinyl cutting, about 0.25 mm is OK. Yours might be set to 1mm or so, causing those overcuts. You might...
