  1. High Resolution side shots of trucks

    Mfg. website 3D viewer and/or 3D model websites have some clean images.
  2. Next CNC Router... suggestions please.

    my multicam 3000's have been running beautifully for 20years. only had a tech onsite twice, which could have been avoided if I had gotten up to speed with my DIY ability to diagnose/repair, but that was nearly 10years ago. I have now replaced a few stepper controllers and a set of four bearing...
  3. Need Help Old Bank back lit sign to be replaced with new liquor store info

    with that gradient in the artwork it would be easier to use a printer, but black vinyl will do just fine if you can simply convert the gradient into a halftone pattern or omit it altogether.
  4. Additional U-channel Support

    have they considered simply stringing a cable and hanging the parking signs? ...or maybe mounting to the wall of the building?
  5. Flat toolbox and trailer prints

    we use vehicle wrap vinyl for most things we intend to last a long time. I'd rather put a few more bucks into materials and give the client a longer-lasting product while saving on labor over "making it work" with economy vinyl. ....but dealer's choice really, flat is flat and if it works it works.
  6. Need help building a wireway!

    its just a pair of metal pans made with 1" aluminum extruded angle. screw one to the building, and the face-pan that houses all the wiring caps onto it and fastens at the sides.
  7. bidirectional detail calibration setup overlapping lines are not within -20 +20 more like they could be +30

    curious. what's your nozzle test print look like?
  8. bidirectional detail calibration setup overlapping lines are not within -20 +20 more like they could be +30

    first line looks like +15 to me, you're no2 line might be "off the chart" but not really... just cap it at 20, or try a little higher if you really want but I don't think it would be anywhere near 30. no4 +15 no3 +9. no2 +20-24 no1 +16 this forum saved my ass back in my mimaki jv3 days, but...
  9. bidirectional detail calibration setup overlapping lines are not within -20 +20 more like they could be +30

    if i remember correctly, that is a value that you input into the alignment procedure ...not +/- the existing value.
  10. Reflective Paint for Wood Signs

    your options are extremely limited here to google, and just take what's available to you. however reflective paint is disappointing and lends itself to a blotchy appearance and weak reflectability. you can't just overlay reflective yellow onto the flat surface of the lettering? ...or does the...
  11. Recommendations for cleaning acrylic?

    i clean in two steps using rapidtac to "degrease""degunk" and then 60% isopropyl alcohol to make it pristine. then again, i don't flame polish, and I cnc-cut all my own acrylics, so all this crazing paranoia is unwarranted for 99.999% of my acrylic experience.
  12. Seeking recommendations for extra-long straight standoffs or extra deep edge-grip standoffs

    for me its gyford standoffs > mbs-standoffs > displays2go in terms of preference/quality/price. you can get dirt-cheap if you're clever with amazon searches, but I can confirm that cheapcheap options turn out to be hollow-crap with a nice finish. whichever way you go about it, i'd recommend...
  13. Black color not drying on HP 365 Latex

    sounds like a linearization/saturation issue. usually remedied by setting up a proper profile or modifying an existing one.
  14. Spraypaint Outgassing - THE MOST EXPENSIVE LICENSE PLATE EVER!!!

    our only 1star review on google was a BBQtruck, demanding we letter his food truck the day after he had hand-painted it. Explained how the graphics might not last, but there was an event the next morning and we HAD TO RUSH IT! Sure enough, we demanded money up front & got it done and they were...
  15. HELP!! Trying to identify problem with Gerber Router Electrical Cabinet.

    i once had this happen on my multicam CNC router. turned out that after a keypad drop, the board inside the controller had unseated one of its connections, and we were able to remedy simply by taking it apart and re-assembling.
  16. Second surface printing scratches

    i've never trusted bare ink on a decal/panel. lucky the orange vinyl helps, i've used colored sharpies in the past to touch-up and then dabbed on liquid lam to seal.
  17. wrap print around pan face for colored background

    niiice-lookin' returns! i always wet-apply trans vinyl, & would have put blocks of 2x4's under the face so that it doesn't flex a ton while I'm working out the bubbles. just stab the bubbles at a 45degree angle and keep moving forward.
  18. Question about Clear Vinyl

    when we use white polycarb, we print on clear and apply to the face, and then apply a reverse-printed clear on the backside for color saturation while illuminated. some people will oversaturate their print to save this extra step, and simply apply one print to the face, but it looks DARK during...
  19. wall wrap material

    my favorite removeable is PhotoTex Opaque. i've even removed it and reinstalled on a new wall.
  20. Guidance on material thickness

    every material and every brand has a different thickness. you can purchase a caliper off of Amazon for under $10 or simply testcut your material prior to running a full sheet.
