That's the thing with most products these days.. Easy enough to repair IF you know what you need to replace.

Just make sure it adheres well, as any shrinkage during curing will try and peel it off

Easiest way to visualise the process is to imagine etching it with a pin. Every line it moves down has to be smaller than the diameter of the pin in order to get a flat surface.. Usually isn't so you get raised parts where the engraved lines don't meet, so by doing two passes you then break...

Another option is to simply print elevations on plywood and manually cut them out.. Its all down to what they want

Tbh.. If they say money is no object, then unless they are a multi multi millionaire - I'd take it with a pinch of salt. Yes..it can be done relatively cheaply - but.. It depends on IF they have a suitable 3d model. 3d printing would cost a fortune and take a very long time. If you sliced the...

Sometimes weird things happen when you work on the limits. Always try to set a smaller work area than the physical work area

Lol.. Not so sure about YouTube.. You can easily loose days there.. So many interesting things.

Nice to have you around.. I'm from the UK, but have worked in many industries, so can help with most subjects.. Lol

Where did you get the nano code? Sounds an interesting little project..

Perhaps in the future.. Don't allow people to damage your machines. They don't need to have sharp knives anywhere near rollers.. If they mess up and get laminate wrapped around the rollers, then perhaps they shouldn't be using them. Remember.. Your machines pay their salaries.. And yours...

Depends really on how much you're charging.. Vinyl is cheapest and easiest, but paint will last the longest but will take the longest to apply. Look at your margins and what the customer wants.. Afterall. You are providing a service to the customer.. Go with what they want. If the quote is too...

Best way to stop updates is to change Internet connection settings to “Metered Connection” - that way you still have Internet connection, but it doesn't attempt to update.. But.. In reality, production machines shouldnt be Internet connected as they're your money maker.. Any issues costs you...

Always remember that boats are often waxed or have release coats - this doesn't play well with any adhesive product.

The easiest solution is to tell it you're on a restricted data account.. That way it never attempts to download updates. Tbh, it's not necessarily good practice to have production computers connected to the Internet, no Internet.. No problems like viruses, updates, etc.. Just share the...

Capable of. Get some scrap - start slow and play is the best way, then speed up with production.

Probably the best program for you would be Millmage or carbide create. Millmage is basically lightburn for Cnc machines - so if you already use lightburn, it's an easy step. Carbide create is similar. As for speeds and feeds, there are various calculators on the net - they'll give you a...

I remember the company.. Great idea, but ultimately obviously not making enough money from it - should be possible to recreate, just need to split colour away from z height and put head on z rail. It's all down to how much money you will (not could) make v cost of making such a machine.. I think...

I'd use a fiber laser if he's producing name plates - you need something indelible for those. Plus they're quick and easy to use for many types of etching, cutting, etc.. I use one all the time - The Chinese software isn't the best, but it works.. I use lightburn which is much better.. If you...

Lol.. This is getting silly now.. Try breathing 100% nitrogen or Argon and see how well that goes for you.. Equally 100% oxygen.. "Air" has oxygen in it.. Hence things burn.. No oxygen.. No burn.. Ask any welder what happens if they don't use a shielding gas (flux shields the weld from...

Yes.. Polycarbonate will emit yellow smoke and fumes when cut using air assist. Nitrogen is not air.. Also ANY plastics being cut requires fume extraction. Do you cut aluminium with aluminum nitride coated tools? NO - because it galls - They are great for cutting steel, but not aluminium.. Its...
