LEC300A not cutting

[Gamer]

I have an issue with my printer where it won't cut with the plotter blade, it dosent matter if I use a force setting of 80 or 250gm it just leaves a very fine cut on the surface of the material.

Has anyone here had something similar as I'm told it could be the Solenoid or the Servo board needing replacement. Can the servo boards be repaired?

Cheers.

If it is leaving some cut then the servo board should be ok. It is most like the solenoid in the cut carriage. These aren't available separately though so you would need to look at getting a used cut carriage to replace it

AFAIK the carriages are not available new anymore, so ebay is probably your best bet

I have been quoted from Roland $455+gst for the solenoid and $2.2k+gst for the Servo board.

To me it sounds more like the servo board as I'm into electronics and can't see how a faulty solenoid can cause this, a solenoid either works when voltage is applied or it doesn't. The servo board would either send a low voltage for 30gm of force and a higher voltage for 250gm of force.

Problem solved, it was the Cut carriage cable, crazy as I had it replaced 4 months ago.
