Having trouble with contour cut since reinstalling signcut

Having trouble with contour cut since reinstalling signcut

Postby lindalou » November 24th, 2012, 11:25 am

I had to reinstall signcut. I can't do my contour cut.
It is reading the first three registration marks and then travelling off the page and pushing the cutting sheet off.

I think something may have changed somewhere and can't figure it out.

The X - 16.00 and Y-26.00 are the calibration numbers I got when I calibrated my machine in the beginning.

I'm uploading the file, and some screenshots of windows hoping someone might see something and be able to help.

I am getting very frustrated. :banghead: :banghead:

Hmmm -my x setting is -17.30.

And on the cutter settings, mine advance after cut and rewind settings are at zero.

I remember mine doing that once and cannot remember why. Will try your file in a bit and see what happens.

I've now had my cutter window change.
I've lost my output device port - it is showing my printer and other programs now. :whip: :whip:

I just seem to be making things worse!!!!!!!

You had it set at com port 3 as I recall - just change it back. But check in device manager and be sure that port is working and it the right one. I am trying to cut it now (but having to remind myself how to do a print and cut in SignCut as I have been using SCAL!! :banghead: :banghead: Retraining my brain!

I am wondering if you saved the wrong part, the image file, because when I open it in signcut I have the red X through the whole design and as I recall that is the image file. That may be why it's not cutting?? Again - cannot remember if my other files looked that way - will work on this first and then try another one!!

Well my sign cut won't contour cut or cut period - it just shuts down, and I reinstalled it so I am no help in trying it.


BUT - I did open another PNC file that I had and exported it to SignCut and there is no red x through it - so I think that may be your problem - you are exporting the wrong part of the file. Give that a try once you get your settings worked out. And I am sure if I am offbase someone will come along and straighten me out!

I think I now have all my setting correct but I think I need to just recalibrate for contour cut.

Can you direct me to a tutorial on that. The one I'm finding is for SCAL and I'm using Inkscape and Signcut.

I have a pdf on how to do calibration. It's a little over a mb or I would post it here. I thought it was on the BC Learning Center, but I couldn't find it. Am happy to send you the pdf if you want that - it is pretty clear. Do you also need the calibration sheet? Just want to be sure I send all that you need. LMK.

Am decorating off and on but will watch for a response and get it off to you. Oh never mind - will just send it all now and you should be good to go. Holler if you have questions.

Thanks Gigi,
I'm trying to use that to recalibrate. Hopefully I'll get there.
