I've had my Silver Bullet cutter set to the exact same settings for the past year or so without any issues. The force and speed has been the same, the blade in the housing hasn't been changed, raised or repositioned at all. I've been doing successful print + cuts with this configuration through cardstock without any issues.
Until today, all of a sudden, the blade began dragging between the shapes, scratching the material and ruining most of the art I'm cutting around. I cut one sheet successfully today without problems, but with the next one I loaded this problem began.
What's worse is that after I took the blade out to examine it, clean out the holder, and put it back in, I can't seem to get it to cut properly anymore. Either the blade is too high and doesn't cut through the material, or the blade is low enough to cut through but drags across the media, ruining the artwork I'm cutting around.
The blade itself seems to be sharp and intact.
Again, this problem began out of the blue today without me having changed anything, not even the type of material I'm cutting.
Anyone have any insights?
