More several months, I've performed precision cutting. I've been very happy with the results, as I'm cutting along contour lines of printed topographic maps.
But now I cannot get my contour drawings to cut correctly. I'm getting misalignments with all my drawings, old and new.
Indeed, I can't even get a rectangle to to cut properly, as when I line up one side of a finished cut on a grid, none of the other three sides are properly parallel or perpendicular to it. I get the same bad result whether I use "cut" or "print and cut". Very wonky!
I have tried several experiments and all I can figure out is either:
1) Something has gone haywire with the SCAL5 software, or
2) Data is not properly being transferred from the pc to the Silver Bullet Cutter (18" pro series), or
3) Something is wrong with the mechanics of the cutter, and/or
4) The mats have lost their dimensional stability (don't think this is the problem, though)
5) Something is wrong with the firmware of the cutter.
Any ideas?
