Did you have the Onyx license for your cutter? Seems we may need to add that.

Sorry that I'm just seeing this post. We usually cut print side up. This material was 6mm thick, so one pass. Curious about what type of lubricant you use on the bit. I'd say our bits are clean when swapped in. I need to experiment with using a knife first to score the latex ink, followed up by...

Thanks for gifting this to the community FireSprint.com

Were you ever able to locate the part number?

Glad this question came up. Always learning!

Hi Sam, we just finished a batch of French cleats using our table saw and it wasn't very messy. I'll check to see what type of blade our Facilities Manager used. Like you, I would definitely prefer to use our Colex rather than rely on him making time to assist my wide format guy with this type...

Did you ask Colex their recommendation?

Then you'd be an independent contractor again, lol! I understand what you're saying though.

A) Training, training, and having good role models. B) Lean Manufacturing. 5S will bring organization to the shop and sustain it. Kanban will help you not overspend on supplies/tools. Check out a membership at Gemba Academy for training on Lean. Well worth the subscription...

Love these guys!

Have a link to share on which cam you bought?

From OptiSCout this morning: "Dear Lee, thanks for your request, unfortunately there is no time estimation / calculation for this machine. The only thing we can offer is alog showing the job times after running the job, but I know that this is not what you are looking for." BOO.

I guess I see what a frustrating topic this is for me. I forgot that I created this similar thread, when I posted a new topic about it yesterday. I feel bad when I am the holdup on the estimator getting pricing because we don't have a great method for estimating flatbed cutting.. So I will...

Now I see how frustrating a topic this is for me. I forgot that I started a similar thread just last month. I feel bad that I am at times the hold up for our estimator getting pricing because we don't have a good system for estimating flatbed cutting. We can't dry run every potential scenario...

I have done that in the past but it’s not a reliable system because I have to interrupt any work that’s already going on on the machine. Also in most cases I don’t have the die line already for the cut file already but I may know the size.

As a hobby I 3D print, and some slicer software estimates are within a couple minutes and others are off by more than an hour with their time estimates. With our flatbed cutter/router, I have been guesstimating, and sometimes it's reasonable, while sometimes a certain step takes longer than we...

Our estimator regularly asks me for time estimates on CNC / flatbed cutter work. I have a speeds and feeds chart from Colex. This isn't very helpful to consider time to move from piece to piece in the layout, slowing down for rounded edges, etc. As an example: "Name Card 4.25” x 6” Quantity...

Big shoutout and kudos to Boudica for running our image through Gigapixel to yield a file that wasn't enormous, yet had the output quality that wowed our client. Members helping members!

It went up today and everyone was pleased! Just under 20’ wide by 10’ tall and Gigapixel made it look amazing, starting from a 4mb file. Thanks for the input everyone!

The client wanted to choose from their own collection of images. Gigapixel was the solution for our problem. The image is printed at 240”x120” and trimmed out to 5 panels. The client will be pleased at the results.
