  1. usually I outsource CNC work, but considering buying a 40" x 40" are they easy to learn?

    I think that getting an inexpensive unit would be a great learning experience. It should give you some insight on which capabilities you should focus on when you buy a commercial unit. IMHO, the most important part of CNC work is having a good solid hold down. And if done properly, you really...
  2. Roland VG-640 dampers not filling with ink

    I don't know if this applies to the VG-640. But, this has been my experience with a XC-540. I ordered dampers for my XC-540 from digiprint and they sent the one on the right of the image below. It has only one "spring bar" These failed to pump up properly or stay primed. and i began losing...
  3. Roland XR640

    Inspect the Plastic Bulkhead on top of the print head. The nozzles that connect to the dampers are prone to cracking. A small crack in one can be hard to see but quite problematic.
  4. Gerber Sabre 408 Control Panel

    This is Gerber. I wish they used generic control. But, they don't. I would have to replace ALL control hardware to be able to use those type parts. Im right there with you, though. I wish it was that easy. -Jay
  5. Gerber Sabre 408 Control Panel

    Hey All, So, I don't see our Gerber router being replaced any time soon. But, the buttons on the control panel have been pushed many times and they are giving up. Has anyone made one of these? Gerber wants like $1200 for the insert. Yes, the insert alone is that much. I thought they had...

  9. Tape or Glue for installing plaques

    +1 for Both Tape and Silicone. Tape to hold it while the silicone is drying. Silicone to hold long term. I never use just VHB for outdoor adhesion.

  11. A Good Overseas CNC Router Table

    This has been covered Soooo many times. You can find lots of info on here and also just googling it. The basic Idea is that Chinese machines are not all bad.

  12. Suggestions Replacing captops idea!

    I know I will get flamed for this. But, I lost one of my springs and replaced it with one out of a ball point pen. It has been there working and sealing for 3 years now. That said. I DO NOT recommend this. Chances are it will not work as well as mine did.

  16. Review ISO advice on DX4 printhead suppliers

    Supposedly, when exported or imported ( I don't remember which ) They have to strip the ranking off the head. So If you want a "ranked" Head, then you will have to buy from US Suppliers. And they will be $700+. *EDIT: Looks like they are cheaper now. You can get one from Digiprint for $500...
