Do you have a video or manual showing how to replace the heads? I know that if head one is okay, its simpler to do this because the heads will auto-align on head 1 I'm told. It's an allen wrench 2mm I think, and one screw you are not to remove or losen, then a cable to pull and the you can...
We removed our Mach3 controller and replaced it with the NK105 Hand Held Terminal.
Now it's off a bit on some cutting work. Does anyone know how to adjust X&Y using the Pulse Eq feature to calculate how to set the right parameters for each when you off x# of millimeters etc.
Thanks
We have a 5x10 cnc router . It was on a Mach 3 controller. I let some folks talk me into a handheld controller-- and now the x y & likely Z need to be adjusted via the NK15 G2 (Which is a china unit). There is a setting called P Equivalency that you adjust for x y z -- and I can't seem to find a...
Well we discovered with our UV printer we can run the panel through 2 or more times and get much better results. Also for vinyl, you can put down 60% diffuser product on the face of the acrylic and then apply your vinyl and it greatly improves the true colors shining through with less wash out...
We have a cnc but I've never routed a 2" sheet and I'm sure that would be incredibly expensive. So is this a job for Gemini, or what would you do to make the 2" depth aluminum letters? 1/4" ones I think we do in ACM and paint.
Thanks for your ideas
Our best result now is diffuser vinyl on the face of the acrylic, and then to overlay our print to that. Gets a pretty good results-- may be able to work with inks to make it even better.
Thank you we just did something else here that may be a workable solution. We put 60% diffuser on the acrylic face. We then put our print over that. This seems to help a lot, and if we play with ink saturations we should have a good working solution to improve this dramatically.
Acrylic is too fragile in our cold weather and high winds. Nothing silly about anything here. I'm looking for other ideas to mount exterior panel signs as opposed to studding them, and siliconing them in.
hmmm but aren't they mostly for interior signs? I know I can do it with 1/4 studs about 1.5" length, and drill pattern... But was looking for an alternative to that.
We are going to flush mount a 6mm cnc cutout of a 4'x4' crossroads configuration for a client. It has reflective vinyl on it and we don't want to drill holes into the face. What is the best way to mount this outside securely so that it doesn't blow off the building. What hardware would you...
So would reverse print translucent, white diffuser 30-60% , and printed translucent do the trick? Would you do that on white acrylic letters, or clear acrylic for best result?
But Navy Blue should not wash out to white light. Which is what I got from a bunch of letters from my channel letter vendor. Just awful... I also want to make sure my lightboxes we make don't wash out to an unreasonabale level.
