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...

Well I wouldn't say nobody-- but not likely anybody we know...

I gather that but I think Gemini casts this sort of thing.

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.

Yep on the power grab, and studs I know that works pretty well. Occasionally they get blown off.

I like this for a higher end look!

For exterior high wind zones?

hmmm- will have to consider this one more...

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.

So it a concrete wall and we have hot and cold weather here in Wisconsin and sometimes extreme wind gusts.

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...

Thank you going to give this a try.

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.

So maybe the solution is to reverse print on clear, then overlay the reverse print with Avery or 3m White 30% or 60% diffuser vinyl? So say you're building a 4'x8' lightbox. If you have a UV flatbed , reverse print on a clear 4x8' polycarb panel, then apply white 30% or 60% diffuser vinyl...
