All fixed, sent the board to Shop Bot, they repaired it in one day.
Thanks
Thanks Bob,
Do you know how to reprogram the A channel as the X2?
Also where did you get the parts, I need a chip and the socket it goes in, and I am sure I will need a few of the diodes.
...
Looking to buy a PRT control board, blew mine up.
Need the original board not the 4G.
Thanks

Michael,
If you have a PRT controller, try running it on a XP computer with the latest software from the shop bot site. I run my PR 48 X 96 this way without any issues.

The US cutter units will do the job, but if you are in a location where noise is an issue it may not be the best choice. The US cutters are load compared to the better plotters that are available....
Andrew,
We have been through this too many time our self. We currently have a Husky who is showing signs that it may happen again in the near future. My wife shared this photo on her face book...
in your area I would see if I could contact Gary Beckwith. I am not sure if Gary still has a ShopBot, but he is VERY knowledgeable with the ShopBots and CNC in general.

Joe,
What part of Illinois? I finally have the shop bot set back up after the move from Oklahoma.

Randy,

Find a local sign shop that has canvas to run through their digital printer. It will look like a portrait on canvas.
The sign shop will remove the part of the vinyl that gets etched, and then cover it with what looks like masking tape. You remove the paper backing, apply the vinyl and the tape to the glass, rub it...
Most of the hobby shops, (hobby lobby, etc) have small bottles of etching gel. you can mask with the regular vinyl that your local sign shop uses. Have them cut your mask in the cheapest vinyl they...
That image is 47 by 40 from the web site. I don't believe it will be difficult to get a good image to cut from it.
Jump in and try, you may be very happy with your own results.

i second the 3M VHB, you should be able to get a small section of it from your local sign shop or body shop. It is what holds the trim to your car.
How long ago did you upgrade to 3.8 ?
If it has been in the last 90 days, go to the Restore to an older date function on your computer and roll the PC back to before you upgraded.
If that doesn't...
I just moved and have everything hooked back up and working except the zero plate. I have the wire in the bundle going to the PRT controller, but do not remember where I disconnected it from a month...
What always has worked for me both in my shop and at work when I managed several automotive installation shops was to set aside the last 15 to 20 minutes of the day to clean the shop. Not only does...
