scal 3 and us cutter

Post by peverroad »

We just recieved our us cutter and downloaded scal3, (we are very familiar with scal 2 and cricut) they are working together but it is pushing the vinyl threw before it even starts to cut. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?

not familiar with the US Cutter machine. Hopefully someone who has one may shed some light. If not, contact CE Support and see if they can shed some light.

Orientation is realllly different with the us cutter than the cricut.

We have a pcut 650 and ..... well I will try and diagram the orientation.

With mat set to horizontal.

If you set your orientation at horizontal and put your design as the top hello is placed, it will cut
like the bottom hello - with the exception of the letters being spun clockwise. Couldn't figure out
how to do that on here. Hope this helps. Haven't had ours too long but really like it. You could
always download signblazer free trial. Works rather well, but I like the simplicity of scal3.
Hope this helps.
