We're getting thin on the ground when it comes to vinyl so I think it's time to order some more.


Model is a Roland CAMM-1 PNC-950. It hold up to 610mm (24") media and cuts up to 584mm ( ~23"). Length is essentially unlimited as it can use roll-feed media but seems to be restricted to 25m.
This is a pledge for a 50m roll of Hackspace (ultramarine) blue matte vinyl as this is commonly the colour most used.

The cutter is being donated by Tomwardill, with a small stock of vinyl. However, we will need more and Tom would appreciate donations towards the cost of his larger stocks. Please indicate if you can help.

I have had a certain amount of success running the cutter with a serial connection from Inkscape under Linux.  More messing around is needed.--[[User:Artag|Artag]] 13:32, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 
* Sometimes the cutter refuses to print or respond to any buttons. This hasn't happened since I opened a door in the bottom of the printer and poked an EPROM there, so may be due to some poor internal connection.
 
* The serial cable (blue, with a 25WD at one end and a 9WD at the other) is connected as follows :

This provides for hardware (rts/cts) handshake. Software flowcontrol may be OK but the cutter manual suggests overrun may occur.

We're getting thin on the ground when it comes to vinyl so I think it's time to order some more.

This is a pledge for a 50m roll of Hackspace (ultramarine) blue matte vinyl as this is commonly the colour most used.

With the current offers a roll costs £55 + £10 delivery + VAT.
