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.

-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.

-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.
-==Operation==
-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.
-Quick setup guide :
-* Set inkscape to hpgl output
-* draw figure and print to a file
-* set serial port to 9600 8n1, crtscts.
-* connect blue cable (a 9-pin gender-changer is needed at the PC end)
-* load vinyl, switch cutter on. cutter should park at right hand side
-* press Setup, cutter parks at left. Move cutter if necessary with cursor buttons, press Origin Set to mark lower right corner of drawing
-* cat the inkscape output file to the serial port
-It should be possible to enable the serial port as a printer and print direct to it, but I found this produced cutter errors (flashing power light) and no cut.
-The following file was generated by inkskape for a star shape. This almost works : the first leg is replaced by a poorly cut arc. May imply a need for some sort of initialisation data.
