Can someone here cut vinyl chassis protector sheets for me, or direct me to someone who can?
I would like sheets for an Xray x1 and and Xray t4 2016.
Also can someone give me some advice on how to draw using vector graphics software. I want to try to draw an image of a chassis then have a person cut the sheet for me
Thank you

Just got a cameo 3 and started making some masks. So far so good with the machine end of things at least.
One issue I'm having is drawing the masks in illustrator and exporting as a dxf to open in the Silhouette software. The scale of the drawing is way off. Has anyone else had this issue and may know a solution? I'm on a mac using cs6.
I was able to export as a png and trace it to get a good outcome, but I think with more intricate designs a dxf would be my best bet.
edit... seems as though you have to adjust the import settings to import "as is".

So my wife is getting pretty excited about buying a vinyl cutter for hobby use. I will have my $.02 on the direction we go hardware wise, as she tends to defer such decisions to me because I am fairly analytical before spending and she trusts my judgement. I would like for her to be able to get some return on investment when she feels comfortable doing so, which begs the question; should i spend more on a bigger/more capable machine? I will certainly take advantage of it from the RC side, making driver names and paint masks. I suspect any machine would do that with ease though.
Right now the Cameo 3 is the front runner, but is there a better machine for under, lets say, $450-$500 that i need to be considering? Im also looking at the uscutter MH line, which seems to be a little hit or miss quality wise.
I have AI and a few other vector programs at my disposal thanks to my profession. For that have purchased an entry level machine like the Cameo, is there a better machine you wish you would have gotten?

Does anyone use a Brother scan and cut? I have access to one and have been trying to cut frisket masking film for designs with mixed results so I wondered if anyone else who uses one can share the settings they use (cut speed, blade depth etc)?
TIA
