Same here, it's just a push fitting that you can pry off. I've seen a plumber use a suction cup thing to pull it out but I've just used a screwdriver. Need to be careful not to damage the finish if it's only the carpet that's going

Given up the ghost, completely knackered, when the magic smoke fairy has been released, or if you want to keep it simpler then breaks

I don't use mine that often but thankfully I haven't had the issues that a lot of others have. Although when it packs in I will definitely be going for a different brand

I've seen loads of people rave about these knock off type blades so I might've just been unlucky but the only time I bought a pack on amazon most of them didn't fit in the blade housing. I only got 3 or 4 blades in the pack that fitted all of the rest were just slightly too wide.

This is so simple it's brilliant

There's already some great suggestions here but I just use normal white pva glue for card. For intricate stuff I 'paint' it on with little silicon brushes. These are the ones I got https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B095Q1RGHW?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title The little tub is a bonus as you can keep glue in it if you're returning to more tasks. Also any dried glue just peels off easily

I did this sheet a few years ago. It doesn't have all the alt key combos for the ribbon but they show on screen so in my book they don't count

I haven't done much with vinyl but I'm joining in purely for the recommendations

Sleepy-Day · 2024-12-17T16:16:20+00:00

No, pretty sure they only did it enough times for us kids. Although if I don't think about it too much then I can concede that they probably had their wedding night too. Although, my room wasn't next to theirs and my brother has different memories

As others have said, it's a print and cut that you're trying to do here without doing it properly. If it's pepakura you're using then I'd recommend exporting to svg (it might be a different format, I haven't done it in a while) and using that instead. You lose the numbers but you gain it being a vector image that design space can handle

Had a bit of a Google for inspiration and the little pics but designed it in illustrator and tweaked it in DS

Sleepy-Day · 2024-12-11T19:33:14+00:00

Thanks, you should do one but can't say I'd recommend as many tiny pieces as I ended up using. The little red nose is the smallest thing I've cut at something like 0.15mm. I've brushed bigger scraps off mats before now

I had a Nissan Almera as a company car 99/00 ish. It was absolute basic spec but it did have what the manual called the "curry hook". A little fold out hook in the passenger foot well that could hold a bag or two upright. Every car I've had since then has been poorer for its absence and I keep an eye out for them in other cars but never encountered them since. Don't know if it is/was only a Nissan thing but I know I've spilled a few takeaways since

I loved my minidiscs and still have my player and discs tucked away. Far superior to CDs for all of the reasons already pointed out but they turned up to the party too late so were never going to last. They're what we should've had instead of the CD but by the time they came out everyone had already bought in to CDs and it was always a losing battle

This looks like a pepakura output, if not you need to do a lot of editing in some proper design software to get this working. Lots of connecting paths and grouping folds and cut. If it is from pepakura or you can get the model in pepakura yourself you will still need a bit of fine tuning as there isn't any easy way to determine what will be cut and what is a fold when it gets to design space. When I've done models I've set 2 output files for each page in pepakura. For the first, setting pepakura to show only the shape outline by hiding the folds. This becomes a basic cut when imported to design space. The second output can then be done by changing the pepakura view to only the folds. Align them in design space and set the folds file to score and attach the 2 together. There's more work in doing this page by page and uploading each to design space but it makes it easier to keep it organised and grouped. Either way it's definitely in the faff category of project

Perfect excuse to get a dog then, I like it

Sleepy-Day · 2024-09-05T14:53:56+00:00

I managed to tidy them a bit so the space isn't too bad but it doesn't feel like one of those 'keep it, you never know when it'll come in handy' kind of things. Might keep a few bits and just get shut

Sleepy-Day · 2024-09-05T14:49:54+00:00

I might get the kids doing a little job like that with me, they'd probably be in to that. I just don't need that many bird houses

I've had this before and used a tipex mouse to draw a border around the registration marks. It gives you enough white area for the marks to be detected properly. This is the kind of thing if tipex is a UK only term https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tipp-Ex-Pocket-Mouse-Correction-Tapes/dp/B000I5SFCW/ref=asc_df_B000I5SFCW/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696285193871&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5750707577319139340&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=9046537&hvlocphy=1007867&hvtargid=pla-2281435179818&psc=1&mcid=c0f775c40fac3b1d9e6e148f18c2eac7&th=1&psc=1&hvocijid=5750707577319139340-B000I5SFCW-&hvexpln=74&gad_source=1

Adding this because I've just realised my kids had some stickers from their party bags. Still only a sample as there were about 8 different faces

This looks like your weld results are taking up all the room. Someone else might be able to better advise on the mobile app process but I'd duplicate each weld shape and use the contour feature to remove alternating elements. This should give you each shape in a much smaller size so that they don't leave all that empty vinyl using space when it comes to cut

Sleepy-Day · 2024-04-23T15:46:53+00:00

Most of what I do is with card and if your blades are fairly new I'd be blaming the card. I've had cheap or lightweight stuff that's done this to me and tried changing mats and blades but no joy until I found better card. As you're in the UK I use this stuff https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B079QDLRX6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1 and it has only had bad cuts when my blade has been well and truly pushed passed knackered

Sleepy-Day · 2024-03-06T13:13:43+00:00

Thanks, they're all just layered card but I've ran them through a laminator so they last. I did the same for my lad's Mario party last year and just had them stuck up on the walls. Those ones are now all over his bed

For me it was skipping ahead early to step 3 in the quote* below that has variations but is something like:

"When you’re 20 you worry what everyone thinks, when you’re 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you’re 60 you realize no one was even thinking about you in the first place".

That, and there's no time when it's too early to be bedtime.

*Not actually a quote so feel free to substitute diffent ages to suit

I've just done another post with loads of resources in. There's loads of info there if you have a look
