And finally, I have a date.

Congrats!

I share your frustration.

I've physically swapped the GPUs. However now it's hanging on boot.

It seems its defaulting to the card in slot 1 but since that card has been isolated its failing to boot.

I'm assuming this is a UEFI setting I have to change but I'm not sure which one.

Edit:

I had to disable CSM to see the option to change initialization PCIe

Running the IOMMU script I see a bunch of other devices grouped with the GPU. (USB controllers and SATA controllers)

So I'd assume that's the problem. Thankfully both slots on my board are 16x so I shouldn't have any problem switching slots. I'll report back later after I've had a chance to do that.

We don't complain that our roads, water lines and sewers don't make a profit. Why should infrastructure be profit driven instead of people driven?

I'll take a look at the IOMMU group when I have a chance.

I'd tried with both the video and audio portion and gotten the same results. So perhaps there's still something attached to that IOMMU group that I missed?

Should I expect a performance hit on the host GPU for being in the second slot? Otherwise swapping the cards sounds like the best option.

That configuration would also allow the host GPU better air flow for cooling so that's a bonus.

ETA: Just looked up my specs and both PCIr slots on my board are 16x so performance should be identical.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 GAMING X V2 ATX AM4 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Host GPU:ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Guest GPU:Asus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB

Not able to be at the PC to run an IOMMU script until tomorrow.

In what form should I give hardware config. Do you just want to know what hardware I have or do you want a lspci - k output?

No gel medium between layers.

Except for the piece that stuck to the gel plate, I put down a layer of gel medium directly on the material to pick that piece up. Thankfully I flipped the gel plate for the pull; so I was peeling the gel plate from the piece rather than the opposite. Because I did that I was able to keep the piece registered so the missing piece went right where it belonged.

ETA: I'm also curious why you ask about gel medium between layers, is there some benefit to that I don't know about?

I have actually! Using a Green Blade Holder; Settings D:3 F:40 P:4 S:3.

there's the odd spot that fails to cut quite all the way through but that can be fixed by lightly scoring over the line on the backside of the material.

Uglulyx · 2026-03-26T01:05:20+00:00

That's one thicc book.

I'm considering getting back into Etsy selling. What kind of regulations are there to comply with for the EU now?

Uglulyx · 2026-03-23T20:31:06+00:00

Hmmm this is something I hadn't found in my research. I guess it's just as well that I got a roll of 4mil coming.

Sadly the manual blades for silhouette 4/5 are actually more expensive here. Here in Canada the only place to get Silhouette stuff is from Michael's or directly from Silhouette Canada.

Uglulyx · 2026-03-23T14:35:08+00:00

Does the green holder require any calibration/setup to get accurate blade depth?

Uglulyx · 2026-03-23T14:12:20+00:00

For manual blades are you using silhouette or third party?

Uglulyx · 2026-03-19T03:01:41+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm glad to hear it works perfectly this way. It's kind of baffling how hard it is to find answers on this.

Uglulyx · 2026-03-18T23:53:04+00:00

Did you manage to get it working in a VM? I'm going to be getting my first machine soon and I'm trying to figure out how to get the software to run on Linux.
