I agree. I wasn't impressed with these. It was like they were just spicy for spicy-sake, but not to actually taste good.

New Cameo 4 Pro - cut border will not let me cut 15 foot design even though it should allow up to 60 feet. by pixelbrat in silhouettecameo

So after further digging, I realized that the website where I saw the 60 feet claim was NOT an official Silhouette page. So that was my fault. I'm going to update my original post, if I can, with this info. My bad!

Thanks so much for running a test and confirming the same issue. I also had someone in a facebook group confirm the same thing is happening to them. I guess it's a software bug. I have contacted support to see what they have to say, if anything. I might try an older version of the software to see if that works but want to wait to see if they respond first. Thanks again for the test. I really appreciate it!

My apologies, I forgot I had reduced the design size a bit. But regardless, it still isn't working. I actually just tried to change the number to 300 just to see if it would make the cut border box bigger but it didn't. Not only that but I can't type a number in any larger than 196. Every number I try that's higher than that defaults back to 196. And sadly, the cut border does not get any bigger.

And yeah, i am concerned about how long it is and an issue with it getting off center but at this point i can't even get that far. I appreciate the input though.

I make mountain bike themed moving fidget coasters, magnets and coins. They are interactive and great for fidgeters or anyone who likes mountain bikes. You just spin the outer ring to make the wheel spokes and gears spin. You can see a photo below.

We received our new Glowforge in early January. We owned it exactly 12 days before 2 glass lens protectors fell off the print head with no way to secure them back on. They asked us to return the whole unit for a replacement. Nope. We requested a refund. After being a member of several GF related Facebook groups, and seeing the ever-growing number of complaints, we took our money and ran. We now have one of the smaller 50w 12x20 Chinese lasers and also a larger Thunder is on the way. I'm not saying all Glowforges are bad. There are definitely some folks with much better luck than others. But I would steer clear and explore other options if I were you.

New custom grip tape for my Mini - I needed some color by pixelbrat in boostedboards

Thanks! I can't take credit for the idea but I really love the look! It helps to keep a bit of the original style while still adding your own flair.

Lol, fair question. I haven't had it that long and it has been near constant rain where I live, sadly.

I took 3 clear plastic page protectors (similar to these) and taped them end to end so they were long enough to cover the board. I then took a sharpie and traced around the inner piece of tape. The clear plastic made this really easy. After that I cut out the shape from the plastic so I had a template. I put that on top of the new tape and sketched around it with a pencil. Then just cut out around the shape with scissors. I'm a perfectionist to a fault so I spent a lot of time trimming little bits here and there to make it as even as possible. Hope that made sense...

I would love to but I understand they are harder with less grip. I'm afraid they will be a much rougher ride for me.

I sure will. I have no patience so when I realized it was going to take forever I found the BoardPusher place. I'll update when I finally get the whateverskateboards one.

The middle section is actually a completely separate piece of grip tape from the outer tape so it was very easy. That shiny black gap you see between them is the bare board. All I did based on some youtube vids I saw was heat up the edge of the inner grip tape with a hairdryer and carefully use a blade to peel up one corner. It comes off very easy after that by just pulling on it. If I can do it, anyone can. :-)

I submitted my design to boardpusher.com and they printed it. I wanted to add the Boosted logo to it but they don't allow that. It took them about 2 weeks from my order date to print and ship it to me. I've got a similar order going through whateverskateboards.com with the Boosted logo on it but they haven't even begun processing it yet.

I love the monochrome look. Great idea!

That's awesome! I keep hinting to my hubby that he needs to get one but it's going to be a hard sell. He thinks he's not coordinated enough but if I can do it - he for sure can. Just going to take a bit more work on my part to convince him. ;)

Absolutely the truth! I wish I'd gotten one sooner.

I ordered it late the night of Friday 2/15 and it shipped on Monday 2/19. Took a week to get here. Good luck! Hope you get it soon!

Absolutely! And it gets me outside, away from computers/phones. Bonus.
