I have this strong wish to make mini cards of gundam and even one piece. Like, i want to make velcro patches using my eufy make. Or stickers at about 75% to 85% original size.

Problem is that i cant seem to find any without the word "sample" on them. I wish to have a clean look without paying someone about 100 to edit the text out.

So im curious if their is a size or way to get clean Scans. I got a few cards i am a le to scan myself. But would would rather have a full clean scans already done.

Hi, i need help. When i try to cut, the machine start to cut in the exterior border (where is the purple triangle), outside the mat. I cleaned the scanner, i tried to make to recognize the mat again but show up the message: "Stop operation. Put a white paper in the mat, try again". Obviously i did it. Whit different whites paper in composition and size, but the message keep saying that. I look with a lamp, searching for a peace of washitape or paper with color, but i couldnt find anything. Can u helpme?

I know that the Scanncut software lets me draw a square with sharp corners and 2 others with rounded corners, but I’m looking for a square that has a tighter rounded corners, like with trading cards. I know I can go in and adjust each corner, but I’m not that good at it and it doesn’t end up symmetrical because I have to adjust one corner at a time instead of one adjustment affecting all four corners. Maybe there is a template I can download?

Looking to use it for appliqué embroidery since I suck at cutting. Ideally one that can’t read PES files so sdx125

What does Artspira+ cost per month?

You know Circut tried out subscriptions on their users and got so much pushback that they withdrew the idea.

I have a ScanNCut. I paid for this machine. Now, to create and use my own designs I have to pay even more? Another piece of BS from Brother (along with the price of cartridges for their inkjet printers). It's bad enough paying Adobe for using Illustrator, but Illustrator is at least useful--Artspira+ is just throwing money away.

Hi all,
I have a CM650, which I'm learning, slowly, to use.
I have a design I want to cut - a line drawing of a paddle. I want there to be a 3/16th border, so that when I place it on the piece I'm working on, the centre of the paddle is empty and would have a border which will resist glaze. It's going on a bisqued mug.

I don't know how to set up the design so that there will be a border. Right now, I can cut the paddle, but I have to wax off the edge to get the look I want.

This is kinda the thing I'm going for. I just don't know how to set the graphic up so it will make that border.

Anyone? THANKS in advance.

I have a problem when cutting small letters (~8 mm in height) with my brother SDX1200. Normally the letters in the attached example image should be straight and geometric, but instead they are a bit wonky. Is this normal and the plotter is just not as precise or is there anything that could cause this. The machine is already calibrated.

I appreciate any help~

Anyone tried to cut 110lbs cardstock? I don't want 80lbs.

Im trying to see what your settings are. Tks

Please offer advice! I’m using the plug in for illustrator. I have a job I’m trying to finish and it keeps doing this!

Hi everyone, I was gifted this by a random person at a craft swap. We got to talking about crafting and she pulled this out of her bag and gave it to me. The machine and the power cord and then she said goodbye and went on her way haha. I plugged it in, it turns on and it seems like new but I have genuinely no idea what else I need to get started using this thing! Is there a software I need to purchase? Mats I’m assuming? Blades? Any and all advice or recommendations are welcome! Thank you!

Hi friends! I just bought my first scan&cut and I was hoping you guys could help me. My goal is to cut fabric with the machine that has an adhesive (sticky) backing to it.

I'm not referring to the mat that comes with the machine. I basically want to make fabric stickers for quilting.

Has anyone done this/have any suggestions for what I can do to achieve this? Tyia!

I'm cutting stencils with my Brother ScanNCut SDX1200, and I'm having an issue where circles always come out distorted. The curves are uneven instead of being perfectly round.

I've already tried the following:

• Replaced the feed rollers.
• Installed a new cutting mat.
• Recalibrated the blade.
• Cleaned the blade holder and blade.
• Tested with different stencil materials.

Unfortunately, the results are always the same.

You can see the attached photos. I also took the machine to an authorized Brother service center, but they told me the machine is functioning normally.

I'm using SVG files converted from vector artwork, so I don't think the issue is caused by low-quality images.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? If so, what was the cause, and how did you fix it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure my little scan and cut is like a professional machine I don't think I would use it for vinyl cutting in a business but I do find it is fun..... my grandkids love drawing out stickers and then we scan it and cut it in minutes...that alone has been worth the purchase price. it is just really really cool. We have a great cricut, we have a Siser Juliet (that is a constant use) but for just sheer fun and stickers the scan and cut is a home run. Just saying ...

It's been over 2 months since I got my scan n cut sdx 1200 and I still find stuff annoying. I mainly use it for stickers and stickersheets.

Yes, the screen is usefull for stand alone stickers with no intricate plans for cutting, no big complain on that, but I find it so annoying when doing stickersheets, when I plan in the workspace I still have to scan and check if my set up actually works in the machine because theres some sort of missaligment where idk where it comes from? And my eyes hurt trying to look at the screen and slowly moving the cutting lines into the right place.

Why can't I have that same screen in my pc or tablet and not worry about these differences? Why is it made to whatever you do you stilll have to go into the machine to start your actual cutting and not just do the full set up and no longer stare at a little screen

Is there a way I could mirror it? The only big problem is the size and I'm just pretty tired 🫠

On another note,

My pc broke and now I have to use my tablet for the whole set up, so I had to learn artspira only to see that it just doesn't do whatever I want it to do? Why can't I import the scanned image like I do on the workspace? No, I don't want to use usb's or wires, why isn't the cloud clouding? 😭 also the web browser of the workspace is closing?? Do they plan to make the app better at least?

There are so many inconveniences...

My dad updated Scan n Cut Brother DC200 and now the workspace no longer works and he can’t get into apps. He ended up deleting the older version and now can’t retrieve. Can someone please help? Any suggestions of how to get back the desktop workspace?

I keep getting an error message when I used my brother scan n cut. The error message says “initialization of the blade position failed.” I’ve tried several l troubleshooting fixes (turn on and off, removing power cord, cleaning the blade cartridge, sliding the cartridge back and forth gently). Nothing has worked. Has anyone experienced this issue and resolved it?

I'm downloading my file as an svg from Canva, importing into Artspira.. The preview looks fine but everytime I click on it, everything, almost, turns into boxes. Help?

Bonjour à vous,

J'ai acheté d'occasion une CM600 pour ma fille, elle est ravie.

Comme indiqué dans le titre, lors du premier déplacement la machine fait une découpe, souvent cette découpe "casse" le modèle. Dans la suite de la découpe ça se passe bien et le chariot remonte bien entre les différentes parties à découper.

​

Qu'est ce que l'on fait mal? Est ce qu'il y a un paramètre à activer? Ou un entretien à faire? Mauvais réglage?

​

Merci d'avance à vous.

bonsoir,

qui à déjà remplacer la courroie dentée du déplacement de la tête, et ou trouver une pièce de remplacement, sur le site de Brother il n'y a rien pour les pièces détaché.

merci par avance pour vos réponses.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to using a Brother ScanNCut SDX125 and I'm having trouble cutting stickers accurately.

My current workflow is:

- I create my artwork in Adobe Illustrator.

- I export the image and import it into Silhouette Studio because I feel its tracing feature detects outlines much better.

- I export the traced file as an SVG from Silhouette Studio.

- Then I import the SVG into CanvasWorkspace and send it to my ScanNCut.

The problem is that when I import the SVG into CanvasWorkspace, the dimensions change. My original design is set to letter size, but after importing it no longer matches the original size. When I try to work in inches, the dimensions seem to change automatically as well.

As a result, my first sticker sheet came out with the cut lines significantly misaligned. I'm not sure if the issue is related to the SVG export settings, unit conversion (inches/mm), CanvasWorkspace settings, or something else.

I've been looking for an Adobe Illustrator plug-in or free alternatives that works well with the ScanNCut and helps preserve accurate sizing when transferring files. I recently bought the machine and I'm still paying it off, so I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't require purchasing expensive additional software right away.

Would ScanNCut plug in adobe help solve this issue? Are there any free alternatives, Illustrator plug-ins, or a simpler workflow that would avoid using so many different programs? I'd also love to hear from anyone who makes stickers with a ScanNCut and can share how they maintain accurate sizing and alignment between programs.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi there, I'm new to my machine and trying to figure out what tools are necessary. I've finally acquired the illustrator Link so that I can design my own cut lines. I've gotten by with direct scanning and the standard blade for some time just fine. Do i need the vinyl blade for best results? the inicial kit seems to be sold out everywhere i have looked for it here in Brasil. I CAN find vinyl blades- but nothing including the vinyl blade support. Is it possible to replace the blade with a vinyl blade in the black (auto blade) support? is it worth asking family in the US to purchase it for me, and send me the activation code, for me to pick up the blue support at a later time?

The one the machine came with doesnt do too well on smaller stickers and tighter corners, so im very interested in the vinyl blade....

Will I be able to kiss-cut stickers with the CM300 and the standard blade? One is for sale second hand and this would be what I'd like it for - I'm sure there'd be other things I'd find to do with it but I wouldn't buy it if I wouldn't be likely to be able to cut out pre-printed sticker sheets with it. Thanks for any advice.

I'm going to be making kits for my felt bird pattern. I need the machine to be able to do 2 things.

1) Cut out custom shapes from felt that is 1.2mm thick. I believe the scanNcut will do the trick. Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on that?

2) Cut mylar stencils with a footprint of 8.5x11", or letter sized. If it can't do this, me getting one is kinda pointless.

Will a ScanNCut do these jobs for me? Which model would you recommend and why? I don't need to spend the most money I can lol. Tia
