technically i should mention that the vinyl cutter may have a teensy problem related to its brain being out of whack.  I have never messed with it but others have fooled with it and Miloh could probably tell us more.

Worst case we order a replacement brain board from the manufacturer, or design our own from scratch (it's just two stepper motors I believe)

the vinyl cutter came with two stands - the brand new one in the box which is grey metal is actually for a slightly different vinyl cutter.  The black stand is for our cutter, but we might mix it with parts from the grey one to make it better, or on wheels.  We have a piece of red vinyl to start with and we can get more vinyl once it's working.

as for the Xerox Phaser 8650, it will be great for making circuitboards with this pyralux material.  But first we will need to get the printer to print something other than a test page! :)

also, we should find a place for it to live where we can leave it on, since it spends a lot of ink starting and stopping.
