[sudo-discuss] vinyl cutter/plotter & wax printer online

[Jake]

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.
