Hi all,
New here, and here comes my first question.
I borrowed an Explore Air 2 from my sister in law, and it made me really enthusiastic about plotting! So much so that I bought a second hand Maker 3.
I am playing around with the Maker 3, and my first projects were just not cutting it (pun intended). I wanted to compare the two, and made the same project (a small design cut from 216 gsm cardstock) on both machines. Using the same fine point knife and settings the explore Air was doing just fine, but even with multiple additional passes my used, but new to me, Maker 3 barely cut through the paper.
I tried a fine-point blade 270 pressure with 2 passes, and 320 with a single pass. Both settings resulted in a clean cut on the Explore Air 2, but only partially cut the paper with the Maker 3 (I'd estimate the paper was cut less than half it's thickness deep).
Is this normal and should I just adjust the pressure untill it works? Or is this Maker 3 defective?
Thanks in advance,
Sjoerd
