Adjust your pen force and speed a few times on a small test square
Change your cutting blade if it seems dull
Check to see that your cutting blade is showing just a smidge
Check to make sure you cut all of the way through before weeding
Adjust your traces so they are thicker so they are much easier to weed and solder
Restart the vinyl cutter and try again if things seem awry or the program isn't starting
Place epoxy or glue over your circuit after you've soldered as the traces can lift up over time
Use one big piece of tape instead of several small pieces to cover your circuit for transfer
Spend hours weeding a circuit- this likely means your traces are too thin or the material wasn't cut all of the way through
Place your circuit on a piece of vinyl that isn't meant for the job the vinyl will burn and the traces will slide all over
Bother reworking a vinyl cut circuit... if you made major soldering mistakes you're better off starting over
Use the copper braid to soak up solder- this will heat up the traces and move them around
Use a heat gun to remove a component when your substrate is glass- this can crack your glass
Clean your board too vigorously after weeding- this can cause traces to rip off
Resize your png in fab modules- this may get you a really large circuit
Design your circuit- keep your traces wide and refrain from having too many traces run under the microcontroller, export as png
Load fab modules and png, adjust pen force and cutting speed
Start vinyl cutter, load in sheet or roll
Send the job to the vinyl cutter
Select piece or roll
Watch to see if vinyl cutter is cutting and not lifting off traces
Cut out your circuit
Place 1 large piece of tape over the circuit
Transfer your circuit to the substrate you'll be soldering on
Rub the tape side with the back of a pair of scissors or a flat surface. The copper adhesive is pressure set so it's important you rub thoroughly
Grab a pair of tweezers (or 2)
Lift off the tape
Lift off the excess copper. use the tweezers to get into tight spaces
