I felt the same way at first, but I managed to get mine cutting properly again. I upgraded my firmware from v7 to v8 before recalibrating, and I definitely recommend running a calibration after updating. My cuts were off until I did. After one calibration, my matte material settings were cutting perfectly. But when I tried using those same settings on glossy material, they didn’t work anymore. I ended up calibrating the glossy material separately, and once I did, it started cutting cleanly again.

I downgraded from v7 to v6 because v7 and I just couldn’t get along. :sweat_smile:
I used the same materials and calibration settings, but when it came to the moment of truth, the cuts were already off—so I went back to v6.
Hopefully, v8 will finally be the one I can work well with! :laughing:
