**Do Not Throw Way Old Lens or Mirror Frames for the Universal. They can be repurposed with 3rd Party lens/mirrors for 1/5 the cost and the same performance.**

* Replacement mirrors for the universal are very expensive because they semi-circular. However, they are simply a 25mm radius mirror that can be grounded down. The files for 3D printing the guides are here[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d0jqYUwdTXVxafVrquHKa0RhF3BgHpDw?usp=sharing}]. Protect the mirrored surface when grinding, then super glue the new mirror to available mounting frames.

== Bugs/Quirks ==
*After a computer refresh UCP stopped showing previews for and cutting color layers that were marked as "VECT" despite having the correct color codes and line weight. This was tested with Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat. Files that had been previously created and were in the file cache still worked though. What seems to have fixed the issue '''was selecting a material from the material library in Adobe Illustrator's advanced print dialog and running the project with those settings first''' - "VECT" worked. From there you can go back into the print dialog and start selecting your own layers to output as "VECT".
