  1. Frage an Leute mit Schneitplottern:
    Gibt es Folien zum aufbügeln auf Stoff, die man mit bügeln auch wieder (Rückstandlos) entfernen lässt? Andere Methoden zum Entfernen nehm ich auch!

  2. Ich hab letztens Holzfurnier für meinen Plotter gekauft und heute ausprobiert. Herausgekommen ist ein Lesezeichen mit Honigwaben und einer goldenen Biene aus Vinyl. Leider kann der Plotter keine Romane plotten. 🤪 #CricutMaker4 #Cricut #plotter

  3. Cricut Design Space is the shittiest software. I mean what farking year is it that it's so bad?

  4. Test : la minimachine de découpe Cricut Maker 4
    Il y a quelques temps, on m'a proposé de tester une machine à découper, la Cricut Maker 4. Un appareil un peu particulier que j'ai mis entre les.

  5. #craft #geeks I need advice/info/specs

    I want to make stencils. However, my current use case is on a shot glass. A previous use case was on an object the size of a quarter.

    I think I want a #cricut but I'm not sure how small of detail I can get.

    For the glasses, I think I need letter heights ~= .25 inches (keeping in mind that the details of those letters are much smaller)

    For the quarters, I wanted arbitrary icons/shapes so the size may be less of an issue

    Is this doable? How fiddly is it? Assume I am a person who likes solving problems but has a 3 week deadline. Oh also, what model?

    Also also, how locked into the software/system would I be? Like, am I forced to use a subpar app? Can I only use their fonts for a
    example? Is #inkscape or similar workable?

  6. Rezensionen auf der Seite von #Cricut zum Holzfurnier (dazu gibt es keine Angaben zur Stärke): „Enttäuschend, viel zu dünn für irgendwas. Dünner aus erwartet.“ Wikipedia: „Als Furnier werden 0,5 bis 8 mm dicke Blätter aus Holz bezeichnet“

  7. My FIL hosted his very first fancy #dinner party yesterday and asked me to make some #cricut menus for the event.

    It was 'Rock and Roll' themed and I'm so happy with how they came out - terrible #puns provided to me and therefore I take no responsibility for them :blobfoxcrylaugh:

  8. I know you can do much with an x/y plotter. But what are good cheap #diy or #kit preferably open #alternative for a #cricut machine?

    I mainly want to cut paper and thin or soft wood. I've never owned a cricut before, but I do diy a lot.

  9. Ryan and I bought ourselves a #Cricut after Christmas. I'm still figuring out how it works, but I have managed to cut out some Hearstopper leaf outlines.

  10. Ich kann jetzt mit meinem #Cricut Maker 4 Stoff schneiden (eben ausprobier) und Heavy Chipbord (was ziemlich dicker, fester Karton ist) wird gerade geschnitten. Dauert auch nur noch eine Stunde. Hätte ja erst mal was kleines schneiden können, aber nein …

  11. Got my kid a little #Cricut for Christmas.. I think I’m having more fun than him! I’m especially enjoying combining 3d prints with custom vinyl!

  12. Here are my home made stickers.
    I made:
    - some grumpy Jussi-cats, looking majestic and fluffy.
    - my Otso the Bear King linocut
    - the Spinner logo
    - a cicada from last year's October #Crawltober challenge
    - Moominzilla
    - a snail from last year's October challenge.

  13. Bastelt so Zeug…

    (Puh. Gut das ich Vektorgrafik erstellen kann. Und wenn ich dann noch Stifte habe, wird noch etwas Farbe ins Boot und ein paar Möwen in den Hintergrund geplottet…)

  18. Lmao, Cricut wants to charge 99 cents for these basic shapes OR they're part of a subscription plan at 8.33€ a month.

    Ridiculous. Glad I'm able to upload my own SVG files and that they didn't end up charging for that (... they 100% tried!)

  19. There we go. I get a clean cut through the reflective material at one pass at normal pressure (selecting “Premium Outdoor Vinyl” as the material. I get a partial cut through the backing at 3 passes and a full cut at 4.

    Goddamn this is so much easier than futzing around with it senselessly.

  20. Not only did I can for the first time ever, but I made kiwi jam and kosher style dill green tomato pickles. I also made canning labels with my Cricut and inkjet printer with print then cut.

    Am so excited!!

  25. My latest #Cricut card, a work in progress. I used #cardstock and images from a calendar from Dollar Tree.

    The art of cards is far too lost. I don't sell my designs (YET) but find someone who does and grab a handmade card for a loved one SOON!!

  30. This is the third bookmark I've made with the Cricut Maker 3 and cardstock. I'm really loving making bookmarks. I still have a lot to learn, but it's a wonderful (yet expensive) hobby. It's worth it if you're looking for good habits. #Cricut #Bookmark #Cardstock

  35. If you, like me, are trying to use a #Gorton family single-stroke typeface with a #Glowforge laser cutter (or a #CNC machine or a #Cricut or whatever), and you'd like an easy way to do type layout while keeping everything in the single-stroke vector space, it turns out there is a solution for that (!!): https://msurguy.github.io/cnc-text-tool/

    If all of the above is gibberish but you're curious, basically, here's the thing:

    - most vector drawing tools (I use #AffinityDesigner) will happily open & use TrueType or OpenType fonts, but their model of a "font" is typically "a closed outline stroke with a fill"
    - things like laser cutters and CNC machines love paths/strokes, but they don't grok "fill" (or, in the case of modern laser cutters, they do, but it's finicky and you have to do a lot of trial-and-error tweaking to get the stroke & the fill working together so that the type renders like you want it to)
    - there are quite a few sources for single-path SVGs of classic engraving fonts (including Fedi's favorite, #Gorton) but if you want to actually lay out words instead of single characters . . . lotta manual work
    - the web application I linked above solves **this specific problem** by letting you do text layout, and then it outputs a single SVG that you can import into your CNC software or into your vector drawing software for integration into your designs
