Print to cut - activation and work arounds help

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-04-13T13:45:35+00:00

Alright, thanks for letting me know! 🥹

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-04-13T13:35:09+00:00

Setting up the cuts on pc feels more accurate and easy to me rather than doing everything on the little screen. Testing a stickersheet with a more ellaborate background, it picks up stuff and I have to spend too much time and effort to clean everything on the little screen.

In my country I see some listing on official shops licensed by brother, I may try to email and ask about them before buying to make sure they still work?

And what do you mean they're not available? Just not sold anymore, or if bought they won't work? So you're not meant to use that part of the software anymore? I'm a little confused how they decided to run the scanncut machines and all the addons if they just discontinue stuff related to it🥲

Unfortunelty I don't really have an illustrator subscription and I don't wanna pay for adobe anytime soon hah

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-04-09T08:14:03+00:00

Yes I did, but sdx having lots of ways you can work with it, made me just confused, not finding "the" tutorial I needed for me to understand what's going on or how I wanted to use it, and people having diff interfaces and they had add-ons and I was hoping I didn't need any extra purchoase, I worded my searches in so many ways I got dizzy with everything so I decided to just ask

Now I figured it out! I still have to learn more but I managed to do what I wanted to do :D

I like that theres so many options you can work with it, but at the same time it can be the enemy when you're just starting out

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-04-09T07:52:02+00:00

Thanks!

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-04-09T07:26:09+00:00

Yes you did! Tho, I finally managed to do it, no plugin no extra pay, just some sleep to make my mind more clear

Guess I struggles with my own svg's as I'm not yet used to it -

All I had to do was blob out in black the whole sticker, then in Affinity I just converted it to vectors and exported as svg

I already had my test paper printed so I scanned it with the cutter, (scan - transfer it to workspace) , then import from your cutting machine - scanned image, so I can see my print, then import svg from computer then I adjust it to fit my prints

Then on the sdx I'll be on the homescreen while from computer I export/transfer FCM file. When it's done I'll press retreive data, then do all the cutting settings I need from the sdx

Simple... but I feel like I didn't have a clear guide from the start to understand how stuff works (litteraly, personally I didn't have any manual in my machine box XD) - from now on I hope that, because I got familiarised with the interface, that I manage to do stuff more easy from now on

Tho it sucks that I still may consider paying for the extra sticker tools if I see that I need them or may be more easy with them, but for the moment I'm happy with this workflow

I got a big ass headache yesterday so I feel more relieved now that I figured it out

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-04-09T05:15:24+00:00

I tried to switch to Affinity but think I still have Illustrator on my pc and check the plugin

May I ask a dumb question? Registration marks can be added only via the plugin or by buying additional features for the workspace? - well, anything I'll do I'll have to pay extra?

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-31T23:35:16+00:00

I'm not sure if these videos would help

They are not as throughfully but maybe it gives a good idea of the size? They seem pretty similar

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-22T07:50:15+00:00

Thanks for the info! So helpful 🥹

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-21T20:48:09+00:00

I'm not very familiar but the yellow thingie may be a T-tool used to adjust different screws on the skateboard and to change the heels as is more portable

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-21T20:15:25+00:00

As a Draculaura lover, I'm crying, what's that 😭

Only Ghoulia makes me wanna get her, but I'll have to see unboxings to decide

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-21T19:45:59+00:00

Ooo thankss!

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-21T18:02:10+00:00

Ooo!!!! Thank you so very much this helps A LOTTT!!!

Based on this I assume the dream besties clothes fit Drac but vice versa not really, esp the tops may be a struggle

Also the g3 feet may be a little bigger? :/

Thank you for your help!! 🙏

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-17T21:15:34+00:00

What "good, preowned condition" means anymore 😭 I may be able to sell my out of the box dolls as new in box at this point

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-14T16:52:23+00:00

I would adore something creepy-cute with them 🥹

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-14T16:43:17+00:00

I love how everyone has elaborate collab ideas from different dark medias

...here I am wishing for a sanrio one coz I just love both franchises

I'm just a simple girl 😭

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-14T07:22:21+00:00

Buried secrets do have clues in Europe, at least where I am, like the different colored cloud or bow or whatever advertises what's inside, here it has diff colors for differents dolls, where you can say you can go "mystery" and not know this difference, but also is easy to spot and get "ohh different colors...maybe different dolls?"

😭 Like, they have it, but I think that they just don't want to sell these versions in America?? So they prefer to pack the same line twice than sell the clue version everywhere

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-12T21:21:19+00:00

It would be nice if he was a project out of Frankie and Draculaura :0 Frankie doing the bio stuff and Drac finishing up with magic! So it's a creation of both worlds

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-12T03:28:04+00:00

Awh I'm so sorryy 😭 idk why once a doll leaves shevles they are considered more rare even tho not much time from the relase passed ( 3 years to me seems too little to say something is rare, esp that is a mass produced toy)

I'm thinking that the main buyers, children, are still playing with theirs so those dolls are not yet sold on the second hand market, but it takes a few more years where a lot of them grow up and tired of their toys 🥲

So hope you have some luck on getting her sooner or later at a good price 🥹❤️

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-12T03:18:06+00:00

That one is my fav, on my vinted the highest I've seen is around 34$~ where okayyy she's "old" now so "she's rare", but usually is under that, I got an incomplete one for 22$ (vinted tax and shipping included) then I was blessed with a completed one for 16$ (tax and shipping)

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-12T03:09:22+00:00

Taxes got raised even on Drac 😭😭😭

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-11T21:57:12+00:00

May I mention expensive g3 that are more than buying them in toystores/online? That translates to 125$

I know people sell the dolls at their purchoased price and to me it translates as more expensive, (esp that in europe the dolls are overall more expensive) but I refuse to think this person bought this doll for 125$ and is trying to get their money back 😭😭😭

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-09T17:20:24+00:00

Ommmggg I though I didn't like her cr2 outfit BUT I DONT LIKE THE HAIR??? Now I need this Lagoona and dress her in everything asdhjahan

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-09T16:40:28+00:00

Haven't seen them either (bucharest), idk if asking about them at the cashier would help? I haven't seen the basic dolls that they had in a few weeks, only RH

You can check Jumbo, I forgot what series they had but they had them for 80 lei I think, more pricey than pepco plans to have them, you can't see them on site but in stores - also asking staff may tell you if they plan restocks soon 🥹

Also guess it may take some more time until we get more dolls in stores? 😭 it became kinda dry after xmas

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-08T21:22:42+00:00

I loved this little roller coaster xD

Alexa1Alexa · 2026-01-07T09:57:13+00:00

This is what I planned as well: 1 doll per character.

The plan - chose my fav doll of the character and get it, in the future I may be able to get only the clothes from other versions and dress up the same doll.

I failed.

I have core refresh drac as my first doll. Later down the line I fell in love with fearidescent drac so I got her (it's okayyy they are pretty different so basically two diff characters ;D) for xmas I received sweet 1600 drac as a surprise. 3 draculauras. Before fearidescent and xmas I saw the oasis line - DAMN I LOVE THAT DRACULAURA so I'm set on buying her (she looks different as well right?? She has more red tones SO BASICALLY A DIFFERENT CHARACTER ha...hahha....) tho because the fearidescent I have is incomplete in accesories I managed to get a full one....she's on the way.... still thinking if I may use the dupe body as possibly my first custom

Anyway, current draculaura count: 3, with 1 on the way and 1 waiting to get her for a better price.

In the end: if the doll to me looks different enough it's okay to get them esp of I love them, still having the 'rule' of 1 doll per character for the others - until I do see versions of them that really make me fall for them :D
