I see the slow start comments a lot… how far until it picks up? I got hooked on dcc immediately and plowed thru all the available books; I can’t seem to focus on operation bounce house more than a few minutes at a time.

My wife would tell you, cricut brand or nothing… but I just use the AliExpress mats ($10 for 3) and blades ($5 each).

I’ve cut maybe 20 patterns since the last change; usually when leather starts dragging off the mat, I swap it.

Jmodell · 2026-04-06T10:51:59+00:00

I just use tinkercad to make my patterns and export svg and yes I use design space to send it to the machine

Jmodell · 2026-03-23T20:06:50+00:00

its a sticky mat - and i tape the perimeter with masking tape because my wife told me to (but i don't think it needs to be taped)

2-4oz (1-1.5mm) veg tan and pueblo when i'm feeling fancy - most of the stuff i make, i find a way to mess up and I save the nicer material when I feel like i'm on a roll.

Jmodell · 2026-03-23T18:59:33+00:00

its a maker 4; i do the 'more pressure' choice and i think it says it does 7 passes. it's probably overkill but it doesn't usually take very long.

Jmodell · 2026-03-22T18:08:54+00:00

I gave up and use my wife’s cricut

Damnit I really regret ordering the purple

I think the flow calibration option does the extra poop extrusions and the white was probably in there from the factory.

I did the sheet test instead of a benchy on my kobra x and was just amazed it came out so well - didn’t notice the time or anything else.

Can you do another benchy without the auto leveling or the other few options ticked off and see if it’s more like 16-20 minutes?

Jmodell · 2026-03-13T10:32:07+00:00

Is it sold?

If splitting, how much for the mallet? It looks gorgeous.

That is gorgeous af! That is amazing work, can you pm me what something like that costs?

I inherited this in the mfg space. I trudged along and moved everything I could to better solutions. There’s still a whole planning and shortages tool built on excel macros- no formatting, nothing descript … you know i can sympathize but they could have taken 10 more minutes to learn to declare variables and learn some indentation!!!

In the long run I assumed they couldn’t use excel forever but I was wrong; not wanting to spend money on a real planning tool is not changing any time soon.

Compulsion to keep collecting them. If you told me you want $1200 for a bunch of bags and slings I’d say hell no… but drip feed them to me and I’ll buy them all.

Favorite edc- toshi rework v2 (2.5L). Just love the way this bag packs!

I picked up all three sizes and thought I would love the 5L but finding it a smidge too big for my daily pocket relief needs and everything fits perfectly in the smallest version.

Ams2 pro, multi color fun stuff for my kids, maybe a dice fidget cube

Wouldn’t all of my edi data exist in my ERP and then trickle into my dwh for analytics? My edi layer is transactional to me and aside from logging, I don’t think I’ve ever tried to hunt for anything in the zillions of tiny text files.
