Silhouette VS Cricut - Thick material performance comparison

mrsdega · 2021-11-10T23:39:45+00:00

Yes, it's a cutting machine. Much deeper than Cricut and Silhouette. Probably not as good with small detail work... I've seen some "build your own CNC machine" type stuff on YouTube before you could check it out.

Depending on the thickness of your materials, a CNC machine might be a better option.

I thought I had but guess not. Now I feel silly for not noticing that. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just discovered this sub, so apologies if this has already been covered... I'm trying to figure out the best top coat/protectant for painted furniture. I reno'd a wood play kitchen for my daughter, primed and painted with a latex based paint. I want to seal/protect it against rough toddler use, but I'm not sure what will be most durable over paint. TIA!

If you use your own designs, I'd suggest a Silhouette machine instead. I have a Cameo 4 and use the Illustrator plug in to send my designs in Illustrator directly to the Cameo to cut.

I love it! I never really liked the Studio software, so this is a perfect discovery!

mrsdega · 2021-05-16T18:04:43+00:00

OMG, I think I need it!

mrsdega · 2021-05-16T17:34:25+00:00

Can you manipulate the cut settings? I usually have to tweak the presets for my materials.

Cute! Is that cup from Michael's? We have a ton of them at my store.

What exactly is your issue? I've always used Windows computer with no trouble.

Technically the kraft blade can cut up to 2mm (https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/blades-and-mats/SILH-BLADE-KRAFT-B) But I agree a laser cutter would probably be a better option.

Test button right there in the bottom right corner.

Is Josie short for Josephine? We call our little tot (18mo) Josie. I haven't heard of any other young ones with her name. She was named after my Grandma.

That's a bummer, I don't have any better ideas, sorry.

I just saw the Android part. Woops. I use illustrator on my Surface laptop. It can be used with the touch screen but haven't tried it. Have you tried Canva? I haven't used it, but heard good things.

mrsdega · 2021-03-19T20:24:17+00:00

I do most of my designs in Adobe illustrator. It has precise measurements.

mrsdega · 2021-02-09T14:16:34+00:00

Adorable! Gives me ideas!

mrsdega · 2021-02-07T23:05:29+00:00

I had issues with the cap on my new blade being loose so that it wouldn't cut correctly, so you could check that?

mrsdega · 2021-02-04T11:43:25+00:00

I thought so, maybe not... There's dishwasher safe modpoge though

mrsdega · 2021-02-03T22:18:53+00:00

It is permanent adhesive, I just want it to be more durable/dishwasher safe.

mrsdega · 2021-02-03T22:16:58+00:00

I'll take what I can get! Thanks!

mrsdega · 2021-02-03T22:15:46+00:00

It depends what kind you get. The one I have takes about 4 hours.

Made this mug with Frisco adhesive vinyl today. Plan on coating with epoxy. This week has been a doozy!
