Replicator: You don’t need to hack the CriCut

  • Kristen · 11 months ago
    Thanks for writing about this. I will probably by a robo. And I'm really enjoying that, in the wake of the DIY movement, the field of design is looking at the crafts for tools and inspiration.
    And I totally wish I had written about this before you. : )

    I meant buy. Sorry, that's an embarrassing typo so I had to leave another comment.

    Kristen, The CraftRobo is a great tool. I'm fortunate enough to have access to a laser cutter so I don't use mine a ton anymore, but it is pretty amazing what it can do.

    Holy Guacamole. Maybe I could make my own paper cuts, pop-ups, and automata designs with this?

    It is great to small mock-ups and prototypes, but not meant to production. I've been using craft robo for 4 years now and it good, but if you plan to have it as production, it will take you ages to load and unload the papers...

    This is only a great option for graphic artists. Many a home user has limited or little skill of Adobe software (also very expesive) to utilize the stand alone (mock) cnc cutters. True, the Robo is a fantastic option, but for those willing to spend the hours necessary to create the vectored layers, the cricut cartridges already contain. Nice option to the graphic professional! Thanks for the info.

    It doesn’t require a computer to function, provided you are willing to pay $50 for the privilege of using a font like Comic Sans. It is a closed system, but as with the iPod, a lot of people see that as a benefit rather than a drawback.


    Thanks and Regards

    Sure Cuts A Lot (http://www.craftedge.com/index.html) lets you use any font on your system and any SVG file with the Cricut. It is not powerful drawing software like Illustrator, but does support some basic shape tools. With this software, the comparison comes down more of which device, Cricut or CraftRobo, is made better.

    Any opinion on that?
