Day one of placing a cricut in the open until my wife notices.
-
The only box I noticed was Tyrants of the Underdark. Someone is a board game aficionado!
-
It really is just better Clank!
-
I'm with you on that if it was for me. I have been looking at a getting a laser engraver, and I don't even consider proprietary software and materials.
-
Yeah, I have often regretted buying it, but it was on deep sale. I also wasn't sure if I'd use it much so I didn't want to spend more for a silhouette. They locked a lot of features behind a pay wall a few years ago, but it's easy enough to bypass if you're good with gimp or a similar software
-
I love that. Were you expecting her to notice and had a plan in case she did notice, or were you just going with the flow?
-
Hope you like CUSTOM LABELS.
My wife has gone all in her the past month or two.
-
Oh I knew she wouldn't notice it. And if she did, I would have just proposed then.
She's wonderfully oblivious to some things (and still is, which makes it still so much fun to do with birthday presents and such for her)
-
My wife nearly tripped over me when I got down on one knee, lol. It was the height of Pokemon Go, and it was a little too good of a distraction from me being suspicious in the park where we first met.
-
Somehow my brain translated "cricut" as "cactus" and I was having the darnedest time finding it...
Nice board games too; love Clank
-
Just don't get a glowforge....
-
What's a cricut? Is it a brand of water bottle? Wait, do water bottles have brands now?
-
Cricuts are a brand of paper cutting machine, it's used by crafters and artists to cut out things like stickers (that's what we see the water bottle for) and scrapbooking things. I'm assuming it's a gift for ops wife.
-
That's wicked sweet. I can only imagine the shenanigans I could get up to if I could make my own stickers
-
I was looking at an ohmtech k40, but, haven't been able to justify the price for what will, essentially, be a toy
-
I was in the business for a while and they can be more than toys but that's mostly up to you and what you want to do with it/need it for. Once I stopped working in the industry I kept mine for a while but eventually sold it since it didn't really solve any problems for me and took a lot of space just to make cool Christmas presents... I have a friend with 3D printers and other stuff that I go to when I need something for my business.
-
That's OK. I spent a few wasted seconds trying to find the "circuit."
-
It can basically move a blade along an electronically controlled path, so it can cut intricate shapes.
It can also use a pen or marker attachment to draw on paper, so that you can have things that look like handwritten script. So for example, if you want to send out a bunch of wedding invitations and you want to make "hand written" addresses on the envelopes, you can use certain script fonts with your existing address book, or even try to design a custom font from your own writing, and use that as a mass produced "writing" tool. There are a bunch of ways to make drawings and things like that, too.
