It’s good for custom vinyl stickers, or lettering on fabric. I’ve made star trek decals for my friends cars, made pop-up holiday cards, and custom designs for quilts among other things. It’s a bit limited because the joy isn’t as large as other cricut machines, and it isn’t as good for engraving or embossing in my experience. But it’s a great entry level machine
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 see it as a CNC for paper and similar materials. I steal my spouse’s at least once per year, often for making stencils for painting projects or for making layered lightboxes.
I guess its a machine that cuts shapes or something? idk have fun ig

I get the impression that Cricuts are super proprietary. Better to get some other brand of vinyl cutter machine, like Silhouette, Brother, Vevor, etc.
