New tool in the house! After circling one for years now, I finally pulled the trigger on a vinyl cutter/plotter!

It's a Silhouette Portrait 3, only a small one, but the important part is that I can use it with Open Source tooling & local only*, thanks to the combo of @inkscape & the inkscape-silhouette** extension!

Lots of ideas swirling around in my head about stickers, shirts and such, but for now I've given it a face! 😄

* Fsck this cloud only subscription crap!

@foosel @inkscape hold the phone, there's an inkscape plug-in for silhouette machines? That's brilliant! We have a Cameo and I never even considered that an open source interface might exist for it. Thanks for sharing!

@astrovore @foosel @inkscape It's a great extension... it also works with other machines based on the graphtec firmwares so things like the robocut etc. Really great bit of opensource!
