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 Would something like OctoPrint work with the Silhouette? So you could print from anywhere on your network.

@mfraz74 No idea and not something I'll look into - jobs themselves run so fast and need work after anyhow that it wouldn't really help at all, and I also want to have hobbies without having to involve work 😉
