First time using a Cricut for labelling

[Jarno]

I have the Brother Scan 'n Cut, not latest model, it's one of those handy making tools to have around (like a lasercutter,or a 3d printer) so sometimes I use it for various things. I've tried it for lettering on a pedal enclosure, but wasn't a big fan. It looks a bit too much like a sticker (which it is!) for my taste. And for really intricate work you spend a lot of time pruning all of the little bits that need removing from the vinyl.
Bought it used thinking I could easily make spray masks to refinish the carbon fork of my road bike, quickly gave up on that idea (those fork legs are wonky and curved in so many places).
The transfer foils do work well to add a logo or something to a dedicated bag for a piece of equipment (made a bag for my Elektron Digitone with an elektron logo on it, and a bag for some of the associated bits and bobs like a PSU and cables).
Etch masks should also work well, haven't tried yet.

For fake carbon fiber painting i've used  router pad and non-slip draw liner as the 'stencil'.

The router pad, 'non slip mat' i've found many uses for.

I just bought a little device on eBay.. Graphtec because it's a name I used to work with (though only the big devices) and it was stupidly cheap.
I have a drawer full of spare knives & holders which will doubtless not fit and pro software which I'm sure won't support such a small device but, as they say, you never know. It'll be fun playing

Aha.  So your forum handle may be a reference to the late great Mr. Saarinen?
