Crayola Cutter - anyone try it? Anonymous
"The Crayola Cutter makes cutting as easy as tracing a picture. The safe, easy-to-use cutting wand handles like a pen, so you can cut out intricate shapes anywhere on the page. Designed with safety in mind, the punch-tip action cuts paper by perforating it, not slicing, and the tip retracts when not in use."


I saw a commercial for this product sometime last week, anyone try it to use for papercraft?

No, but it sounds pretty cool. I figure it would only be usable on the larger, less intricate papercrafts.

I'd rather get a craftrobo that cuts everything for you like how you'd print stuff out of a printer.

i heard about that back when /po/ began, but does it correctly cut ANY document? or just special 'craftrobo' formated projects...

Supposedly it can cut any document, it's guided by an 'eye' that senses only the registration points you've placed when you've printed your papercraft out. Now if you're someone that's got wads of cash you're willing to throw away for your hobby, get an S/M-800 Zund machine, does the same shit but precision's in the microns.

you need proper software to cut. Aside from the bundled sfotware, there is a special version of pepakura that handles that task so can auto cut PDO. you can't use the craftrobo for normal PDF, JPGS, etc unless you import them into the bundled software and trace the lines manually.

"Cuts where scissors can't reach."
So can an X-Acto Knife, and you don't need electric power to do so (notice the electrical cord but they you only get to see glimpses of that cord in the commercial ;o). That's probably why it's $20. As I understand it, it perforates the paper, so there must be some tip that goes up and down REALLY fast if you want to get a nice clean cut (I wonder if you put some ink on the tip, maybe you could get a tattoo with it? ;o).
Haven't tried it yet, and never will. Teach your kids to be careful with knives, if they haven't found that out for themselves yet, don't buy them this...
It's such a typical "gadget-type" invention. You don't really need it, but some people will still buy it because they mistakingly think it's cool to cut paper this new and 'better' way than with a simple knife.
