I'm thinking I'll try this! I might use my after market engraving blade though, so as not to gunk up the regular blade housing too much...🤔 Thanks for the expiriment!
The most suitable blade type and settings may vary depending on your project. However, you could try out the following: Deep cut blade #1, speed 5, and thickness 3 🌞
Agree that cutting on a Cricut machine woukd allow you to use all sorts of shapes and designs you find or imagine. The pre-made cutters are wonderful but start to add up in cost when you add in shipping and tax. So using a Cricut is worthwhile alternative method to investigate.
@@creativefabrica if you do, it makes a lot of dust. I put transfer sheet on my mat (and PC on the transfer sheet) to protect it and make clean up easier. 😁
As someone who works with polymer clay I would not recommend this. I am forever cleaning residue off my tools and pasta roller. It also degrades some plastics. I wouldn't put uncured clay through my machine.
I was thinking the same. For a cut maybe but it can get really messy and if it catches on anything and starts pulling through your machine, I think there could be a high risk of damaging it. I do like how you were thinking outside the box though. I work with polymer clay a lot and have been for over 15 years and there are so many interesting and creative ways it can be used. Some people cut out shapes with their cricut and then cut around them or make stencils to silkscreen. I’m not saying to not try this but if you do, be very careful. Personally, it’s not worth the risk for me. Just go with the cut out shapes.
