;D
After a while of frustration in the installation phase I cut out a page of Jim's High Elves.
The cats got real scared... The machine is not quiet... ;D
I found out that I used too thin paper. So I consider my first attempt an error, and will not show off. But the machine is super cool. I am happy I got it. I think I will try my hand on doing cutting files of my own too down the line.
Dungeon Plungin' minis and map tiles is a must. And terrain pieces for the pygmies too. All that grass is a pain to cut. And why not cutable pygmies...
I got a lot to look forward to. But I got to learn how it works and what paper and cardstock is good for what...
All in all, I recommend the cutter. It is a nice addition to the hobby.

That is pretty cool, I looked it up, seems a little pricey ($300) but for the time it could save it might be worth it. How long would you say it takes to print/cut a page of minis?

It takes about a couple of minutes. So I would say it is quite fast.
However, there is a slight drawback... The cutting area on a paper is smaller than the area we are used to fill with minis. So you can't have as many minis on one page as we are used to. But as long as you plan for it I don't think it is a (big) problem.
All in all, I think the cutter is super cool. And well worth the bargain price I got. I believe it will be best for terrain and bigger models. But it can handle minis very good as well.

I have always wondered about the various cutting devices, I have seen some here and there, I might actually get one now.
