Weekly Update 52 | Halloween’s Over, but Print-Then-Cut Never Ends

Hey Community,
Halloween might be behind us, but the spirit of crafting (and calibration, apparently) is still going strong. The community has been buzzing with festive projects, new faces, and lots of print-then-cut talk. It’s been a lively week all around, so let’s take a look at what’s been happening.


:art: Around the Community

@timmytation shared Making Stickers Become Exxxxtraaa, featuring soft resin stickers with a glossy, embossed finish. The “extra” effect came from experimenting after being not fully satisfied with the first result — proof that great ideas often come from small tweaks and retries.

@MCVDFC showcased the cutting machine’s Intricate Cuts, and honestly, spiderweb designs might just be the perfect way to show off this feature, lol.

And @Judi_B opened a fun thread called Drink, Drank, Drunk, inviting everyone to share alcohol-themed crafts. If you’ve made something along that theme, jump in and share your project too.


:speech_balloon: What Everyone’s Talking About

It seems print-then-cut and calibration are timeless topics around here. Many crafters shared their experiences, troubleshooting stories, and clever fixes once again. If you’re looking for a solid reference, here’s the classic Crafter Notes | Calibration Tips that always comes in handy.

There were also some new discoveries. For instance, @jenaya_whillock found that lowering the cutting speed helped with laminated sticker paper issues. If you’ve come across any other small tricks that make your process smoother, share them in the comments — someone out there is probably struggling with the same thing right now.


:star2: What’s Going On

The HTVRONT Black Friday Warm-Up has officially started, featuring early-bird deals and bundle offers. Perfect timing if you’ve been eyeing some new materials or tools.

Also, big news — the Community turns one! Some of you already noticed when we reached 50 Weekly Updates, but now it’s official. @Elena is hosting the 1st Anniversary Celebration where you can collect a special badge to mark the milestone.

And don’t forget to check the latest IdeaStudio & LOKLiK App Update Log #2 to see what’s new on both desktop and mobile, plus a peek at what’s coming next.


That’s it for this week.
It’s been full of crafts, chats, and a little calibration chaos as always. Keep sharing, keep experimenting, and keep those machines lined up straight — or at least close enough.

See you next week.
