This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.

Cricut.

Also you can't even use the machine offline! They force you to use their absolutely terrible software and I have to "calibrate" it myself to make things turn out how it's supposed to! (eg. centered cuts, alignment, etc.)

If I would have known it was this bad, I wouldn't have gotten one in the first place. I make it work but goddamn, so much of it is absolute garbage!

Any chance you've found alternatives to the machine, or its software? I still see these mentioned here & there in crafting discussions as good tools, but I wouldn't want to be dependent on their software even if the machines are good tbh.

I can't vouch for it myself, but I've heard great things about the "Silhouette" machines! Definitely check them out to see if they could meet your needs.

It's crazy there isn't an open source community around it. 3d printing and CNC have been democratized, it's wild that printing and cutting vinyl hasn't.

Thanks for the pointer! I'll have to give'em a look!
