I have extensive experience with a nice Roland at a local Fabian. And I recently bought an MH series for home projects with the kids. I’m pleasantly surprised how good the MH is for the money! Assuming $20/birthday present, the machine will easily pay for itself in a year of gift making. Plus I get the kids to help make their friends gifts unique rather than buying something from a store. That is priceless to me!

Will it register and cut out a print (contour cut)? I love the cameo silhouette for that, but dont see it mentioned for the MH.

Mine does not. I think you would need to step up a level from the MH series with US Cutter. I seem to recollect that was about $100-$150 more for that capability. But check their website.

Though depending upon your tolerance requirements, you could manually align your cuts to a registration mark assuming your material was inserted squarely.

What is a Fabian?

Perhaps a typing / autocorrect error for Fablab: https://www.fablabs.io/

In other words, a type of maker space / hackspace.

Yup. Good catch!

Sorry. Should have been fab lab
