do anyone have experience with cutter that can be integrated through custom API's that are affordable for hobby usage?

e.g. cricut maker and silhuette cameo 5 can't be controlled from an API.

what im looking for is me having a program on my pc - i print a file with my art in, that art file would have an generated cut file from my program that gets pushed to the cutter, and i just move the paper and click cut - without having to do print then cut from their propriatery software designers?

Hi, im new in this DIT/Crafts/hobby space but trying to learn.
Im looking at a cheap Button press online just to start out and try it, and i noticed that i can purchase eg. Magnet/bottle opener/keychain bundles and not just pins.

If i eg have a 32mm button press, if i get ant of those bundles will they all work as long as they are 32mm, or do the press have to have some special insert or something like that to support eg. Magnet/keychain bundles ?

Thanks alot everyone! :)

What is your biggest operational headaches?
Im a software engineer, who have been building a webbureau niche CRM dor webbureaus for the last half year or so. I know it solves my own issues running a webbureau, but im interested in hearing how you operate so i can focus my effort where it counts and help eliminate the obstacles that take your time from what matters!

So what part of daily ops, client handling, aquosition, etc annoy you the most and would save you the most amount of time?

Ive tried making logo's with AI, but those end up generic and uninteresting.
I want a logo that doubles as a "mascot" for my business, so lets start with some information on that.

My businesss is BureauButler - a SaaS platform (CRM) going live next month, tailored with functions of deliverability pipelines, AI generations, ticketing support, quoting/invoiceing, subscription handling, e.t.c e.t.c everything packed to make work easier for Web/Digital/Marketing bureaus, thats my clients and noone else.

now i dont really know what i want, i just know that the logo should double as a mascot so probably logo with business name on the side. the mascot should be usable as a standalone "icon" on my website in the chatbubble being the "personified butler" that helps my users...
i dont like the high hat stuff, but a mustache, monacle, butterfly could be a good look, maybe buttlerfly shaped from BB representing BureauButler?.
Im going after a modern, bold and creative look while still keeping it professional, i like stylized mascots/illustrations alot.

id like as many files as possible, stationaires. brand guide,editable logo files e.t.c

id also love an animated logo verson that i can use on my website (e.g. hovering raises an eyebrow from underneath the monacle, then clicking drops the monacle looking happy/surprise, et.c.)

ive got a pretty good budget on this, upwards 500$.

id love for you to send me a quick sketch or two on some variations you envision (dont waste too much time on it, really just want to see how you approach this), the price you estimate (up tp 500$), conditions for your work(revisions, variations e.t.c) and a link to your portfolio - everyone will get a reply back so you get closure if i want to work with you or not.

looking forward to your sketches and hope ill find someone who can help me out :)
