Handles boxes bigger than your material by splitting across sheets, exports dashed score lines (red) or blue score layers for light passes, corner tabs, lid clearance that scales with thickness, and green sheet outlines for alignment. SVG/DXF output means a Cricut workflow should be workable, though score-line settings differ per machine.</p>https://philwheat.net/links/lennys-product-pass/Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:39:00 -0500https://philwheat.net/links/lennys-product-pass/<p>Lenny&rsquo;s Product Pass is a paid membership in the Lenny&rsquo;s Newsletter ecosystem: negotiated discounts and deals on a curated list of SaaS/AI tools the product community recommends. The economics are simple — the pass costs real money, so it only pays off if you were going to buy one of the member tools anyway; then the deal can cover the pass. Worth a look only against a specific planned purchase.</p>
