Hello!
I immediately purchased the Pro-N4 badge-making machine and tried making my own original badges!
At first, I considered buying a parallel-imported “latest model 2025” product from Amazon or Yahoo!, but after reading some intense reviews such as “the product image showed metal parts for the sliding section, but what arrived was made of plastic,” I decided to spend an additional 20,000 yen for peace of mind—a conservative choice, if I may say so.

To state upfront—I’m extremely satisfied. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone try making badges by hand!

First, print your illustration!

I chose Kokuyo semi-gloss photo paper (0.14mm thick). After researching, I found that regular copy paper lacks sharpness and thicker paper tends to cause failures. Based on what I found, this seemed to be a good choice.

For cutting tools, I used the NT circle cutter clear iC-1500P. Initially, I bought the OLFA compass cutter, but I found it difficult to use as it started loosening while in use, so I replaced it. …Paper isn’t free, so mistakes aren’t an option.

発見した。ベルクの炭火焼！牛カルビ丼を食べた後にアイスティーのストレート無糖を飲むと…クソ不味い。喉がぬめぬめしてナメクジ住んでるみたいになる。

初缶バッジ完成！！！ヽ(*＾ω＾*)ﾉ
