I may attempt to simply cutout the side of the case just as their new version does. Otherwise its $200 a pop to replace with the new model cutters.

Fits nicely and does a good job when we don't get all the dough out. Also, the cleaning dough should be stiff, with sufficient oil to attract the residue. The greasier dough that is considerably stiffer than you would use for making pasta will clean the machine. Just place it to each side of the cutter to get to the corners.

It is near impossible to remove. I generally let it dry for a day, then am able to laboriously work the pieces out of a serrated knife. If you leave the dough there, in a few weeks the flour/egg mixture can show signs of mildew... nasty! I do wish that the cutters had an easy way to get at the area behind the outside covers to extract that dough. A pity. Dough can build up in the cutters behind the case.
