Contents of the Box

The Cricut Maker Machine. I feel the designers have done a very good job of keeping this machine 10x more powerful than its predecessors to keep a piece of art. The rounded design, the colorful cover, these are details that cause you to love just opening it!

Two specific points: there are now two storage locations, and you have a groove to store your tablets/smartphone as the machine can hook up with your devices via Bluetooth! When unpacking, I was impressed with the weight of the machine!

5.1kg: a gorgeous baby, isn't it. It is going to seem strange, except for me, the weight of a machine is a sign of its robustness. Indeed, it is the pressure of its 4kg blade that will allow you to cut your material deeply and without moving the project.

The Rotary Blade + the assembly cover

The fine-point blade (Premium Fine-Point Blade) + the assembly cover

With these two boards, you can already clearly celebrate many projects prepared in the Design Space, or you simply create yourself. Personally, I fell crazy with the Cutter blade ( blade ), which cuts leather, the deep blade ( the Deep Point Blade ) that I used before the discharge of the Cutter blade, and the scoring wheels (a and two)) but I have never tried them yet (yes, I do -

sometimes - accidentally buy). I sincerely think that the blades included in the starter box are fine for the set-up and the first projects.

Fine Point Pen, Black. It is possible to write it down with the Maker. So, the purpose pen is out there in 30 different colors.

Mat Fabric, 12 ″ x 12 ″ (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm)

.

Light Grip Mat, 12 ″ x 12 ″ (30.5cm x 30.5cm)

The two rugs that accompany the Cricut are super useful! The material mat (pink) allows you to cut… fabric, amazing, isn't it?

And the second mat, blue, is the standard mat that I personally use for all my cutouts except thick materials: leather, cardboard. For these, I got the strong adherent mat (purple color). I had a lot of doubts about the longevity of my rugs. I had read reviews for other cutting machines that the carpet does not adhere after the third or fourth cut. Here, I’m over 100 cut-out projects completed (all materials combined) and had to wash my high-grip mat twice and the fabric mat once.

In a future article, I will be able to offer you my tips for cleaning and preserving these rugs.

The welcome book. This book furnished with the machine is currently in English, and the text contains the points to recollect

The USB cable: which is long enough, the pc must not stick with the machine because it needs room to make the cutouts.

The power outlet. The Cricut Maker set an EU adapter are included in it.

SETTING UP THE

CRICUT MACHINE

Opening the Box

When you purchase a bundle from Cricut, you will receive a couple of boxes, but the most significant box amongst them will hold the Cricut Maker. To know it, you will see the image of the Maker on the box.

When opening the Cricut box, the first thing you see is the welcome packet placed on the machine. The welcome package contains a welcome manuscript, a rotary blade with cover, a fine point pen, a USB cable, and a packet together with your first project.

When you take the Cricut machine out of the box, the power cord is going to be underneath alongside the cutting mats. You

will also see half the settings on the dial between the fabrics.

This is often for when you need a little less or a little more force than is given by the programmed settings. If you narrow a light-weight cardstock, for instance, but the knife doesn't completely cut the project, you can pick the half setting between Light and Cardstock. Or, if you narrow a billboard board and the blade exerts an excessive amount of pressure by slicing your pad, simply select the arrangement between the material and the poster board. If you use another product and face it, you can use this tool to overflow 100 different materials, so why wouldn't you? All you need to do is to change the dial to the setting' Custom.' You can then pick the precise product you are using from the huge drop-down list in Design Space. And again, the Cricut changes its blade settings automatically so that you do not have to.

.

Unwrapping

The Cricut machine is wrapped with a layer of cellophane and a protective wrapper. Before fixing the device, you have to get rid of the wrappings.

Some Styrofoam protects the in-housing of the machine, which has got to go too.

Your Cricut Maker also will accompany some supplies, and you ought to unwrap them and check them out. Lucky for you, the fine point blade is already installed in the Cricut Maker, so you do not need to bother with that.

Visit https://design.cricut.com/#/setup

The following step in fixing your machine lies in the technical aspects. Cricut features a webpage dedicated to walking you through this process, which makes it super easy.

Open cricut.com/setup on your device. You can use any device that is compatible with Cricut, like a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Once you do this, you will be asked to put in Cricut Design Space and also sign up (I have covered it in the next chapter). Then, you will be given your Cricut ID.

If you have been using a former Cricut machine before, then you can go on with your former ID.

Plugging It In

Then, you need to take your USB cord and the cord to power up your Cricut machine.

This will be shown on the setup wizard of the webpage.

.

For the USB cord, you connect the square end to the Cricut Maker device and the other end to the PC. And, the power cord is easy
