Note for future viewers: The reason why the OLED display is upside down in the video is because he flashed the wrong firmware. He has the U100LQD version and has flashed the generic one. To fix this, all that is needed is to flash the correct one.

Great vid

Thank you so much for this! My rubber roller has MELTED!!

I dont want to put strain on you but could you add an option to remove shorts

Great tutorial!!! Btw, dude, you sound like Biden

After hours of working on this, I successfully replaced the rollers and the Cricut works like it always did. Now just need to calibrate. It took a very long time. More time putting it back together (left circlip was challenging along with the hard rollers I bought, not to mention the hidden screws at the top of the machine) but with tenacity and patience, I did it. Oh, and I prayed first too. 😊 If you bought the hard rollers, you will have to boil those directly in the microwave for 5 to 10 minutes. Also, I saw in one of the posts that the left circlip was not needed, but my personality would not allow me to move on without that. I ended up taking the circlip and spring back off the right side and did the left side first. That helped as I could push the roller bar to the left more to push it out more on the left, along with walking away for a bit. Although challenging and not for the faint of heart, it can be done. I am not ready to fork out money right now for a new machine. But when I am it will most likely be Siser Romeo or Juliet. Good luck!

Arduino probably decided to be open source because they realized that they couldn't stop other companies from tweaking some miniscule part of the layout of the design and not violating copyright laws. likely more about staying relevant than about choosing to be open source for the betterment of mankind. just saying

it has always seemed too complicated to try to make/design pcbs....not anymore. Great video

Lifesaver!

THANK YOU

Great guidance! Great video! Saved the day!! My Maker had an issue with one of the roller positions. Performed all steps and discovered that the rubber roller and it corresponding metal roller had become gummed up with adhesive and push the right rubber roller off registration. Cleaned knurled metal roller well with an x-acto knife. I found that by using a little dish soap and water I could lubricate the shaft at the rubber roller and move it back into position. (Sort of like putting on handlebar grips on a bike). Reassembled and all is working great again! Thanks for giving me the confidence to fix it myself!!

Hello Let's say I already have a database running on my server. If I want to install UserSpice, the best option is to have two different databases or to merge them in a single database with UserSpice tables and my own tables togheter?

Thank you for making this video, it is very helpful. I was just about to buy the 866 but I think I will go for a T48 now

Just wishing a happy thanksgiving

This was fantastic! Thank you!

You are my hero, at least i can say that i wasnt hallucinating

Maybe the person who designed this part to be so difficult to replace came from the world of car design, so you have to go into the dealership for service, but didn't consider that there are no Cricut service shops. There's no way anyone would just figure this out on a whim LOL

Unless you're a masochist or made something really dinky, why would you want to put it up for commission?

you are a god.

The boards with the socketed cpu is actually better because you can replace the cpu when you inevitably blow it up 😅

i was just reading the pdf of that book man and then your video pops up in my feed haha. awesome video. those circuits are a rite of passage, i think my first notes on circuit theory after i learned the basic laws were all 555 ciricuits. then dissecting the actual ic into it's transistor resistor logic using small signal transistors. it really helps understand current mirrors and differential pairs in small signal amplifiers using npn transistors and also biasing the base properly for separating the dc from the signal. it's responsible for me seeing the whole picture in a way. i revisited logic gates and flipflops using transistors earlier this year because of the 555. it was super cool. i remember opamp circuits breaking my brain years ago after being so deep into cmos logic and those old 555 ics for so long. they broke my brain for years but really are simple to grasp once i got out of my own way. seeing gadget throw them in everything for so long like he was eating a cookie had me stumped man hahaha. there isnt enough intermediate opamp theory on yt i find that's explained in a way us plebs understand. you dont need to know the math if you have a purpose then you understand the math, if that makes sense as im rambling here taking a break from reading a text book on the ansi c second edition that i got on sale haha. man out of print text books are expensive, i wish i kept all my old hardcover books from university. i ordered a data structures book today that i used in school and it is over 250 dollars for the hard cover and it's only a short book. i checked amazon and ebay everyday for months until i found it at a decent price today. i remember one of my data mining algorithm classes didnt even have a text book yet back in the 90's haha. the pdp we had was so old that you couldnt even really do operations on large data sets properly unless you scheduled a batch file to execute after hours because the university used it for student services and payroll too.

Pretty cool, I do my best work in the bathroom too!

Nice video. In this way, they assemble the components or not?

it is saying serial2 not defined

Your video appeared at the right time, cheers.

I followed your awesome tutorial and was able to change the rollers. My problem is once I put it back together, it wouldn’t turn on. I tested it before I put all the screws in and it worked but didn’t work once together! Any suggestions of what I did wrong? Thanks.

Was you able to write to other locations after this? or it was whole chip? (it have some internal GC like SSD)

My power switch didn’t come on

This is amazing and I hate to be a downer, but is there a way to have the playlist run from oldest to newest??

Thank You!! I was ready to pitch Cricut forever until I found your tutorial. With the correct tools, I made it through and am back to crafting. 😊

Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you!!!

Can’t thank you enough for this video. Managed to replace the rollers on the wife’s machine with no issues at all. Well, the only small speed bump was the torx screws to remove the top lid were T-9 on mine and not T-10, but other than that this video made it as painless as it could be

Thank you so much, it annoyed me so much. You're awesome. Like KZbin what are you doing??

This was great! Fixed my maker in no time!

I really appreciate the attention to detail in this video, kudos to you!

Where can I get the retro chip tester! haha

Absolutely awesome, you quietly slipped this video only found it now. Love the way you simplified things with your design.

Its fixes 1 problem. it shows all videos. But it doesnt automatically play one after another. I still have to manually click next. @anothermaker

Thank you! It took me, my partner with a mechanical engineering degree, a trip to home depot, and a few choice words but we did it!

I wish I would have watched your video first. I watched another video and now that I’ve put it back together it pulls the mat in fine but as soon as it’s about to cut, the thing that cuts goes all the way over to the right as if it’s stuck there and my light starts flashing purple. There’s a message on my computer that says critical error-45, 85 and nothing works

Both my hdmi ports broke on the first use

God bless Brother. thx

Thanks so much for this.

I didn’t you see you put the c clap back on left side especially if it’s so hard to remove bc the motor is on the way. Could you please explain. Thank you

these are great for plucking atray eyebrows

Should be moving the magnet in a circular pattern around any magnetic media. 🤠

What size screw driver do i need to remove the seven screws with

$4.99 for years

This video has helped me a lot, thank you. Do you still review PCB designs for others? I now have a complete design but would like a professional to revise it before I have it produced. If not any suggestions on where to go? Thanks!
