5 Cricut Maintenance Hacks You Never Knew About

[@elliefoust]

Firmware updates are such a good reminder! Did you know you have to update your easypress firmware? Well me either till about a week ago, but that’s what the USB port is for on them! Simply plug it in and go through the same process and choose your easypress!

I like using dawn and warm water.

Just got my cricut two days ago and I'm in love! These videos have been helping immensely!!

So glad it was helpful! Congratulations on your new machine!

Would've been nice to see this video 3 days ago! Lol my explore air 2 was cutting way off from where it shows it was supposed to cut on the mat before you press cut. So it was cutting my mat and not my vinyl. And I wasted some vinyl. And ive only had my machine for a month. So I had to figure it out on my own that it needed to be calibrated. But it was easy, but you need a printer to do it so it can do print then cut for the test, just a heads up to new cricut owners! Tfs Tanner! I love the mat cleaning video you made. It helps us newbies out for sure😉

[@patti.j]

Thanks for the information. I haven’t done anything to my machine since I’ve had it. Haven’t used it that much either but plan on using it more.

[@angelcarreon8121]

Tanner, why do I need to pay a monthly subscription fee to use own designs? Are you pro or against this new policy?

[@angelcarreon8121]

🦗🦗🦗

[@stephi586]

You’re paying monthly for design space to use other fonts, svg etc that is included. It’s not to use your own it’s to use the millions of others that are on the app.

[@angelcarreon8121]

@@stephi586 This comment is from a year ago, when design space was going to implement a limit on using your own designs in their software unless you paid the subscription fee (yes it sounds crazy). They backtracked on that after the backlash from the Cricut community.

[@mlcards]

The calibration hack was new to me. Thank you!

[@cindycarlile9974]

What are your thoughts on people uploading ALL their svg, png or jpg files into Design Space. Does this hinder the workings of their application?

Can you tell me what setting I should use for HTV cause the setting it calls for it just cuts to deep.

Thanks Tanner 👍😃

How do you update your firmware on a IOS device like a iPad? I love you videos btw!! Your the only circuit people I trust

[@sharondavis6322]

Update the app in the App Store

[@libertyhowarth3180]

I only recently got my Cricut and I’m running into so many issues. I live in the uk and the Cricut has limits on size with print and cut so I’m wasting so much money in supplies. (Not sure what to do about that) My Cricut usually disconnects too, on USB and Bluetooth... is this normal? I am trying to start a business and so much has gone wrong, this is just additional issues 😂 I’ve been thinking about getting a silhouette but they’re hard to find parts for in the UK. :/

[@AbiNomac]

I’m going to ry all of them when I get my machine

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You should!🙂

[@UshasRides]

Hi - Great video thanks. I was wondering what you should do if something more serious happens like a mechanical failure? Have you guys and gals had any experience dealing with Cricut on such matters, or for us that are engineers by trade, are there things we can do ourselves to fix machines that are outside of warranty? Thanks.

[@dianaforsythecurran9441]

So many of us are pissed at Cricut with their new “roll-out.” Thoughts?? You guys are my go-to when it comes to all things Cricut, but do I now have a $300 paper-weight? Did they deliberately brick it?

[@TheQuietWitch]

How do we oil the machine ??

[@TheQuietWitch]

Mine Is making wild noises and will not cut anymore

[@craftykat1634]

Tanner, what laptop do you use? I have to get one and many of us newbies need to know what is best to buy.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

We all use Macbook Pros here :) However, any goof quality laptop will work. You really do get what you pay for, so just make sure it's a good reliable brand!

[@Joanne-yl2sx]

Question, can you iron HTV on a glass plate?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

we do not recommend that, no.

My machine isn't pulling in the mat. What should I do? Help!!

[@angelcarreon8121]

This channel is silent on the issue. They haven't commented as of yet, yet they reply to other comments. Let's give them some time to take a stance.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

We are not a channel or company that receives money to endorse Cricut merchandise. We, as a company, will comment on this issue soon. We are still wrapping our heads around all of the changes with Cricut in addition to that we have moved our entire company to a new studio space and have been less active on here because of that. Our lack of communication has nothing to do with our "silence" on this Cricut issue. Thanks for your patience! :)
