[@christinemuniz513]

Hello. I just bought the cricut maker 3. I tested with the piece of smart vinyl that it came with but I found that the cut wasn't strong enough so when I tried to peel the vinyl the design came off. I tried changing the pressure to more but that still didn't work. I increased the pressure to 300 with no multiple cuts and it still didnt cut all the way through. Did you have this issue? I tried cut with 3x cuts and it worked but i don't think vinyl is supposed to require so much pressure ot multiple cuts. It's a brand new machine, so the blade has not been used before.

Hi Jennifer. Great video. Thank you for you time. I got my Maker 3, two weeks ago. Set up went well until until the part where it says rebooting machine. It did nothing for 4 hours. Internet connection was fine - watched your video. Machine connected fine Windows 10 - It says "Maker 3 : 4 USB". Tried again to update the firmware this evening. Same problem. Then I tried a test print. It says I had firmware 0. Pressed the Update button and again hung for 2 hours before I gave up. Any ideas on how to update my firmware? I'm using the USB connection, internet is a 50MB fibre line, been streaming stuff and looking at the Cricut website so the line is good.

[@brucerandell3771]

Hi Jennifer. Found this online that fixed the problem: “kindly try out the following steps on your machine to Hard Reset it. Please ensure that the machine is connected to the computer via a USB cord. Unplug the power cord from the back of the machine. While holding down the Load Mat button, plug the power cord back in. The power light should turn solid red. Let go of the Load Mat button. The machine is now in Firmware Mode. In the Design Space menu (three white lines in the top left-hand corner for desktop) select Update Firmware. The machine should connect and prompt you to push an update through. The power light should turn back to white after the machine restarts and once the update is completed”

I'm not sure really without seeing it. I would make sure your blade is in correctly and the operation is set to basic cut. If you are still having trouble getting the cut to work, I would recommend reaching out to Cricut, help.cricut.com/hc/en-us
