    This is amazing! So glad I can pay $11 for replacement wheels rather than buying an entirely new machine and chucking the one I have in the landfill. A little annoyed that Cricut doesn't offer repair services...profit over the planet : ( Thank goodness for TH-cam and people who aren't afraid to take things apart!

    This is definitely the best step-by-step video for how to do this. It took me a bit longer than it should have, but with my hubby and son's help, we got it done. The hardest part is those damn 7 screws that are so hard to get at! And, of course, we kept dropping the c clamps. LOL. But thank you! Very thorough and well presented! We were definitely able to follow every step.

    If you need to fix quickly and don't have time to wait for amazon rollers, OMG THIS WORKS!! Go to any auto parts store, get 5/16 fuel line tubing ($3.50) cut off your bad rollers with scissors, use bad one to measure and cut same size from fuel line. Cut through the middle and wrap around the metal bar where the roller was, pushing load until it wraps around. Mine did not close all the way, but it still worked just fine! I later cut a piece of painters tape to size and wrapped that around also. I also pushed one white plastic roller all the way over against the tubing. It was going to be a temporary fix but is still going strong and since I still have 10" of fuel line left I think I will just leave it 'and replace if it fails.

    Thanks so much for posting this -- you saved my Cricut from the trash. Took me just under two hours, including looking for suitable tools... I didn't have a small-enough ratchet so I wound up using a 1/4" box wrench to turn a Phillips bit. Man, this machine was not designed to be serviced, especially by somebody with large hands! But I'm back up and running here. Much appreciated!

    Seriously, just to change the small rubber rollers you have to disassemble all maker? Why did they make it so hard? Cricut should have some kind of service to fix stuff like that. Yo buy expensive device and you can’t use it if your rollers get worn out. Such a shame. I’m so disappointed. I don’t have any skills to do it myself.

    • @theZimvideo

    Thank you so much for the in-depth video! We were able to replace the rollers (from Amazon) and fix my 4 year old Cricut Maker with "ease"! Extremely helpful and appreciative. Figured that we might as well try doing it ourselves instead of spending more money to have it repaired or worse buy a new one! We followed through with your steps and was able to put it most of it back together. We stopped before putting the lid/cover on to double check that the machine would work still, and it did! The 7 screws are definitely awful to get to and does take a bit of patience. I do have a question though, does it matter whether we put all 7 screws (the annoying ones) back in or do you think we can make do with 3 of them (the ones towards the center)?

    Thanks for such a detailed video. Stripped it down (challenging) and replaced the rollers then carefully put it back together but I’m noticing a couple of perforated vertical lines through every thing I print and the same corroded roller seems to be wearing down again. 🥴 Don’t know why but I will dismantle it again and give it another go. I was so proud to have tackled it the first time. Here I go again!

    • @theZimvideo
      @theZimvideo  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The perforated lines are from the white rings on the bar they can be slid around the bar so the perforations don’t intersect with anything important in your work. Thanks for supporting the channel. Good luck.

      @wubyduby 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ahhh didn’t think of that! You’re right but when I move them I can see the imprint of where they were so is it possible that the bar is maybe pressing too hard? Just asking because now that I’m an “expert”🤣 in dismantling maybe I should try and loosen it. Thank you for your help/advice. Don’t think I could have solved that issue on my own. Much appreciated!

    Bro, thanks for the video. It was very helpful. Got mine done in about an hour, even with the wife breaking my ⚽️ 🏀. Pro tip; while you’re boiling the new rubbers, put the roller shaft in the freezer. They’ll slide right on. What we need to do now is figure a way to lift that shaft when we put it away (a shim or something), that would buy a lot of life, I believe. Thanks. Later!

    This is about to be a long comment but hopefully not lol.l Thank you SO MUCH for explaining it so well OMG!!. BUT the little metal piece that you click off right before removing the rollers OMG GUYS do NOT let that piece fall under . I tried putting it back on at the end and it fell into that little space under the wheel but under the entire cricut and I struggled for a good hour attempting to put it back on due to that. My cricut had this weird goo stuff on a gear I kept touching and it was a mess.l also suggest to buy the kit on amazon with the tools.I went to walmart and attempted to buy the star piece and it didn't come in the bit set I got =( . Overall though this tutorial helped alot and I was able to replace my rollers. OH!!! Life hack! If you can't seem to find the holes to screw the top back on use your phone front camera to see under that hood. It helped me put them in faster while holding that tiny screw lol. Thanks again !!

      Which lid the top one or the front one? when I put mine back together the front one would not close the spring was not springing properly to keep it closed but eventurally it started to work. if it's the top one could the top case not be fully put back correctly like the slots in the back that I showed in the video did not get lined up correctly? hope you can figure it out. without seeing it it's impossible for me to know what's happening.

    You never showed what you did with the large gear on the motor side. Can’t get the gear off to put the C-clip back on. And the shaft doesn’t go out the right side on mine. Hole is too small. 🤨 And, you didn’t mention the goo that is all over the left side that is just about impossible to remove from tools and your hands.
    I ended up carving enough plastic off the door mount to get the big gear off. Had to carve out plastic on the right side to make room to slide the shaft out. But I got it. 😊

There are 3 screws holding down that white plastic piece that blocks the gear and even though you cannot remove the white piece after removing the screws you can then flex the bottom of the unit down while pulling up on the upper portion of the unit and you can slip that gear off.
