  • Changing the rubber rollers on your Cricut Maker or Cricut Air can be a very challenging. Nothing about this machine is "normal." I'll take you step by step through the process of disassembling the machine, changing the rollers and putting it back together. Since I've done a bunch of these, I can show you all the tips and tricks along the way.

    *These ratchets are great in general and they're what I used, but they're not made for this purpose. I hot glued a bit into a 1/4" socket (my wife's idea) and it worked great. If you don't think you'll use the the ratchets for other socket-related things, just get the non-ratcheting bit holder.

    Great tutorial! I was able to get all the way until the 15:18 mark with ease. When I went to try to take the roller out, it won’t. I’m not sure if it’s because I have the Maker 1. The bar is so long that I’m not even able to wiggle it out or anything. Have you worked on any Maker 1, and if so, how did you get the roller bar out?

    • @AnotherMaker
      @AnotherMaker  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      When you slide the bar to the right, does it actually start to come out the side of the machine or is the hole on the power button side just a tiny bit smaller than the rod? I've had to do a little bit of filing on one to just get a burr out of the way and then the rod slid through on the right.

    Thank you, AnotherMaker. I'm almost done using your guide, and I couldn't have done it without you :) I also had trouble removing the roller bar, but I used a little lube, and wiggled the bar to the upper part of the hole, which seemed a little larger. Also, I ran intro trouble putting the cover back on. Instead of turning the unit over, I put the machine on the edge of the table with 2 feet hanging off. That way, I could screw at least 2 bottom screws in place without wrecking the alignment. Then turned the machine to do the other side the same way. Not flipping the machine worked better for me.

    Thank you for such a well detailed video on replacing the rubber rollers on Cricut machines! This is probably the best detailed one I have seen. I'd like to add a few tips that will help others in this endeavor:
    1. My Cricut Maker definitely requires a T-9 driver for the lid screws. I have seen other videos and even comments here that had/have the same info. Owners should be aware that it may be either T-9 OR T-10 --- Either way, it surely seems just an attempt by the manufacturer to stymie owners from DIY repairs.
    2. You may want to show a more clear view of which way those angled posts/tabs face on the underside of the flat plastic cover of the top lid hinge. If you attempt to put it back on with the piece turned the wrong direction . . . well, let's just say it don't work.
    3. You are spot on with your description of placing the body/cover back in place and aligning those slats/tabs... ALL of those slats/tabs! I thought ours was properly placed twice, but when I had put the bottom four AND the seven top-underside screws back, replaced the lid on the hinge and closed the lid for inspection, both the first and second attempts had the center section of the back of the body bowed out. I tell you, removing and replacing those seven underside screws just doesn't get any more fun with practice! The third time, it just seemed to fit like a glove when I placed the body back on and the four long screws even seemed to go in smoother too.
    4. There IS an easier way to replace those tension springs! Really easier than trying to hold a tiny portion of spring metal tightly and stretching beyond your gripping strength. First, make sure to put the end of the spring that is "more closed up" on to the bottom, or arm, connection FIRST. Then, using a very small flat blade screwdriver, the smaller the better, slide its blade through the opposite spring opening. Let the spring slide down the screwdriver shaft some -- perhaps an inch and a half, but not too far as you don't want to stretch the spring beyond recover. Now place the flat blade just into the tab slot for the spring. You want the screwdriver blade just a tiny bit through the tab/slot width. (I hope this makes sense -- you don't want it so close to the edge that it will slip off, but you also don't want it extended too far beyond the tab; which will make keeping the spring in its place more difficult when removing the screwdriver.) While lifting the screwdriver handle, slide the spring up to the slot where it is to go. As you continue lifting the screwdriver keep pushing the spring over the tab for the slotted position for the spring. It may not happen perfectly on your first attempt (although, I have NEVER had this method fail), but if you pay attention to where the spring opening is facing and keep the spring as close to the tab/slot as possible, it will be in place before you know it. I've used this method since I was about age 14 (now 70) and the whole process takes about 3 seconds. You're welcome.

    I've been dealing with stretched out rollers on my Cricut Maker for about the past year. (I bought the Maker in May of 2020). My Cricut gets a lot of use. After a long online chat with Cricut support, the best I could get out of them was a $50 promo code toward a new one. I finally set time aside and decided to tackle this.
    I did end up needing a T9 instead of a T10. I bought the type of rollers you have to soak in hot water, but despite that, they are nearly impossible to get on the rollers by hand. I found boiling them for a minute in the microwave and then immediately putting them on the roller will get them ON the roller. I then used an 11mm wrench (the circle side, not the C-shaped side) to jiggle the roller into position with ease. It worked like a charm. I did need a right angle screwdriver for the 7 screws and I used a small mirror to be able to see the 3 hidden ones. I can't say how long it took as I worked on it as I had spare time over a couple of days, but I'm guessing between 1 to 2 hours. I was not able to put the tiny C-clamp back on the motor side of the Cricut (left side) but it seems to do fine without it.
    I'm using my Cricut again with ease for the first time in a long time and it's working beautifully. Could not have done it without this video. I watched several before attempting this project and this was the most helpful. Thanks so much!
    I am hoping in later models, Cricut gets off their proprietary bandwagon and designs a machine with an easy-to-pop-out roller bar so that the rubber rollers can be replaced with ease. It is absolutely ridiculous that the machine has to be disassembled to this level to replace a part that wears over time. It is also absolutely ridiculous that they would expect consumers to contribute to landfills when they trash their Cricuts over such a simple thing. Or that they should be expected to spend $400+ to replace a machine that needs a $10 part.

    This was an awesome video that helped me replace the rollers on my Cricket. This was the only video that showed me how to do the very first step, getting the strip off the top, with the newer crickets where the strip is glued down. All the wires, springs, clips were expertly described both in removing and when putting them back in place. I fixed it myself- no husband needed thanks to this video. There were some areas that were quite difficult, but his video gave me the confidence that I could do it.
    Thank you so much!!!

    @ 3:17 you removed a spring. Later you put that spring in the wrong location during reassembly @ 23:11
    You put that spring on the wrong secure point. I know it looks like the correct placement but IT IS NOT back where it was removed from!
    Perhaps that stamped metal frame is used for multiple models and utilizes that "hook" in other designs but NOT in this Maker3 model.

    I followed the instructions, was able to change the rubber, following also the pinned comment (filing a little of the hole). However, got a new problem, I must have done something wrong during the disassembly. My cricut won’t load my mat, it just keeps on blinking white and doesn’t respond when I click the load button. 😢 I contacted Cricut and they said it might be a button problem and they can’t replace the machine as it is out of warranty. Anyone encountered the same issue or know how to resolve this?

    The Maker is so poorly designed. They should be ashamed! With that said this video was great. A few notes....
    1. I needed a T9 driver. Bought a precision driver set on Amazon that came with a flexible screwdriver that made taking the inside screws really easy to remove.
    2. If you use the non clip rollers you can soften them with a blowdryer or heat gun to slide on easier.

      I think that was also a common problem with Cricuts. My wife had one like that and Cricut replaced it. It wasn't the rollers, it was some gear related problem. They actually did a software bricking of her existing one and sent her a new one, so it must be pretty common.

    • @TheTubejunky
      @TheTubejunky หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would guess like a CNC machine the GEARS need to be REALIGNED EXACTLY how they were REMOVED when removing that motor. I marked mine prior. As there is a "HOME" function in CNC machines and most likely in the programing with these geared motors. Take for example the OPTICAL ENCODER (clear plastic wheel on the motor) that is used to indicate to the microprocessor WHERE the motor is when running. So It would NATURALLY need to know it's ORIGINAL starting position so as to not "OVER RUN" it's limits and break the machine.

I took a scraper and lodged it in between then gently tapped it with a hammer towards the edge, like a chisel. Did that on both sides and it popped right off!

    thank you very very much. I also had to use a small grinder to open the plastic housing where it is misaligned to the metal body plate. Then i was able to slide the bar out, as you demonstrated. Had you not shown such good close ups, I wouldn't have figured it out. Bless you!

    Excellent tutorial!!! Aside from the top - which seems a big different - how similar are the remaining steps for the Cricut Explore Air 2? Have to do a roller replacement...
    Thanks!

    • @AnotherMaker
      @AnotherMaker  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've never had the rollers fail on the Explorer Air 2. We had 2 of them and it was never an issue. I would imagine they're pretty similar, but I don't know for sure

    Great tutorial! I just finished replacing my rollers and the only thing i couldn't get back in was the 7th screw. But since it's in the middle screw, I'm gonna say it's not that important. Machine works beautifully. You did a wonderful job explaining and pointing out what pieces had to come out, etc. Thank you so much! I'm so happy I don't need to buy a new machine!

    • @AnotherMaker
      @AnotherMaker  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for the kind words. Yeah I think you could have safely left a few of those screws out and it would be fine.

  • @Poppyiantombev

    Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, especially for the recommended tools for those of us who are beginners. Regarding the difficult portion in which you need to work with screws inside the cricket body: If you don’t have a small socket wrench, you can always hold a drill bit in place with your fingers and use a pair of snub nosed pliers to break the screws loose and/or tighten them into place. The trickiest part of this job for me was the roller removal. I found that the inner plastic layer of the roller hole on the power switch side was not aligned with the metal hole of the cricket frame. It looked like a manufacturing defect and it made removal of the bar impossible because the upper part of that hole is supposed to be larger than the lower part. I used a small strip of sandpaper to sand down the plastic and widen the hole which allowed the bar to be removed. Other than that, I’d recommend some very fine nosed curved tweezers. They helped with removing and attaching the circlips and grabbing dropped screws.

    • @AnotherMaker

      Thanks for the tips. I did one more that I wound up having to use a small file to make that hole bigger. So annoying.

    Thank you so much, this video was fantastic! So glad I didn't have to buy a new Cricut!! I was following along with this in addition to another PDF guide I found so I could have both the static and in-motion instructions. One thing I noticed from the PDF guide was they specified where to put the spring back that goes above the motor. I went back on yours and it does look like you removed it from a different spot (on the same bracket as the motor) from where you put it back (the hook above the bracket). Not sure if it matters just a heads up!
    Edit: My husband is 100% sure he removed it from the hook and looking at other videos some are on the hook, and some start on the bracket. So maybe it just depends on the model?

    • @AnotherMaker
      @AnotherMaker  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hmm. I'll have to go back and look at some footage. I did 3 that day and although they were all "Makers," there were subtle differences between them. There's also a slight chance that shot was from a different machine. There were one or 2 where I got my head in the way, so I used the footage from an earlier machine. Either way, people should put it back from where they got it :)

    I cannot begin to tell you how much I love and appreciate this video. I watched several other videos first and even was able to take my Cricut apart and replace the rollers. I had trouble figuring out how to put things back together and was very frustrated. I didn’t find a single other video that explained the process and showed it in as much detail as you have. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

    I started watching another video and gave up. I found yours and I have to say it was super easy with your step by step process. You made this NOT overwhelming! The only issue I had was with plugging back in the power cord as there is an right side up, but otherwise this was a great tutorial.

    I have been waiting for a tutorial like this. All of the other videos seem to leave out the little nuances like the glue on the first step or angling the rod out. This has been on my "honey do" list for a while, so you've probably saved my marriage😂 All the best to you!

    Oh lord! Why do they make it so difficult???? It’s so frustrating! 30 min and still stuck with the first plastic piece. afraid of breaking it. I see all the pins are out, but there is additional glue on the back in both sides! I used a hair dryer for a few seconds to loosen the glue (may have melted the lid? Maybe 😂😂😂).

    • @AnotherMaker

      Glad it worked out. There's definitely a vast difference on how difficult those lids are to get off. One popped off in 30 seconds. One took 30 minutes.
