    I have to chime in here. You are literally the only one on TH-cam that actually talks directly about whatever the title of the video is. Thank , thank you, thank you! You are informative, to the point without all the extraneous blah, blah, blah that quite simply just wastes everyone's time. Love your videos! Keep up the great work.

    Would be happy BUT Cricut truly needs to Solve Their Horrible Software Issues Including several upgrades as to being able to do several task including being able to actually create our own designs with ease. We would be happy to buy many of cricut designs. Cricut software is in need of major updates that will win many of us over... thank you love all your videos!

      Hello ... I want to make textile patterns to design t-shirts or sweatshirts ... but obviously I need to be able to use the rotary blade in a length of 90 cm ... is it possible to configure the cutting area using 30 cm width x 90 cm long and for rotary blade? I know they say you should only use smart material, but what if I glue my fabric on top of the smart material backing ... will you let me use the rotary blade? Has anyone tried? Does the program enable the rotary knife if I choose material without a mat and set an area greater than the 60 cm limit it has? Please someone help me with that ... I urgently need the machine but I don't know if it's worth spending double for the make 3 and I'd better buy the old maker.

    I just counted how many times I wished my maker would cut three times faster than it already does and surprisingly the number was... Zero. I see very little advantage for me to have a faster Maker, especially because it appears the three times faster is with Cricut “smart material”, so unless I trade the five or so miles of product I already have in stock, it will still be cutting at the old rate. They ought to have put more time and effort into fixing the issues with Design Space. BUT, kudos to them for their marketing! Good business

    • @kellyhayes
      @kellyhayes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      my maker is currently sitting in it's box for this reason. I HATE design space. I wonder if these new machines wouldn't cut any vinyl matless though. Like they said you HAD to use their blanks to use infusible ink which is totally not true

      @@kellyhayes take it out the box and try alternate software. Inkscape (I find confusing) is free, SCAL 5 is good and Silhouette Studio (need to purchase business edition to save as svgs to use with DS -there is a coupon) is great software. I’ve just started using it and I just save as an svg then import to DS and basically use it to cut as my Maker cuts beautifully so win win 😄 Take it out the box and play 🤞🤞

      I was so upset since I bought my Maker 3 months ago. But I can live without these new features. I can see if I was more of a professional needing bigger printing space that would be beneficial, but other than that, I agree, faster is not going to make me have buyer remorse.

I can’t afford to sign up and pay for software or stock right now…also, are you able to create your own art?

    Boy am I glad I watched the entire video! I almost dug into my money jar to see if I had enough to buy the new one! but then you mentioned the faster cutting was for “smart material” only and it basically cut the same speed as the Maker on non smart materials! I don’t use Cricut materials so I guess no need to upgrade just yet from my original Maker, thank you for your videos. I always enjoy watching them!

    • @theredmaster_superbee
      @theredmaster_superbee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I saw a video where they put a generic vinyl ... with the smart material configuration and it cut it without problems ... it is just a publicity stunt to sell their expensive vinyl, I want to buy 3 because it cuts longer ... I need make patterns for textile design of clothing ... but I don't know if the program allows me to configure; smart material, 90 cm long ... and if you allow me to use the rotary blade.

    Thank you, you explained this so well. Believe it or not, this is the 3rd video I watched on the Maker 3 and you were the only one that said the faster cutting speed only worked if you were using smart material. The others only said that it cut faster so I thought everything was cut faster. Great information!!

    What?? 3 I didn't even know they had a new coming out! My husband just bought me a Circuit maker 😣. But, I do like the idea you don't have to use a mat or cricket marker 3. That's a plus.👏 But, the cutting time.. I did count the seconds and it was only 1mint and 30 seconds faster than cricket maker. 🤔 I don't think I have the need want to upgraded for now, for just 1mints 30sec faster. I think I could wait . Lol

      Don't be disappointed in your purchase. The one you have is a great machine and really not all that different. Unless you want to do really long narrow cuts of up to 20 feet in a continuous amount the machines are not much different. For those who have an Air 2 it will be a big upgrade as they cut even slower than the Maker, but the Air 3 still only cuts 100 materials while both Maker and Maker 3 can cut up to 300 materials, but ONLY the smart vinyl is mat free. everything else including sticker paper, card stock, fabric and all the other 298 materials need a mat.

I am going to re-watch this and take notes. I know you can cut wood but I have no idea of the type and thickness. I need a manual that explains all the features and what they can do.

    First, love Angie. She’s super smart and explains everything so well. I got the explorer air2 and for the 5 months I had it, I was so frustrated. I had to use a deep cut blade to get maybe half of the cuts come out good, never perfect. I thought it was me. You can imagine how much material I wasted and purchased. I did go and get a Maker 3 because I wanted to do the different things it did. And holy crap, it’s awesome. Problem for me, I couldn’t sell the explorer, I wouldn’t do that to anyone, so I wasted so much $. What makes me a little happy is when I purchase non Cricut brand materials 😏

Would love to have an updated maker, although the most significant differences between the 2 makers are the smart materials (ie using without a mat) and also a faster cutting time.

A real added benefit would have been if it would have done the same with all materials.

Also, I ran out and bought the Joy because I thought the smart material would be a bonus, but alas, I don't ever use my Joy unless I want to make a quick card! So much money wasted!

I will not get the new Cricut Maker 3 until all the bugs it's just like not buying a new car model until the car company figure out all the bugs.

    I make large wood signs for a living and I use a silhouette cameo 4 for that because I can cut stencil vinyl I buy off of Amazon that’s a fraction of the cost and I can cut without a mat. I wish Cricut would have came up with a machine that did what silhouette cameo 4 does with using your own materials. Cricut is being greedy with having everyone need to use the smart vinyl. Costs too much. Great video explaining everything though. I’ll stick to my silhouette cameo 4 for my business

    Thanks for the video, but what a pleasant disappointment the Maker 3 is. I purchased my maker earlier this year and was worried that I should have waited for the maker 3. Please correct me if I’m wrong, even with the smart material, I can’t cut anything wider than I can cut now with my maker (eg material is 13 inches wide but still cuts within the 12 inch parameter) - just longer, but what a waste of smart material to not be able to take advantage of the extra inches in width gained from not needing a mat. No extra speed when cutting with the regular materials...I agree with many other comments, the better effort would be in upgrading Design space and expanding the size limits for print then cut, etc!

    Do you think that Cricut will improve on the mug press? Like make a newer one with different capacity?

      Yes!!!! Now, THAT would have been an announcement that got my attention! I’m waiting for them to release a mug/tumbler press that can accommodate more than a coffee mug...I feel like Cricut rushed a prototype to market just to test the waters...ummmm, yes, Cricut, there is interest...now give us the good Press! 😁

      Not that I know of but I am not aware of these things until right before launch.

      You can do more than coffee mugs. See what I have been able to do here: th-cam.com/video/Vx-o3Kht5_Q/w-d-xo.html

      @@AngieHolden I’ve watched this video already, and, don’t you have to turn the taller items upside down to sublimate the top portion? :(

      Correct. I do that.

    Hello Angie, great presentation as always, BUT as with every one else a LARGER PRINT AND CUT SIZE is what is needed!!!
