Since my daughter is “borrowing ” my Cricut, (and has been borrowing for most of the year) I am thinking about getting the Maker. (And keeping it a secret from her).
I opted for the Maker 3, even though it was way more expensive. I do love the machine but I was mildly disappointed that they included no mat whatsoever. Almost understandable since it can cut without a mat. The lack of the cutting wheel, that is included with the less expensive maker, has me livid! Cricut is showing their greed again. The mats and cutting wheels are expensive for the consumer. Not nearly as expensive for Cricut. They are cheaping out to the tune of $100 for the end user. It probably cost them less than $20 for the mats and cutter. Add to that is the fact the Maker 3 is a couple hundred more than the Maker, makes this offensive. Cricut wont respond to any messages either. Pure greed from Cricut.
I'm trying to get my boys to get me the Cricut Maker 3 for my Birthday next month. Every time I pass one in the stores I tell them that is what I want for my Birthday.
I BOUGHT THE CRICUT JOY WHEN IT CAME OUT WITH MY OWN MONEY. Trust me smart material isn’t all that smart. It is not what Cricut makes it out to be! I think the material is too thick on that backing and weeding and transferring my designs to my product isn’t as simple as it is with and regular vinyl and htv. I cut my Oracle to 5.5 and told my Cricut Joy it was smart vinyl and it did the same thing as my smart material, it cut it perfectly… I’m buying the original Maker. Cricut is starting to remind me of Apple and they are pissing me off. These companies need to stop trying to manipulate us customers! After all of my research and watching reviewers who received free machines and those that have not I have concluded the original maker would be a better buy! One thing, I would like to give credit to the honesty of Tanner -Makers Gonna Learn- when it comes to the reality of the extra money that needs to be spent on top of purchasing the CM3.
Cricut has been doing this stuff since they started. Six months after releasing the original machine they then released the expression! Then they released other colours! The price of the cartridges were astronomical here in Australia! The cricut maker 3 is currently $640 on special at Spotlight (our big craft and home shop), the maker is $494 and the air 3 is $450. The extra cutting blades are very expensive here too! I have the explore one with no wireless so have to source a dongle thing for it. More expense! I stopped buying Cricut machines because it was 6 months later that they released the Explore Air! That really pissed me off! I know they are a company but really they need to look after their customers because the more they do the more they will be loyal. Its just common sense!
Watching a lot of reviews (both from people who bought the machines themselves, and others who were sent them by Cricut), there is a large discrepancy. People who were supplied the machines are much more positive about the small changes, and the people who bought the machines to test were not at all positive. The consensus is that these machines are not that much of an upgrade unless you are going to be cutting larger vinyl projects. The "smart" materials are basically wider materials with a thicker backing. Matless cutting is something that other brands have had for a few years if not more. I think these two machines are a missed opportunity on much larger innovations. I really wish that Cricut machines had better functionality to detect what is on the mat to avoid waste.
I've been looking at a bunch of machines too. It's like Apple vs android. Idk what to get, I was looking into a brother scan and cut. Only because I can scan my own art work and cut it like I want. Idk if I can do that with a cricut. I'm still doing more research before making a definite purchase. I feel like it's attractive and that's wht draws people to it rather than other machines. Idk though I'm new to all of this too lol
@@francesrchast7659 I use regular vinyl on a mat and it works well. I tried customizing materials and you can't customize anything with the large blade housing.
I’m forced to wait this one out, Tanner. I was leaning towards the Maker 3 but realistically speaking, I didn’t see myself cutting more than the standard cardstock, poster boards and such materials. I’ve had the Maker for years and not once have I used my rotary blade (still haven’t started my quilting projects 🤫). I’m more interested in the “new” pressure. I was making boxes and my Maker recently would not score kraft board or poster board deep enough even after adjusting to more pressure AND using the #2 scoring tip! I can’t see myself buying the Maker 3 with hopes that Cricut will come out with more 13” materials. Most of the materials that I’ve cut in the past 4 years could’ve been cut on my Explore Air 2 but I love the pressure and capabilities of the Maker. With all that being said, if the Air 3 has more pressure than the original Maker, that’s where I’ll be investing my coins. I’ll continue to use my Maker for the adaptive tools seeing as how I don’t cut anything larger than 12” with them anyway. Thanks for these videos! 🤓
I have the maker and it just stop cutting all my materials all the way through. I have to cut at least three times for card stock and I’ve changed the blades three times
I thought the whole purpose of the maker was that this was going to be the ultimate machine and they were going to be making all these add on to purchase for the maker I am kinda disappointed that now they have another machine instead of adding more for those of us who already bought the maker??
Thank you . You helped me make my decision. I was sold when you told me the maker is heavier and may have an improved motor. On the flip side...the mfg could have just thrown some weights in it to fool guys like me. Anyway great video and very informative, clear and precise.
I have the cricut explore air 2 and I love it. I really want to upgrade it to the original maker. Because I really like the engraving tool. I don’t know if I would use the rest of the tools on the maker. But I also really like the new explore 3 Machine because I like that you can do bigger projects and I just like the explore in general but I always wanted a maker. but I always here good and bad about the maker and Always good stuff on the explore. I always hear explore is a better Machines. I use my cricut daily. So I just want someone opinion on it. What machine should I upgrade to.
I bought the Cricut Explore 3 - 55% because I wanted the color to coordinate with my new heat press (LOL). I only need mine for vinyl. Thanks for the content! This video was extra confirmation of my well researched decision.
I have wanted to buy a Cricut for years but haven't because I'm so confused on which to buy. I thought this video would do that, but didn't. I understand why I should buy the Explore, but what is the difference with the Maker? What does Maker do that the Explore doesn't.
I am also seeking those answers! I bought the explore 2. Twice. Had to return it twice because both machines ended up being defective. Its been so much aggravation. Now that I have returned the explore 2 for the second time, looking to get a different model. This is what I know about The maker 3 vs the Explore 3: -Maker 3 cuts 300 types of materials vs explore 3 cuts 100 types of materials -Maker 3 can use 13 types of tools (for cutting, writing, scoring & other pro-level effects) vs Explore 3 can use only 6 types of tools/capabilities (e.g. you cannot engrave metal on the explore but you can on the maker) -The maker 3 is a professional level machine, the explore 3 is more for hobby/DIY projects.
The biggest difference is the type if materials it can cut. The Explorer can cut 100 types where the Maker can cut 300 typed including some woods and fabrics.
I just love you.Thanks for explaining all this details.I want to start my own business and also to make all this beautiful things for my baby boy.Thank you soo soo much.Kisses from Italy.Good blased you.
Oh heck, my head hurts!!!! I have never owned a Cricut machine but have been looking at them for a while now, and more confused then ever 😥 although it should be simple enough, as I would really only use the machine for cutting fabric say for quilting or cushions etc etc so mainly cottons. I might do the odd christmas card or a label or two for jars
I want one of these makers in the worst way but its so annoying that circut still makes the buyer purchase even more after buying the most expensive item. Thank You Tanner for explaining all the differences, greatly appreciate it. Question: Must a subscription be purchased in order to use these?
I have a cricut joy and that has the foiling tool, my question is does the explorer have a foiling tool it's something I do use but would like to do bigger projects.
I have no idea which machine to buy for cutting vinyl, mylar, and cardstock. I was looking at the explore three, as it is the cheaper of the two. Although, the marker three is on sale currently. And it is supposed to have stronger cutting power. But I have heard some bad reviews about the maker...
Love the video! Thank you very much for all informations. I have a question.. what about the maker 3 vs maker? Can you tell some of the big differences? I was able to find the maker almost half of the price of maker 3! Thank you!
Still trying to decide on which Cricut. I will be a complete beginner. There are lots of things I want to try, but I specifically want to create stencils for my furniture and crafts. Is one better(easier) than that?
I have a regular maker, i want to know if i upgrade to the explorer 3 can i use all my vinyl, infuseable ink, foil paper and heat transfer vinyl? will i be able to use it on the explorer 3?
I just *returned* my second Cricut explore 2... the second defective machine. So many problems with it. So far I am not having a good time with the cricut but I can see its potential. I just need a machine that actually completes a cut without ceasing up mid cut. Every time. Perhaps the explore 2 was not the best model to go with. Looking at getting either the Cameo, or the Cricut maker 3 or the explore 3. HMMM.... decisions decisions.
I’m planning my first purchase and still don’t know which I should go with. I think FOMO is an impact and I don’t know how far my creative journey is going to go.
I just ordered the cricut explorer 3 but i really would like to possible engrave some things at some point but thats about all. Do you think its worth it to cancel my order and re order the cricut maker 3? Just for the engraving feature.
Unfortunately, that engraving tool is only for the Cricut Maker and its Adaptive Tool System. If that is what you want to mostly create, you will need the Maker or the Maker 3.
HELP!! I have the original Cricut! Yup the one with the cartridges that are no longer available.... Which Cricut should I get? I have a project I need to do ASAP that involves making golf balls. There is NO golf ball paper available in stores. I need one that will do this. I have been working outside my home for the past 10 years and not had time to "craft" am now home and looking forward to crafting more. I can't see splurging for the Cricut Maker 3. Most of my work will involve paper & at best some and possibly iron on... HELP!!
I'm wanting to get the maker 3. I have the explorer air 2. Would like to wait to see if they come out with more colors. I'm really wanting to make a business out of crafting with cricut. Do you have videos on using cricut as a business?
I already have a maker and am happy with it and what it can do. The only thing of the new machines that I could use is the fact that you can make larger cuts due to the sensor. Would it be ok to get the explore 3 for that or should I stick with the maker 3 (large cuts would probably only be vinyls)🤔
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you for replying. I do need the upgrade (especially gowns etc need longer pieces) but my debate point is will the explore 3 be enough if it’s only vinyl or is it better to go for the maker 3.
HELP HELP HELP So, I hadn’t used my Pen & Cut. I decided to try today, it worked as I had planned. Mind you I was just testing the road. Now, ugh 😩 I can’t get it to go back to just the cutting part. The cutting part ONLY. It keeps automatically setting it self to pen & cut. And of course it goes to print and cut. I went back to the beginning and reloaded and it cut the test fine. I thought it was taking care of but Noooooooooooooo. HELO HELP HELP
Why would you invest in an Explorer 3 after getting a Maker 3? The Maker 3 does everything an more than the Explorer 3, but not vice versa! Unless, of course you just need an additional machine.
I’m still torn between these two. I don’t have a desktop/laptop. Only a tablet and my phone. Will either of these work with Bluetooth or just the Explore 3 ?
Tanner I am planning on getting a new cricut. The one I have is circut expression . Its old like me. I was hoping my old cricut would update to be able to use it with computer.. I have not found a way to do that.. Its running 2.34version. I am thinking about the explorer 3. I am on fixed income an money is a issue. My old cricut has 13 cartridges and has only been used about 4 times. Then I had accident with head injury and did not craft for about 20 years so its like new. I am sure my dinosaur 🦕 cricut will not bring in much money. Is there a place to go to ask questions? I have so many questions. Thank you so much I am learning all over again. I appreciate your channel. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙

I've never had a cricut at all! Trying to decide what I want,and what I can afford. What I am going to use it for, etc.

-The maker 3 is a professional level machine, the explore 3 is more for hobby/DIY projects.
My understanding is that the maker allows you to cut thicker material, like balsa wood. So it really depends on what projects you want to make!
The biggest difference is the type if materials it can cut. The Explorer can cut 100 types where the Maker can cut 300 typed including some woods and fabrics.

How are they on cutting fine details without lifting the vinyl or missing on the cut?
If I had to do over again would buy Brother Scan and Cut......Cricut does not cut a full size sheet of paper making it a wasteful.
I believe the Maker 3 does.

My old cricut has 13 cartridges and has only been used about 4 times. Then I had accident with head injury and did not craft for about 20 years so its like new. I am sure my dinosaur 🦕 cricut will not bring in much money. Is there a place to go to ask questions? I have so many questions. Thank you so much I am learning all over again. I appreciate your channel. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
I wouldn’t get either
We understand that!
Yea, I'm leaning towards just keeping my air 2
I really want the maker 3
If you can get it, it's a fun machine!
Great, thanks.
Me too lol
The maker 3 I think 🤔
I don't know which one to buy I want to get one more merch business
tryed to make it and couldn't sign end. Love what I got in on. I like my maker now
So glad you like your machine!
Hi Tanner! Are the blades interchangeable from say the air 2 to the maker 3?
All of the blades used in the Air 2 are compatible with the Maker 3, yes.
I can’t sign in to my account. My email address is not working for me to receive the “password” reset code.
Also I can’t use the “We R Memory Keepers” heat foil pen because the USB port is too small. Does anyone Have any suggestions?

Sounds pretty “addictive” … never ending consumables….
I just bought an explorer 3 can I use the same blades from my explorer 1
I used the same from my One to my Air 2 so I would think yes
Yes you can, Heather is correct!
Yes!
