Can u please do a video on the basic things you need to buy when you first purchase the cricut maker 3 I don't know anything and don't want to buy every single peace just yet if I don't need to
Appreciate your video/information. I bought my 11yo for Christmas (she wants to start a business). So our Maker, that came with the knife blade. We purchased the fine point tip, but without the housing, Michael's didn't have any in stock. I was told that the knife blade housing does fit the fine point. I have yet to try. I am trying to decipher which blades to get, so watching this video has helped me choose Cheers and Thank-you.
OMG I got a Maker 3 and I was so annoyed because they did not include a manual telling about the features. I had no idea about all these blades. I am gonna check out your other videos. You did a great job! 👏🤗
I bought my first cricut machine after I found out how much easier working the Joy worked. (Which I did but first. ) I just got The Maker yesterday. I was surprised at how many tools it could use. I would complain about the price. But, 1I have noticed how nice the quality of each wheel/blade/engraving tips are. My hope is they won't need replacing as much as the other machine I have which name I won't mention.
Thanks for explaining things about the different blades. I recently bought the engraver blade and I'm looking forward to getting other blades for the different crafts that I do with the maker.
It is a nice video but why didn't you show what each blade actualy does? I want to buy myself an cricut machine but I'm still not sure which one and this helps somewhat but until I actualy see what all these blades can do I can not determen if it is good for me. But your explanation is very clear tho 👍
I just bought a Cricut and have no idea what I'm doing. This video was really helpful! Thank you! I'm hoping to learn how to cut fabric with mine so I'm off to find your tutorial on the rotary blade. Thanks again! :D
Becky. What is the Rotary Blade kit that you hafta buy separate from the Rotary Blade and housing?The Rotary Blade and Housing is $49.99 then The kit is another $17.00..Do I need that extra? kit
I just bought some blades. I see in the Knife blade + drive housing instructions that the blade is removable. I followed the instructions but it was not falling out, maybe i was doing something wrong. I saw a previous video about it but i can't seem to remove it but that person did... I'm afraid to mess it up or accidently cut myself. Do you have a video removing that type of blade with drive housing??
Hi Tracy! Is it a Cricut brand blade? You should be able to pull it out easily by pushing down on the top part. We also recommend putting the plastic cap on before you remove so you won't get cut in the process! - Dawn
Hi Jan! Our apologies but that container isn't available any longer. Our apologies for the delay in response and we hope you've found the answer but if you are still having any troubles, please feel free to write in to mail@designbundles.net or join us in a live chat so we can help with your next project! - Dawn 🙂
Hi there! The Cricut machines can cut a variety of designs as long as the file type is compatible with the Design Scape program. Typically, for cutting vinyl an SVG file would be used but if you are completing a "Print and Cut" project it would be a PNG file. - Dawn😊
Last video about the connecting too the cricut from Canva made me hurt only cause you went from connecting to signing up but I’m curious of this one 😂 tequila hittin. 🤣 let’s get this Smoney. 😊
Nice tutorial. I'm looking forward to your tutorial on the engraving tool. Most (if not all) the videos I've watched just left me confused. I'm really bad with placement on the mat, so this is what I'm hoping to learn, thanks.
If the storage container pops open, could you take the protective cover off the blade, hang the housing through the slot, then put the protective cover back on the blade and close the container? You’d have to do all the steps in reverse to get it out and use it, but at least the protective cover could be used.
That's what I did with the knife blade. I don't have the cover on my rotary blade so I think maybe that one can't be put on while it's hanging in the case. I left the covers on my wavy and perf tips. They fit in the bottom with their plastic covers on.
It usually depends on what kind of crafts you do. If you're into paper crafts or making t-shirts with htv vinyl, you're better off with the cricut explorer; if you're into cutting fabric for sewing, cutting leather and so on, you're better off with the cricut. The explorer, cuts 100's of material, where the maker cuts a lot more material and it has more adaptive tools to work with the machine t han the explorer. Hopefully this answers your question.
Hey Sharon, there are definitely a lot of factors to consider. I have a comparison video if you'd like to check it out. Hope this helps! ---Becky th-cam.com/video/6htrE4umryY/w-d-xo.html
I guess I did Roshawn, I didn't even realize it, I grabbed it from Amazon. I'm not sure if you can buy just the quick-swap housing, I think you have to purchase a tool that comes with it. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I just got a cricut machine & have tried MANY times to get it to work but I just don’t know what the heck I’m doing, even when I’ve watched beginner Cricut machine tutorials!!! I’m SOOO lost!! My bf spent literally hundreds & hundreds of dollars on everything I’d need/want for my Cricut including all different types of expensive vinyl papers & the tools etc. idk what to do!! I know he’s really upset he went through so much money/effort/time/thought into trying to make me happy buying me this stuff. But I can’t even use it & it’s just collecting dust! I got absolutely everything for it, hell he even got me not one BUT TWO Cricut EasyPress 2 machines as well as a Cricut Explore Air 2! But I’m so so lost. Can ANYBODY please try to help me
Hi there! Would you mind emailing mail@designbundles.net? The support team can help walk you through the process of using the files and setting up your machine 😊
I want to see the machines cut foam board from the dollar store. Foam core board not that soft foam that comes in little squares to run your petal press on. I just got the cricket maker 3 & the thing i want to cut up the most, it seems, I cannot. I mean, that's okay, I suppose. I can always use chipboard, I guess. I mean, I haven't. But I can.🤣 I want/need to learn how to use all of it as it is my 1st machine and i struggle with uncertainty on all of it. But I primarily want squares that I can adhere together later or use hinges or something. I want to make boxes. Well, sort of. But that's the foundation of my idea. However, I just accidentally pulled the top 3 shelves down over my secretary and broke that, too. So now my little ass bedroom/craft room looks like a damned tornado hit it (thankfully we're in the middle of a bathroom remodel so no one has noticed yet that I dragged half of what I own across the loving room😂🤣) but then on to learning which tool for which job and how
I just got a Maker 3 and set it up yesterday. Mine didn't come with any adaptive tools or quick swap housing. It only came with the same fine point blade and housing that my Explore Air has.

I loved the video,straight to the point however I'm still a little confused as to which one is for vinyl 😅
You can use the premium fine point blade for vinyl.
@@DesignBundles does it come w that one?!?
Does the rotary blade have to be replaced
Yes, eventually when it gets dull it needs to be replaced...
My maker 3 didn’t come with the rotary blade! Should I contact cricut?
Your maker should come with a rotary blade, I would contact them, yes.
Is there a play list for the series? I cannot seem to find the videos.
You can find all of our videos here - th-cam.com/users/DesignBundlesvideos
@@DesignBundles thank you, I could not find the 8 part series on the blades. Which are the ones in the 8 part series on the different blades?
Great video Thank you, Can you please put the link for the container?

Thank you for watching!
You are a great instructor, thanks for teaching us how to use our Cricut!
What about making stencils, iron on and making name place cards
Can this cut any design in paper? Does it have to be drawn on a pc ?

Is the engrave tip usable on the Rotary blade quick gear that was included with machine?
Hey Heather, unfortunately not. The rotary blade isn't one of the quick swap housing units. Hope this helps! ---Becky
The struggle was real for me too opening the blister packs!😂😂
Nice tutorial. I'm looking forward to your tutorial on the engraving tool. Most (if not all) the videos I've watched just left me confused. I'm really bad with placement on the mat, so this is what I'm hoping to learn, thanks.

You’d have to do all the steps in reverse to get it out and use it, but at least the protective cover could be used.
I was thinking the same thing.
That is how I do it.
That's what I did with the knife blade. I don't have the cover on my rotary blade so I think maybe that one can't be put on while it's hanging in the case. I left the covers on my wavy and perf tips. They fit in the bottom with their plastic covers on.
0:21 - Dang! Did you hit the lottery? All those new Cricut accessories at once - you gotta be awful rich! hehe
They are definitely pricey! I have the perfect excuse for splurging though, so that I can keep bringing you guys great videos 😂 ---Becky
Fantastic.
Thank you! - Agata
Does the rotary blade does not come with a quick swap option?
Hey Maria, it does not. Hope this helps! ---Becky
What is the better Cricut machine
It usually depends on what kind of crafts you do.

I believe there’s 1more blade that wasn’t mentioned: a deep blade. Its casing is black. Could you clarify? Thank you.
Hey Diane! There is definitely a deep cut blade, it's just not specifically a Maker specialty blade so I didn't add it here. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I see u got a non brand knife blade where and could I just buy quick swipe housing and just put engraving tip on
Meant swap 😂
I guess I did Roshawn, I didn't even realize it, I grabbed it from Amazon. I'm not sure if you can buy just the quick-swap housing, I think you have to purchase a tool that comes with it. Hope this helps! ---Becky
It does not come with the new maker 3 machine, the only blade that comes with it is the fine point blade
Many questions of mine clarified, thank you!!!

The Maker 3 doesn't come with a rotary blade it actually really annoyed me because I had to spend another 50€ to buy it -.-

Can’t you just buy the tips and use the one housing?
For the quick-swap housing tips, yes you can. The others (like the rotay blade) you will just purchase whole. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Mine only has a regular blade
same :(
I just got a Maker 3 and set it up yesterday. Mine didn't come with any adaptive tools or quick swap housing. It only came with the same fine point blade and housing that my Explore Air has.
Mine didn’t come with one 😢
I thinks with the new releases they stopped including them
Where can I find parts 2-8- the more in depth videos you mentioned?
