Q - How is the Cricut Maker 3 different from the Cricut Explore 3?

The Explore 3 is ideal for crafters who wish to make their papercraft projects more intricate, as well as for creating personalised vinyl and iron-on designs. The Cricut Maker 3 comes with an additional rotary blade for working with fabric, as well as for working with heavier and thicker materials. The Maker 3 features all of the functionality of the Explore 3, with a more powerful cutting system.

Q - When will I need to replace the blades?

Blade replacement depends on how much you use your Cricut machine and which materials you choose. They are designed to last well, but replacement blades are easily available for when you do require a new one. To get the most out of your blades, ensure you use the correct blade, housing and machine settings for your material. All blades require a specific housing, colour coded for easy pairing. If you already have the correct housing for your blade and are simply replacing the blade, you will only need to replace the blade itself. If you are purchasing a new blade, you will need to buy the matching housing. This excludes the Quickswap range, which is interchangeable.

Q - What materials can I cut with this machine?

The Cricut Explore 3 cuts a wide range of materials, provided it is less than 2mm thick. This includes paper, vinyl, iron-on, cardstock, fabric, poster board, foil, burlap, canvas, sticker paper, craft foam, cork, duct tape sheets, thin faux leather, felt, flat cardboard, light chipboard, glitter paper, parchment paper, washi sheets, wrapping paper, wax paper, vellum and window cling.

Q - What is Design Space and how much does it cost to use?

Design Space is free to use for your own designs. You can also access a selection of free designs in the library. For unlimited use of the Cricut library on Design Space, there is a subscription for £7.49 a month. You can also purchase per image if you wish to access a particular design.

Q - Which Cricut machine is best for making personalised t-shirts?

If you wish to create iron-on transfers to customise your t-shirts with motifs and more, both the Cricut Explore 3 and the Cricut Maker 3 will achieve incredible results. If you wish to design personalised t-shirts with applique fabric details, use the Maker to cut designs into fabrics including cotton, fleece, denim, heavy leather and more.

Q - Can I use my Cricut cartridges with these machines?

Yes, the cartridges can be used with all Cricut machines. You can still use the content of the physical cartridges through Design Space. It's easy to link your account through Design Space using your Explore machine or a cartridge adapter. Click to view step-by-step instructions.
