Because the cutting settings are done online, the machine will essentially keep updating with the new materials as they are added by the Cricut engineers. Oh, and coming soon with the introduction of the knife blade, the Cricut Maker will be able to cut right through balsa wood too! A whole world of possibilities! I'm thinking custom photo puzzles for holiday gifts - and the ideas will keep growing, I'm sure!īut it's not just fabric and wood that have been added to the Cricut Maker's abilities - in total, there are nearly 300 custom cutting settings available with the Cricut Maker, and more are on the way.

You can just stick your fabric right to the cutting mat, and send it through the machine for precision cuts and perfectly matched pieces - so cool! And fabric includes leather. Just like the Explore Air 2, you can cut paper and vinyl, iron-ons and poster board. Yep, that's right - hundreds of materials. But the Maker cuts hundreds and hundreds of materials - way too much for a dial! So now, the computer tells the machine what you're cutting! There are also some cosmetic and practical changes - the Cricut Maker features gorgeous detailing all around! The storage in the door and interior lid feature lovely diamond shading and the storage bins have rubber bases, to keep your blades shape and safe.Īnd you might have noticed there's no dial!

It's a little bit heavier, but with a place on my workbench, I'm not too worried about moving it around. the Cricut Maker! The Cricut Maker is similar to the Explore Air 2 - same general shape, and pretty much the same size. I've always loved paper-crafting, and when vinyl crafting came on the scene I was intrigued! I hooked up with Cricut to try the Explore Air, and loved it - and quickly upgraded to the Explore Air 2, which cut even faster and better.īut now I've got the big boy. Here's what I found!ĭisclaimer: This post includes affiliate links and was sponsored by Cricut all opinions are my own. I was so lucky to get to attend the Cricut Mountain Makeathon earlier this year, and see the official debut of the Cricut Maker! Now that it's arrived and I have had a chance to play, I've put together a comparison of the Maker and my previous machine, the Cricut Explore Air 2.
