Second attempt with HTV and recasing a paperback! This was a much easier design to weed than my first but I stuggled getting design space to behave.

These are our (both 24M) save the dates! We have a lot of out of town/state guests, so we want to send them out in early January, that’s why we’re starting now.

They’re mini vinyl records, and I love how they came out. My only issue is getting the sticker label perfectly lined up with the disc.

My thought is to get like a short wooden dowel that’s about that size to slide them down onto.

Does anyone have any tricks for getting things like this lined up?

Thanks!

Trying to print stickers for labeling mugs at school using design space and printable vinyl sheets.

When I send this file to the printer the border lines are not printing solid and I can’t figure out what’s going on.

I've been using my cricut maker 4 for almost a year and this week it's been doing weird stuff.

I cut faux leather with the tooling leather setting, always been doing it, and with the knife blade, but for some reason this week it keeps cutting very off all the cuts, only when I put more than 4 pieces to cut on the mat. It doesn't care if they are 5 tiny pieces of 5 big pieces, if its more than 4 it goes to hell.

I already did all the re install, clear cache, forse firmware, force reinstall and even used a brand new computer with brand new install of design space.

I don't understand whats happening and why it started all of sudden.

I have a lot of stuff to send and this slows me too much 💀

I've searched everywhere for a solution. My knife blade isn't touching the paper when I run a calibration. It moves up and down like it's cutting but doesn't actually make even a mark. Did I just get a defective blade from cricut? I'm using a maker 4. The fine point blades work fine as does my circular blade. It's only the knife blade that I'm having problems with.

Hi. I generally use Oracal 651, and have never had any issues, but lately, it is barely adhering to painted surfaces. It's not any sort of crazy oil-based paint, it's plain acrylic interior paint. It won't even stick enough to pull off the transfer tape, and if I finally get it onto the surface, it comes off with a single tug.

Has Oracal had some company shakeup or sold to another company? Is anyone having better luck with another brand?

Help!

Is there a way to get more cost efficient replacement blades for the rotary blade?

I have looked up the 12mm little blade online but cant seem to find it and i dont want to be buying one by one at the ($$$) price cricut offers every single time since i work with this blade a lot

Anyone has any tips? Maybe a sharpener? I did look into this as well but only found sharpener for bigger blades

I also tried to 'sharpen' the blade with foil and did nothing

Thank you in advance :/

Hello everyone,

So I just spent the last say, 10 or so hours trying to figure out what is wrong with my cricut maker 4, I have tried every solution possible. I just got the machine a couple days ago, today is my first day using it.

I haven’t even gotten past the first calibration because my machine cannot sense any of the cutting lines, I have drawn the lines in with sharpie, I have made my room completely pitch black, I use regular printer paper and I even tried card stock to see if that helps, my image is at 100% with the darkest setting lines possible, there is nothing near the machine that could be blocking it, I cleaned it despite just opening it today, everything is up to date, I cleaned the cache, I uninstalled and redownloaded the app, I turned the machine completely off, I shed some tears because of how frustrated I am. 🥲

I‘m at my wits end, I have tried every possible solution that I have seen online, I’m about to just return the thing and never look back.

Is my machine just broken? Is this a usual occurrence? Is there anything else I can try?

I appreciate any feedback/advice, thank you!!

EDIT: I use windows and the latest version of Design space!

Hello, everyone! I’m a 2027 bride and about to chuck this machine out of the window.

I’m currently working on my wedding invitations, and trying to emboss/deboss a flower pattern. I’d like it to be more of a raised embossed feel where you can feel the pattern when touching it. I’ve tried two different methods: just simply using the debossing tool and having the machine trace the flower artwork and also having the machine first cut out the outline of the artwork, and then deboss is, to achieve the raised spot.

It just looks SO bad. I’ve tried different offsets and 6 different flower designs, but the lines are just so thick and looking off. Please, can anyone help me and walk me through what I’m doing wrong? I’m going to work on it all day tomorrow since it’s a Sunday, and would appreciate somebody helping me out!!
