Cricut explore air 2 not cutting right

  • There seems to be a wobble (back and forth movement) with clamp B that is cutting some parts of the paper, iron on and glitter card stock. I have tried changing the blade, tried using the deep cut blade/housing, a new mat and using the appropriate setting on the machine for the materials I am using. Nothing has help. It’s time consuming, labor intensive and frustrating having to go back and try to cut the image out with a razor blade by hand. It started to do this in September this year. So I’ve had the machine for about a year with no other issues with any materials (perm vinyl, glitter vinyl, card stock, and iron on)

    I have the same issue, carefully with a long thin Phillips screw driver undo the screws on the back of the silver housing. Take of the cover and you’ll see the clamp b wobbling forwards and backwards. Gently push the clamp all the way down and you’ll see the metal tube at the back slide back up. Put the cover back on and it’s cuts perfectly again. (Please note, you take the housing off at your own risk - contact Cricut if you need support) I hope this helps us all😊

    So many others having the same issue, machine stopped cutting months ago. I purchased all new blades, housings, mats, etc.. nothing gets the machine to cut through any material. I’ve spent many many hours trying to troubleshoot , from adjusting material settings, pressure, changing devices, clearing cache, browsing history, reinstalling software, etc. I’ve come to the conclusion that cricut, during one of their updates, made a big mistake that can’t be reversed, and is now affecting a lot of machines. I say this because I have the cricut explore air 2 purchased 2019, and the maker purchased January 2021. Both machines using different computers, stopped cutting exactly the same day. All happened after an update to their software, I believe around the time they added the feature which allows you to cut in larger sizes.

      YEP! Same here. Mine cuts, but cuts 3-6mm off & overlaps other cuts. Tried everything i could find to do, wasted so much material out of the Maker 3 bundle i bought & after 5 cuts, it screwed up.
      For some of us, it's our livelihood. I put a ton of money into a biz i cant open now. & i totally regret not buying another brand.. they really need to step up & not let the customers take this big hit, & it feels like they are & that's just SO WRONG.
      Take care of your customers, Cricut!! 😤

    Good day! How to solve the wiggle movement of blade casing for letter B. First, you need to remove the cover of Cricut in the blade casing part by unscrewing 2 small screws, Second, you need o to remove the screw for letter A before releasing the letter B casing. Third, at the back of the letter B casing, there's a metal tube you need to align at the original position because once the Cricut machine is used for a long period of time the metal tube will go down then you need to realign it. (note:) be careful in disassembling Cricut parts. I notice that's the problem with my Cricut in the blade casing area.

    So I was trying so hard to cut just simple vinyls. Semi permanent and permanent. What I found to help me was I had to increase my blade pressure. So once I’ve done that to word be cutting a little deeper I was actually able to weed it out for the first time I am very new to this I just got mine like a week ago and I was so upset I couldn’t cut anything so I was thinking I should’ve bought the maker. But I’m a single momma and money is an issue. So for anybody who is struggling like I was try to increase the blood pressure I have found a lady who showed you how to do it you go under your machine settings I cannot remember her name though on RUclips and for my vinyl I had to use a green mat. Anyways. I hope this helps somebody. I know it sure helped me to do it.

    MY SOLUTION - I use cardstock for my business projects. After a recent update, my fairly new Explore Air 2 (purchased in September 2020) starting "half cutting" my images - it cuts on one side and "scores" on the other even though I am not using the "scoring" stylus or setting. When I noticed this, I uploaded a circle for cutting and one-half of it was cut; so I decided to experiment after several unsuccessful incomplete cuts: I kept the half-cut circle loaded in my machine, canceled the cut, went back and selected "flip" on the canvas - then "Make It". It cut completely through on the opposite side of the circle that was uncut/scored. SOLUTION: So, since it appears to be a software issue because the machine cuts, I decided to make up a custom setting (I named it "Cardstock+ Custom") that allows me to set the highest pressure at 350, multi-cut at 4 (I had tried multi-cuts 2, 3 and higher; after several tests 4 was what worked for me) and saved it. Leaving the dial on Custom allows you the opportunity to pick your own cut and then to change the blade pressure from Default each time you select "Make It" - I changed mine to More pressure. It solved my issue - I now get fully clean-cut images. Because of the 4 multi-cuts it takes a few minutes longer, but I am satisfied. I don't know if this will work with other materials, but it's worth a try - experiment with the multi-cuts that will allow you to cut all the way through when you create your custom setting using 350 as the highest pressure. Here's the Cricut link for making your own custom setting: help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009383274-How-do-I-use-or-create-a-Custom-material-setting --- I hope this can help someone. Let me know if this works, especially if you are using other than cardstock - I am curious. For me, it's a temporary fix to keep my business on the move until Cricut figures out what is making this happen to their machines.

      My machine is only a few months old and I haven’t use it that much and it quit cutting already and I have tried everything and it’s just ruining everything I try and wasting all my money and time, so does anybody have any ideas of what to do and where to go and who to talk to etc. because I am VERY upset and I paid a lot for my machine and didn’t get any Sale prices!

    I see that it is not cutting you have changed the cutting blade and also tried the deep cut. I see that others are have the same issues I think what may be happening is that after a year the belt is stretched and the tension needs to be adjusted. I had a belt break and looking at it it appears to be just rubber without any support material (steel or fibre). I do not know if you have attempted to have it do a recut before ejecting (one has to hit the cricut button again and it will recut following the same lines but if you eject it will not follow the lines). If after doing the second cut and it works then I would look at belt adjustment. To adjust my belt I found that I only had about 1/4 inch play in the belt under very light pull pressure (not fiddle string tight). You can do a search on RUclips for how to change belt on the machine and see how it is done. Let me know how it works for you. Good luck everyone.

    Mine is brand new it did not cut the test card stock all the way through. Tonight I used Cricut vinyl it didn’t cut it through. It was white so I couldn’t see it good. I then got a red and adjusted pressure from 174 to 180 still didn’t cut through then went up to 184 and cut through same vinyl. It’s following the same lines but won’t cut thru ! I’m so mad! I’m turning up to 350! As someone else did. The head on mine seems to run smooth and correct but I mean how much pressure is it gonna take ?! And I can’t believe these come with 0 instructions and chat dude said there should be. Not ! Then he said he was going to find something for me and never returned. I’m wondering if we’re getting refurbished machines? I’m going to 350 wish me luck

    I just got a Cricut Explore 3 about a week ago. It worked fine when cutting the vinyl. I was so excited to cut letters on card stock for bulletin boards, and it did not cut through. This is my first Cricut. Should the blade dull that fast, after 3 projects?

    • @21karis
      @21karis  3 года назад +1

      No it shouldn’t dull that quickly. I’ve done numerous projects with the same blade (card stock, vinyl, window cling, paper, sticker paper) If you use heavier duty materials like glitter paper or glitter vinyl but even with that the blade would last more than 3 projects.

      I called Cricut customer service, and someone really nice answered and she was helping me trying to get it fixed, but nothing really worked, and she told me that they were going to cover all of the material that I had wasted and send me a brand new blade to see if it was that, but then considering my bad luck the call hung up because of my service 🤯, so then I called again and someone else answered (wasn't as nice) and basically told me to just buy a new Cricut 😒, but at least she gave me a $20 credit on Cricut, which I'm using to buy a new blade with housing and hopefully see if that's the issue

I changed the knife, the vinyl so than later I would realize that only the fonts and images downloaded cut the knife badly, instead the fonts in the system cut very well so I realized that neither the knife nor the materials were to blame at least in my case . I hope it helps someone not to lose the nights I lost discovering this. by the way I am from Romania Hi to ALL!

Tried doing my first project, a b-day card, and it doesn’t cut all the way 😤😠😡🤬 I will NOT accept this. I’m calling them tomorrow and demanding a new machine. Screw that, I got tired of getting ripped off by retail companies a few years back. Like I say “they have way more money than I do, so they can’t keep mine, I want only what I paid, sometimes over-paid, for. Usually it’s not a problem. Sorry for the rant. Good luck everyone.
