    I upgraded to the Maker 3 from the Explorer Air 2. I got it as a bundle, so it was a really good deal, and I could try the smart materials right away. I also ordered the roller for it. It's an amazing machine, truly. It is so worth the price, even when it's not on sale.
    I was able to engrave a photograph onto acrylic and make a little light up photo.

    I legit got the Maker 3, as part of a Christmas gift from the hubby. NEVER picked up a single vinyl, never used a cricut in my life. BUT, I'm a quick study and I'm an artist so I figured I could manage. My first attempt for a project was a mess......lol. But pretty much everything since has been amazing. I also bought the Easy Press 2 and the Mug Press. Iron-ons came out amazing. Trying the mug press hopefully today. :)

  • @ShelleyDanielle
    @ShelleyDanielle 2 года назад +5

    I finally upgraded from my Cricut Explore Air 2 yesterday. My local Michaels had the Maker on sale for $349.99CAD (reg. 499). I debated waiting for boxing day sales for the Maker 3 to go on sale (black friday it dropped from 550CAD to 450CAD I think?) but after learning that the Maker 3 only cuts the smart materials faster (there are only 3) then the original maker, and without a mat, I went for the Maker. The no mat needed for those three are nice, but for me, not worth the huge extra cost if I'm not cutting them regularly. :)

    I'm very new to cricut and to your channel, I only ever heard of these a couple of days ago! Well yesterday I decided to make a purchase on one, I bought the cricut maker 3, it comes with a bunch of vinyl (2 gloss black, 3 gloss white, 1 gold gloss) 1 transfer tape, rose gold adhesive foil,5 sheets of fairytale adhesive foil, 3 sheets every day iron on, a whole bunch of pens (15 in total ), and because I was talking to someone that worked there about cricut for some time, they threw in 3 cutting mats (told me I don't really need them, but can have them anyway) and a basic tool kit free if charge. All for £400 ( $513?).. I'll put up an unboxing video of it when it turns up

    @craftylittlerthings 2 года назад +3

    Well I didn't have a choics, but I also didn't have to pay for my Cricut explore air 2!!! You see I have just last month win the machine, the tools, the mini iron, the iron mat, all sorts of vynal, loads of transfer tape. I'm in the Uk and I entered a competition in one of my craft magazines, I forgot all about it as it was a few months ago! When it arrived I was in shock, I also had to convince my husband that I didn't buy all of it lol. I was sorting things in my new craft place when I found the magazine, so shoved it under my hubbys nose!!! I think they would have sent me an email but with all those emails that arrive saying you have won it probably got deleated!! So all I need do is learn to use it. I have a craft silhouette, I bought it 8 years ago but through illness and moving house twice I had only used it twice, I found the software difficult to learn, so I'm hoping the Cricut software is a lot easier for my old brain!!!

  • @GirlArmy21
    @GirlArmy21 2 года назад +2

I think if I can make room for it, I would love to save up and get a Cricut Maker 3- I am especially loving that it might be quieter (actually the noise factor is one of the main reasons why I didn't get a Silhouette machine 😆). TFS!

    Thank you for a well done video. I just heard about the Maker 3 and saw that it cam cut materials up to 18 feet long. Is this true? That would be awesome for banners and (temporary) graphics for cars, trucks, trailers, etc.!
    While I am disgusting… I mean discussing, another tangent, we have had a Cricut Maker for a couple of years, but actually only use it every once in a while. It has been a few months since we used it last. When we attempted to make a new project last week, it would ONLY attempt a “print then cut” job AND it would not let us select the 12” x 12” size (standard mat size), so we were not able to do the work; which was needed right away. Could this be due to software updates?

I also had a coupon for 10$ off. So total with the free shipping was around 230$ cdn. Couldn’t pass up the deal. I’ve wanted to try and have a cricut for years and got the emerald with gold trim. (I didn’t expect the gold as it wasn’t advertised but I’m super happy about it).

    I have the cricut explore air 2 and I love it. It was my first cricut and I use it a lot. I have been on the fence on upgrading my Cricut. I really want to upgrade to the original maker but my thing is I don’t know if I would use all the tools on it. The only thing I like with the maker is the engraving tool. I like the explore 3 because of the no mat, no dial and it cut faster. So I’m on the fence on upgrading to the new explore or the original maker. I also hear good and the bad about the makers. So I just need someone opinion.

    We bought the Cricut Maker at Costco last one on the shelf for $209.99. I'm just a noobee and have a pile of projects to do. I have Honda lawn mowers that required replacing a rusty deck and the decals that normally go on the deck are not available or they are priced way out of whack. And now . . . . . I can make them myself. I am also into golf so the proverbial "only golfers parking space" metal sign, tee bags, Taylormade & Calloway accessories & apparel is mine, ALL MINE! Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa!
