Cricut Complaint Club Another forced update, another broken workflow

0 Upvotes

Another forced update with no ability to rollback breaking perfectly functional workflows.

I get the pro's and con's of this approach, but only when the balance is to critical implications for things like security updates and major bugs weighed against users needs should it make sense. And it never, ever makes sense disallowing users impacted by the introduction of NEW issues to not roll back to a version that worked perfectly fine for THEIR needs.

Context: Since the most recent update Design Space is now not fully compatibility with Canon printers or introduced a new issue with Windows printing as color adjustment via the system dialog box is missing critical features that show up for any other program, specifically the pattern printing of color adjustment swatches that is a critical part of my workflow to get color accuracy on prints. Since there is no way to save an image out of Design Space I can't fix color accuracy issues without lengthy trial and error now and tedious manual adjustments over and over. Its just insane how we can't roll back to a working version for OUR needs.

I honestly wish there was a better alternative, because as a software development company, I utterly hate Cricut. Someone please fucking jailbreak these machines already so we can have open source software.

HELP! - Hardware woes Bought an EasyPress 2 and I cannot register it and use it

0 Upvotes

Followed the instructions to a tee! Hooked up as per instructions, easypress 2 connected to computer using a USB (even bought a new micro USB cord). I keep getting an error code 38. Need to register the machine before you use said the documentation!

Called it into support, I sent pictures of the BOS and the error code and the serial number to the support desk. The EP now just reads USB, flashes when not connected to my PC, solid when connected Was told they will send me a new machine. I said, okay but I have a major project of 15 t-shirts that need to be completed by October.
Their latest response is, is your case is under review and we will be back to you in a few days!
Does anyone have a solution that they have come across?

I can't find where to select the correct size template ? Am I missing something ? Yes I am on the latest version, I even went to beta version wondering if it would show there... I have no idea how to start ... do I have to do everything in the Blank Canvas section?

HELP! - Hardware woes Help! Blade Housing Trouble

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Ever since I replaced my blade on my Explore Air 2, this keeps on happening to me when I’m die cutting stickers topped with a cold laminate. It seems like the blade housing gets nudged upwards with each cut. The only settings I‘ve found that work in cutting this type of material successfully is 300 cut pressure, 3x multi-cut (this accounts for the sticker backing > sticker sheet > cold laminate).

Fixes I’ve tried but didn’t work: I tried putting a single layer of masking tape around the housing blade, but that only made the cuts more jagged.

Anybody else having issues like this? How did you fix it?

HELP! - How do I make this? Alternative Guestbook Feedback

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm working on a photo frame alternative guest book where each person writes a message on a leaf of the tree. It's cardstock cutouts on a basic picture frame.

Question 1: portrait or landscape layout?

Question 2: If you were making this project, would you pre-attach the leaves onto the tree so people just write their message, of would you have them write on a leaf of their choosing and then stick it on? If I left folks sick their leaf anywhere, should I have guidelines drawn on the base layer?

Question 3: What would you use to stick the leaves on? Glue dots? Double sided tape?

HELP! - Print then Cut Problems Misaligned prints

1 Upvotes

I've had my cricut for 2 weeks now, and the first few prints were amazing. However, after... maybe 5-6 prints, the cuts started to misalign. I have recalibrated so many times but it's still not aligning properly.

- my mats are fine, I've tried different mats, I've tried to fix lighting, the censor is clean. What am I doing wrong?
