Iake a staples mini sized gel pen and roll on a staples pencil grip. I purchased a set and find them to be a tad wide for my liking. Provocraft makes plotter style markers for their machine. In addition to Makes-the-Cut I’ve found a variety of other hacks all over the web. The 2 programs unlock the cricut machine and make it truly useful for an artist. I could stamp my handmade stamps, scan them then cut stencils and masks of the exact same shape. By combining the program with my scanner and the freeware program Inkscape I was able to design my own cuts. I was gifted with a copy of Sure-Cuts-a-Lot and it addressed a lot of what I needed. I downloaded both trial programs and tested them out. 2 different programs that addressed my needs. I found what I was looking for in a forum about the cricut- Sure-Cuts-a-Lot and Make-the-Cut.
All of which were helpful and interesting looking but not what I was seeking. I found a half dozen tutorials on how to dismantle it and to replace the knife with a pen. As soon as I unboxed it I was looking for ways to hack it. The idea of the circuit- a plotter with a knife is amazing but provocraft really put shackles onto the machine by forcing you to use the carts. My mom got me the cricut after watching me mess around with hers. You are stuck with those images only, sure you can change their size and create linked chained but that’s about all. The carts are cool but pretty limited in what their capabilities. The cartridges run anywhere from $25 to $80 and I’ve seen some hard to find and previous years carts running in the $125 range on eBay. Provocraft makes the machine to be used with preloaded and very expensive cartridges. For those of you who don’t know what a cricut machine is, let me tell you all about it. For it to cut, plug in a cart, any cart, it doesn't matter.įor those of you on twitter and tumblr you know I’m messing around with a cricut machine. When you plug it into your computer it WILL NOT CUT IF you don't have a cart in the machine. What you just downloaded is NOT THE FULL SOFTWARE, you need the serial number. The software is $80, or 2 carts at full price or 4 carts on sale. You need the serial number to use the software. You will also need to purchase MTC from MTC. (No I will not post a link to it, you can work google.) These are items 1 and 2 on the tumblr page. After that download and run the plugin installer. You will need to download MTC 4.1.0 and install it. Google make the cut 4.1.0 look for a page on TUMBLR. If you bought an expressions 2? Sell your machine on eBay and get one of the machines listed on the MTC website. Provocrap has blocked ANY outside software from working with the crapcut. The info in this post pertains to the ORIGINAL CRAPCUT NOT THE NEW EXPRESSIONS 2. Please read the comment section of t his post closely for the information you are looking for.
