Instructions were very clear by the way. Thanks for sharing

This is TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Excellent video...directions are so easy to follow

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I ruined 2 acrylic pieces and then I saw this! Excellent tutorial!!!

Perfect tutorial. I followed the steps that you laid out and i was able to create some amazing signs for my party. Great Job!

Thank you so very much this was the help I needed; it has been a while since I did any engraving. thank you again

love it, I must make some for the grandkids

Genius hack!!!! Thank you :)

That was really cool. Love the project

This was a great tutorial. I just completed my first engraving project. I love it. You could not have made the process any easier. Thank you!!!!

So easy to understand. Thank you.

Thank you for very clear instructions and great tutorial!

Thank you!!!! This was very helpful! 😊

That is fantastic!

Thank you for your instructions. They are clear and precise directions. I have read some of the comments regarding background music. Honestly, it is not bad or in no shape or form does it interfere with the narrative. One thing people have to remember is that this was provided for all for free and with much detailing so that we all can be successful. So the next time you are annoyed by music, voice from the narrative or you just don't like how it is presented. Just remember that you can always pay for lessons or do it by trial and error. Again, thank you Alex for your how to video's for people who want to purchase the machine.

👏 Awesome 🤩

I just got a circuit 3 machine for Christmas. I want to make things so I can eventually set up a animal rescue for unwanted animals here in Central Florida. This is amazing tutorial. You explain everything so clear and I guess I have to add magnets, acrylics and t-shirts to what I'm going to sell. I'm also thinking keychains as well but that's more jewelry. Thank you this has been a huge help.

Awesome! Thank you !

Beautiful! I can't wait to try this!

This was awesome and so helpful 👍👌Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting this helpful video! I love how you were direct and to the point AND you didn't ramble on about your personal life like some people. Your video was very professional, and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent tutorial

My daughter’s wedding is in 2 weeks. I’m engraving one for the kids table. I’m thinking “COOL KIDS ONLY”. I needed this detailed tutorial. I haven’t engraved before so this was perfect. Thanks so much. I’ll be sure to share!

Amazing tutorial, thank you for this content.

Thank you for the great tutorial.

This was a great video I just started with my maker 3 and the first one of these I made came out perfect. Thank you for doing a great video.

That very nice and good work 👍

that looks great i told my sister she needs to check you out! she loves her cricut and has not tried this yet!

Your voice was very clear! Music wasn’t distracting at all!

Great video thanks

Thank you so much

This is exactly what I have been wanting to learn to do

Thanks for the tutorial. To the point and you made it look so easy. Your project is so cute also.

That is really cool. From a Brother Scan N Cut user's perspective we don't have as many steps to go through. I can load my image into the cutter itself, place the blank on any part of my mat, tape it down for extra strength, then after loading the mat I can scan the mat. If the cutter determines the material is too thick to pass under the scanner element it will prompt me to adjust the height position lever to either 1 or 2. The cutter can handle materials up to 3 mm thick. Position 1 is the lowest clearance setting for materials to pass under the built-in 600 DPI color scanner element. My 125 DX machine can scan up to 12x12 inches. Machines with higher model numbers can scan up to 12x24 inches. Now that the cutter knows what is on the mat I can drag & drop the file on the cutter's integrated 5" color touch screen display until it aligns with the material on my mat. I can choose to save my work or just go straight to Draw Mode. I then insert a 3rd party engraving tool (Zoom for instance). Next I make any adjustments necessary for pressure and speed. After that I press the OK button on the touch screen display. I don't have to count squares on my mat to get my file(s) to align with the usable area of the material. I could even set the machine to auto fill my design onto the usable area of material to get the most out of it. But for that I may have to resize things. A simple matter using the built-in computer on the cutter. The basics of what you just went over is done at this point on my 125 DX Scan N Cut. During the engraving stage the cutter will show an ETA of how long it will take to complete the task. This is adjusted in real time during the operation. Once the project is done the mat will almost fully eject itself with maybe an inch or so of the mat still inside the machine. If I like the outcome I can press the eject button to remove the mat and then remove the material on the mat. If I want to make other adjustments or if I want to load some other material to the mat I can do that without disturbing what is already mounted to my mat. I can make any tweaks or edits to the design(s) as I like, including creating new elements, patterns, shapes, importing new designs from the cutter's internal library, scan new images in as data or cut files, Import new designs from my PC or a USB Flash Drive, create new text art, duplication of existing or new elements, designs, text, etc. Once I have things the way I want I save to my cutter's internal storage or to the USB 2.0 port for USB Flash Drive. I can even save it back to my PC or over wi-fi to my PC or wi-fi mass storage. Our machines can use almost any .SVG file from other sources. We also have a proprietary file format ".FCM" to work with. .FCMs made on any generation Scan N Cut will work on any other generation of Scan N Cut. If you were to take a Scan N Cut to a live event you could have customers draw or write whatever they like, scan it into the machine, and then have the machine create whatever it is you are selling right there while the customer waits. No Internet required. No external PC required.

so cute ❤️ 😛💣💚

Nice explan

Thanks so much for this!!! The music is a little distracting though!

Thank you !! What tool would I use in my Maker to transfer an image onto Parchment so that I can then hand emboss the parchment>

Beautiful! How long did it take you to do the engraving part?

Can you tell me how many times you let the acrylic go through the machine. Once or twice? Thank you. It looks great! I want to do one as soon as my order ships.

Excellent tutorial thank you, however I am a little concerned about the 2mm gap and the acrylic wobbling. (I ordered some bases which came with 4mm thick acrylic which I am replacing with 2mm acrylic). How do you overcome this? Do your bases just have a 2mm gap?

Excellent video. Just wondering why you needed to download the LED square shape? Couldn't you just choose a square shape from DS?

Just watched your video and loved it. I am about to try out a 4" circle. I don't have a light stand and was planning to hang in a window. Do you have any suggestions on making the etching stand out? wondering about backings or paint, etc. Look forward to hearing any ideas! Mariane...your newest fan!

Very good video! Can you tell me how long it takes for the engraving tool to become dull if used only for acrylic? I visited a store today and was told that if I used it for acrylic, it would be ruined after a couple of uses... I thought it was too strange and didn't buy one before doing some research first! Thank you very much.

Hey I love your video, have you used any other acrylic svg files? I was trying to download the 5*7 but I keep getting a page not found any advice?

If I don't have a strong mat which would be best to use?

This isn't acrylic related but can you use the engrave tip on Cricut wood veneer and the Maker?

Hello how long did it takes to finish the engraving when using cricut hope you answer

Hi I buy yesterday my first cricut maker 3 I wondering whic blade I need buy for 2.5 mm acrylic cut ✂️ not engraved i need cut acrylic thnk u ☺️

Hi, where did you get your organizer from. The one behind you in the beginning of the video

nice! I see the bigger one on your background did you do that with Cricuit?

Great tutorial! May I know the thickness range of acrylic which is available to this machine?

Are the acrylics permanently stuck inside the base once you put it in or can you change the piece of vinyl in the base?

I like how your very descriptive

What housing does the engraving tip need? Is it the rotary?

Trying this for acrylic fondant stamps, any tips I should know if anyone has done it for that type of acrylic stamp, im paying a fortune for those type of stamps, do I select embossed and debossed thanks

Hi Alex So neat, love your videos! Where can i buy the lights for this neat project!

So this would be good to make fondant prints with?

Hi there thanks for your video… from where do you get this blank led acrylic stand. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very neat! Is it possible to do this with the Air 2?

Thanks for an easy to follow video. ! Will this work with just writing ?

Question about scoring, I want to cut denim with my maker. Would a scoring wheel do the trick?

Can you use the engrave tool on cured Resin projects

I just started really using my cricut and wanted to try this but 143vinyl is sold out of the bases. I looked everywhere to find them but the ones I found have a 4mm slot. Is there any other place I can get them or do you have any recommendations for the bigger ones?

Can you use engraving tola mekar 3 please answer me ?

Do I have to have membership to get the engraving access? I did it last month but try to do it todat and it is all Grey out.

Super helpful.may i know how thick of the acrylic you use?

All these tools come with it or we have to buy ? The cutters

Do I need to put the blade in a special position

Hi may I know if this works for bigger acrylic?

May I ask for how long Cricut maker 3 finished engraving this design?

Hi. How large can I make an engraved acrylic sheet that lights under LEDs? So if I can go larger, what base do you recommend, or would I have to make my own?

I’m trying this

Can this be used in the explorer 2

I read somewhere if you wanna test drive w/out wasting good materials, you can use parchment paper (color it w/ marker) so you know where it’s going to engrave. Not sure where I heard that from? Maybe it’d work. I just bought the circuit & all the supplies yesterday

Hi Alex, I'm wanting to make some acrylic embossers for using with fondant for cookie decorating. I've trawled the internet, Cricut FB groups, and even called Cricut support, but they weren't able to tell me...well, the Cricut support lady said it was possible, but she did not sound convincing, like she was really really unsure. My question is, because the embossers need to be engraved deep enough to be able to press fondant into, can the Cricut Maker/Cricut Maker 3, engrave to 1-1.5mm deep or do they just etch across the surface? At the moment I only have a Cricut Joy, so I really want to know if the Maker/Maker 3 can do this before I go and spend the $600 on the machine (I'm in Australia, hence the $600 price tag for a Maker/Maker 3). Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. Cheers, Vicki

hi there i have the explorer air 2 can that do the ingraving

What tip do I need for my Cricut explorer air 2

Can you do a custom design ? Also when you have a custom one does the app do the tracing ?

Do you mirror the object?

Can I do the same thing on a mirror?

I am not seeing the 3 dot choice on design space? I wonder if I did something wrong?

Can I do this with the keychain

I Just tried to use 2mm acrylic on my Maker 3, it scans then says "tool may lift or spin" then the red light flashes and I can do nothing. No other buttons work, and I have to hit cancel cut to get the mat out of the machine. Advice??? what am I doing wrong?

Where do u find the acrylic at.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE SVG FOR THE BLANKS?

Can you do this on a cricuit 2

It can engrave wood as well?

Great Video, Can I make this using Explore 3?, all the engraving tools on amazon refer to the Maker series.

The only acrylic blanks I’m finding on 143vinyl say they are 1/8 thickness, I’m not seeing 1/16.

You have pretty hands!
