Thank you ! I was hesitant to buy that machine not knowing where to get the replacement cutters. Now I now the same as Circuit. Great job. I just don’t understand where and hue the transfer sheet ends up on the design. Great job

@amywalker4359 5 ай бұрын

Thank you, I've been curious about the Loklik machine. I have the Htvront Autopress as well. I think your project didn't stick, at least this time, because the elastic waistband kept it from getting pressure on the area with the HTV. Try it letting any thick area hang off the side, or use another pressing pad to raise the area to be press above the thick area. This can happen with any press, but auto presses may be more vulnerable.

@Cricuter 4 ай бұрын

I need to try the additional pad hack because it doesn't matter if it's a flat t-shirt or shorts or a wood ornament, I always have an issue.

I love the heat press. I have not had any issues with it. Did you have the correct temperature and time that works with the fabric you were pressing?

@Cricuter 4 ай бұрын

I really think I got a fluke machine. I've tried heat pressing so many things according to the required temps with it and nothing sticks on the first press. I've tried multiple t-shirts, wood ornaments with htv, those shorts. HTVRont thought it was because the fabric wasn't flat enough from the wasteband. But I know my Vevor wouldn't have had a problem. It seems like there's no pressure. I wish it worked better! It's a beautiful looking machine and easy to use. Just doesn't work for me lol

Very informative, thanks! I'm not particularly interested in vinyl and heat presses - been there, done that with a Cameo a few years ago. Why I want to know is how good is this machine for cutting thicker card and cardstock? ( I make 3D card sculptures and this could speed my process up) I'm guessing you have to do a few passes but is it accurate?

@Cricuter 4 ай бұрын

I've never tried cutting cardstock with it. I'll have to give it a try.

Hi Kerri, I've seen mixed reviews about this machine. When I first saw it, it reminded me of my own Cricut Explore Air 2. Not sure if the Foil Tool would fit the LokLik but it does appear to be very limited on the tools that you can use. I have just treated myself to a Cricut Maker 3, and was thinking of getting a HTVRont Heat Press from HTVRont UK, but the fact you're having trouble getting vinyl to even stick to your projects is off-putting, so think I'll give it a miss. I do love their vinyl, however, so will continue use that. Thank You for thoughts on this machine. ❤❤

@Scelestious 4 ай бұрын

I use the htvront auto press daily for my business pressing hundreds of items some days and its worked amazing for over a year. If you need a harder press use another mat on top of your main one. We use htvront htv and it works great. We also always cover vinyl projects with teflon with no issue. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also to note we press htvront vinyl with the pre set setting #1 which is 300 degrees at 15 seconds (I believe). So the temp could have been the problem here.

@Cricuter 6 ай бұрын

For car decals you'll want to use a permanent vinyl like Oracle 651 amzn.to/3EVy6iA. For stickers you'll want to use printable vinyl. I like amzn.to/3u5XuQo

I've never done resin projects so I don't know what goes into it. You could cut vinyl out and add designs to things and then pour resin over it. Like if you wanted to make an acrylic keychain you could add a name to the acrylic and then resin over it. Hope that helps!

These are precision cutting machines. It's always best to calibrate any machine like this right when you get it to make sure it cuts right. If you don't I would imagine your cuts could be off.

That is not different from design space. You just move it on the mat differently. If it is in the corner and you want it in the center. When you go to cut you click edit then you can move it. And it ill cut where ever it is shown on the mat.

@Cricuter 5 ай бұрын

It's similar to Design Space but with Design Space where you place it on the mat is done after you click Make It. You can have your design anywhere on the canvas but that won't effect the mat placement. With the LokLik software where you have it on your canvas is where it cuts. Not after you click make it.
