Yes, about the transfer tape... I would imagine that they are not all the same.. so I'm assuming then, that of what you've tried that they all do the job for the most part but if you want to deal with something where details matter than go with the brand name? To which i would also assume that aside from leaving behind less residue on the clear parts it would probably also handle finer details the best as well? On any materials? I'm going to pour thru your videos looking for looking for answers as they seem to be the most complete. As well as what i pick up in the comment section! Just time consuming.. but I have yet to find a quick guide to this machine.

I'm late to the show. You actually don't need a stencil font for YAY. You created a new hole at the bottom of A by adding base and it worked fine. It would be the same with the "eye" in A. Otherwise, interesting and informative project. I make a lot of non-transparent cake toppers using 2 mm PVC foam board as the base, which is very stable. Then I apply glitter or mirror cardstock on top and possibly other materials. Adhesive vinyl can be applied before cutting. I as well used heavy chipboard setting in the beginning but later realized that 1.5 mm chipoard with 12 passes was just enogh.

Note: I'm using Green (standard one) mat, is it Ok, or should I use strong grip mat? and material is Acetate.

Correct but that setting is for a very thin acetate sheet. If you are using something thick, that setting and blade will not work. If it is really thick, the Cricut will not cut it at all.

Gracias por tu video, sòlo para aclarar, este material es conocido en español como acetato, no es acrilico, es un plastico duro como el que viene en las cajas de los juguetes como ventana para que veas el contenido, tengan cuidado, la maker NO CORTA ACRILICO DE VERDAD, Puedes dañar tu màquina si lo intentas, este material que muestran en el video es ACETATO.

I’m not quite sure why you needed a stencil font? A normal ‘A’ would have been fine. Having the center fall out would be perfect.

Have you tried calibrating it? What material are you trying to cut? Is it shiny or a different color?

I would contact Cricut then. I would say something is wrong with your sensor.

Is this acrylic food safe?

You would have to look for some that specifically says that.

I have acrylic mugs, and travel mugs usually have acrylic lids, especially those for sublimation. So, yes, acrylic materials are food safe.

acrylic is food safe, but this isn't acrylic, its craft plastic, likely made of Dur-Lar.

Is it a directive of Cricut the company to intentionally conflate acrylic with PET plastic? These 2 materials are vastly different in physical properties and are not interchangeable is most technical applications. Acrylic is very hard and useful in making dies. PET is not.
