Cricut Maker 3

The first thing I did was to choose a design from here after turning the machine on. I picked up some smart, matless, removable vinyl paper and placed it right at the cricut paper entrance

After I chose my design I clicked Make > Without Mat > Smart Vinyl Matless Removable Vinyl on the computer. I went back to the machine and clicked these buttons in this order

After it was done the outline of the design was visible and I had to scrape the sticker out using special tools

I designed my project with Fusion360 with parameters

Here are the parameters I created, the material I used was 4mm and I adjusted the parameters according to that.

I exported the file in DXF file format and opened it in Adobe Illustrator to edit it. I made the color of “DORA” red so I could change it Epilog Manager to have the red lines engraved and the black lines vector cut

But while I was exporting it to Adobe I chose “Fit to Page” instead of “original size” and it messed the scaling up. It came out way too big and the pieces didnt fit together

I did it again but chose original size instead and the size came out normal and small. This time I used:

• engrave: speed=10 power=60
• vector: speed=5 power=60

We figured out the optimal speed and power while doing our group assignment.

I made another puzzle-like design on Fusion with two shapes that could work together as puzzles.

Here are the parameters:

I opened it in Adobe Illustrator, copy pasted the shapes a number of times and sen it to the laser cutting machine through Epilog Manager. The setting was vector with speed=5 and power=60. Here are the shapes printed out
