I used method 1 to connect my cricut expression to sure cuts a lot. The cricut cutter showed up and seemed to install correctly, but when I go to cut, it gives me an error message saying there is no recognized cutter and to check my USB connection, unplug the cricut and USB, wait 10 seconds, then plug back in. I tried both suggestions and am still getting the same error message. Do you have any advice of what I can try?

The cartridges can be costly and you are restricted to cutting with the cartridges that you have.
Hi Carly,I have both the Maker and a DX2200D (Disney) Scan N Cut. The Scan N cut will cut vinyl, cardstock, foil projects with either the Brother foil kit (cold foil) or a WRMK foil kit (hot foil), it has paper piercing tools, it will scan and save projects, use SVG files or FCM files, has free software and projects. It will scan and cut stamped images or pictures however they do need to be an enclosed shape. It also has an autoblade which works really well and can be adjusted for pressure if needed and the SNC is certainly quieter than the Maker. It is definitely a wonderful machine. One downside of the machine is the mats. They are not quite as good as Cricut mats however there are ways to rejuvenate them.
Hello, I am very new to Inkscape and I do not know a lot of the terminology, but I'm learning. I've created several SVG files for my Cricut with no problem, but the last 2 files I've made have really jacked up when I go to upload them. I'm sure this is a user error and I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out. The image on the left is what I created in Inkscape, the image on the right is what happens when I begin to upload it to Design Space. I don't even upload it because the preview is so jacked up. Please help! 2ff7e9595c
