Exploring the Cricut

There were about 35 folks in the audience for this morning’s clinic at the Railway Modellers’ Meet.  That was pretty good, considering it was the first clinic of the day, and many attendees had a late night of operations on Thursday.

  1. I would love to to try this project on my cricut but I couldn’t get it to download due to permissions. Are these the shingles you created too? I’m so impressed with all your work

    1. Thanks so much for sharing your work and your experiences with the Cricut! I am learning with the Maker. Any tips on importing the SVG? I get an error in DS: “The uploaded SVG contained the following items that are not supported: Unsupported image type — Import anyway?” When I import the entities are jumbled and overlap. Tried both in the new desktop version and web version of DS.

      1. I just got a Cricut Express. I’ve had that error and in my case I think it came from Inkscape, either Inkscape would scale the drawing to 24.5x when I switch from mm to inch units, or sometimes I believe when I saved as an Inkscape SVG instead of a plain SVG.

      2. Cool! I’m looking forward to hearing what you make with it.

        Could be coming from Inkscape, but I’ve heard so many complaint about the error that I believe it is in Design Space. Anyway, it’s easy to correct.
