    I have an issue with my Maker right now where one of the rubber wheels moves out of place on my maker. It only happens after I first turn it on after non using it. I move the wheel back and it works fine until I turn it off. Maybe this will help with that. I feel like my machine is defective. I've had it for a few years and have used it quite a bit, but I don't use it all the time. It is so disappointing because it was so expensive and I want it to work correctly.

The Print Then Cut calibration window will appear and lead you to the first step, which is to print out the calibration sheet on your home printer. Hope this helps!

    Cricut JUST did a huge update within their software, and one of their main concerns was PTC. I’d try again to see if there’s a difference. Your room should actually be well lit! If it’s too dark, this can affect the cuts. Also - what Cricut machine do you have and for how long?

    I got tired of calbrating my maker. I purchased it on Facebook Marketplace. I calibrated 50 times, and still can't get it right. I got same number and letters several times. I started writing them down toward the end. I had two 12/K two 10/K, and three 11/L. I know I had more of the same, but I didn't write them down. Maybe that is the reason why the seller had it up for sale. If I can't calibrate it, it is useless.
