Press the blinking 'C' on your machine to begin your engraving. Place your mat in your machine and select Acrylic 2mm as your material. You may need to experiment a little bit ( so we always recommend getting an extra just in case). In the prepare screen, move your design so that it is in the correct location to be engraved correctly. Ensure that you fix it securely to the mat using something like masking tape. Load your acrylic blank onto your cutting mat. Simply head to our home page and select 2mm so see our ever-growing range of products. Here at Laser Blanks, we offer a range of acylic blanks at 2mm for use in your Cricut Machine. If you do exceed this limit, your acrylic will get very scratched an damaged. Your Cricut is only able to have a maximum of 2.4mm loaded in the machine. Next, you'll need to ensure that the acrylic you're using is less than 2.4mm. Using the Linetype Menu at the top of page, instruct your machine to 'engrave' rather than cut. It does this by using it's small hard, metal point to press and move on and around the acrylic, permanently marking the acrylic.Īfter you've loaded your engraving 41 tip into the maker, it is time to design your project in Design Space. This amazing tool is designed to allow you to create permanent and etched designs. The engraving tool/tip is marked with '41' on it to ensure that it is not mixed up with other tools. The Cricut Maker Engraving Tool allows you to take your designs to the next level! Not only can you expand your use of materials, you can opt to replace the use of vinyl on acrylic.
