How to Calibrate Cricut Explore 3

Want to perform the calibration of your Cricut Explore 3 machine but don’t know how to do it? Take a look at this comprehensive procedure to get a deep understanding of each step and perform the calibration easily. 

• Launch the Design Space application on your device.
• Choose Calibration on the left-hand menu once the application is opened.
• Select the “Print Then Cut” button on the next screen. It will start the calibration process.
• Now, the software will detect the printer on your machine and prompt you to print. Now, click on the “Print” button.
• In case the print does not come out properly or you need to take the print again, then you must click on Print Again or press the Continue button to proceed to the next step.
• Then, you need to choose the cutting machine for which you want to do the calibration. From the drop-down, select your machine model.
• Keep the calibration printout on the blue mat.
• Once the printout is complete, ensure it aligns perfectly with the left and top borders. 
• Now, insert the mat into the machine and click the blinking button to begin calibration.
• Your device will find the printed area’s edges and cut it. 
• Once complete, it will cut out the centermost square, and always try to cut the center of the thick lines printed on the calibration sheet.
• When the machine cuts the centermost square, it cuts the horizontal and vertical lines.
• After that, you will be asked to assess whether it was able to cut the center square properly.
• If you choose Yes, it will ask you to proceed with fine calibration, where it will ask you to select the horizontal lines and vertical lines where the cut was made exactly in the center of the lines.
• When you provide that information to the machine, it’ll cut the big rectangle in the center, and it will tell you to inspect whether the cut was made correctly at the center of the thick border of the shape.
• If the cut is not perfect, then the machine will save the generated data and prompt you to repeat the calibration process. You can repeat the entire process if you are unsatisfied with the cuts.
• If you are satisfied with the calibration, you can move on to the process of cutting your materials.
