i read 'circuit maker' and got very excited for a moment

This is a good question to search over at reddit in the cricut sub. Many of the official accessories are cute (color coordinated) but middling in terms of utility and value. If she has a Pinterest-quality craft room, go for it. If having a $1 utility knife and spare cash for supplies is more her style, skip the official accessories.

I would say, generally, go with the basics to start. The Maker comes with enough to do paper and vinyl. If she wants to get into fabric, leather, or heavier materials, or do some specialized folds with double crimps and such, the accessory wheels and cutter attachments can always be purchased later, and often found on sale if you're not in a huge hurry. I would instead get a big variety pack of craft paper, a spare blue cutting mat (or three...the "light" / blue mat is the most used for vinyl + paper, "strong" pink is used for fabrics, green is for mid-thickness stuff that won't stick to blue but would be damaged if you used pink), and a variety pack of vinyl. Then let her see what she gravitates towards as a project.

Oh, and if she wants to do a bunch of pen-writing with it, but you don't want to splurge on the official pens, you might find a friend with a 3D printer and have them print one of my collet adapters [thingiverse.com] for Sharpie or other cheap options.

Looking to purchase one for my gf and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for must have accessories for the cricut? Would I be better off purchasing a bundle pack with accessories ?

I don't have this but recently bought a Silhouette Cameo bundle. I'm still learning and buying more materials and accessories and I know I'd have been lost if I'd just got the machine on its own. The accessories really help and they're going to be needed at some point anyway. Plus it means your gf will have something to work with straight away.

As for recommendations, it depends what she's likely to use it for. Buy something like multipacks of vinyl (12" square multipacks are reasonable enough on Amazon), then look into different types of vinyl for different jobs. Some cardstock is a good idea if she's likely to make cards or craft projects, and double sided tape helps with this too. And definitely get some tools like a weeder (with a hook on it - that's used for picking the printed vinyl apart after it's cut). Even better is a pack of tools that includes one.

I am thinking of buying one from a long time and I have no prior experience. What do you all suggest, should I get a cricut maker or a cameo 4? I am looking for something that is more user friendly.

I purchase the vinyl from Ali Express, including tools. Sometimes I go to Hobby Lobby with the 40% off couple and get printable transfer heat paper.

Already have one but my sister wants one after seeing everything I make. (Male, 38years old... Although lots of videos on youtube are females teaching me, some males too, it's for everyone!) Contemplating giving her mine and getting silhouette cameo instead.

2 CONS real quick then all the good stuff:

1) The limitations of Cricut Design Space app are something to look into before purchasing since it kind of requires you to be online, sometimes during maintenance makes the app unusable. (They usually do it around midnight or later and usually an hour or so)

2) Print and cut limitation unless you do workaround hacks which take time and patience. It limits you to 6.75 inches x 9.25 inches instead of using the whole 8.5x11 sheet since it has to make a border for registration marks to scan then cut.

Otherwise I'm still very happy with the Cricut Maker. I originally got it for myself to print and cut stickers but it has proven to have so many more uses!

*I cut vinyl stickers for laptops, cars, walls, etc.
*I print and cut stickers
*I make greeting cards using the cut feature and their pens
*I cut masks out of fabric at beginning of pandemic
*Make iron on for clothes, just got into their infusible ink products which are great!
*I made custom photo puzzles from chipboard, printed photo on sticker paper and laminate then stick to chipboard, then Cricut cuts it (could be hours and hours cuz it makes so many passes).
*Etched into acrylic and put it on a led light base looks pretty cool.
*Stencils for painting signs, etc.
*Multi layered paper crafts
*Coasters using vinyl or painting then vinyl, or painting then vinyl then painting then removing vinyl for multiple colors.

Most of it is personal stuff but the puzzles I sold a decent amount of and starting to get into the shirts more for business opportunities.

You will need to buy accessories like the pick and scraper and tweezers, which you will need, you'll prob need more mats eventually, and then whatever medium you want to work with (cardstock, vinyl, fabric, htb, iron on, etc) but starting with multi colored vinyl sampler packs is a good cheap start.


TL,DR: If you were already shopping for one, this is a fantastic deal! It's def brought the creative side out of me. I also got my girlfriend's daughter a Cricut Joy for Christmas!

Cricut is the devil's workshop, you have been warned. 😆

Bought the Maker for my Wife for Christmas. We have all the accessories, plenty of vinyl and the boxes, cabinets, and racks to hold it all, the monthly subscription to the program, and tons of hand crafted items around the house. We now celebrate EVERY holiday, and make tons of "gifts" like wood scrabble pieces with names. Jennifer Maker is the leader, the devil herself.

For most people, I think the explorer air 2 will work and is cheaper. This is better for people that want to do with with wood or perhaps have an Etsy shop.

If you have the choice and money the cameo should be the better option. My friend bought one same time I got my cricut and the cons I mentioned in the previous post aren't much of an issue with the cameo. (Offline software, and print and cut limitation, there might still be one but I'm pretty sure it's bigger than what cricut allows)
