Our take on the Cricut Maker 3 Smart Machine - DIY Value Shimmer Vinyl, Glitter HTV, Transfer Tape Bundle

The Cricut Maker 3 is Cricut's top-tier cutting machine, and this bundle adds two rolls of Permanent Smart Vinyl, two rolls of Smart Iron-On Glitter and a roll of clear grid transfer tape. The Maker 3 cuts without a mat when using Smart Materials, up to 12 feet in one pass, and its adaptive tool system handles fabric, leather, balsa and thin wood as well as vinyl and cardstock. It suits crafters who want one machine for both vinyl decals and sewing or heavier materials. Against the Explore 3, the Maker 3 adds the stronger cutting force and tool range but costs more; against the Joy, it is far more capable but larger. Owners praise the mat-free Smart Materials and cut accuracy, and complain about the software subscription and the learning curve.
