- How is the Venture different from the Cricut Maker 3?
- The Venture cuts material up to 24 inches wide and takes long rolls, while the Maker 3 is limited to 12 inches. The Venture is larger, heavier and faster, and it is meant for higher-volume work.
- Does it need a mat?
- No mat is needed for roll-fed vinyl and similar materials. Sheet material can still be cut with a mat.
- What can it cut?
- It cuts vinyl, iron-on and heat-transfer material, cardstock and other Cricut-supported materials. It also draws, scores and foils with the matching tools.
- Do I need a computer to use it?
- Yes. Designs are set up in Cricut Design Space on a computer or mobile device, and the machine connects over Wi-Fi or USB.
- Are the tools included?
- The machine ships with a fine-point blade and housing. Other blades, pens and foil tools are sold separately.
- Is it worth it for a hobbyist?
- Only if you regularly cut wide or long material. Casual crafters are usually better served by the smaller, cheaper Maker 3.
