How Do I Calibrate My Cricut Explore AIR 2?

The Cricut Explore Air 2 is a must-have for anyone looking to make professional-looking projects at home. Whether you’re an avid crafter or just starting out, the Cricut Explore Air 2 makes cutting fabric, paper, vinyl and other materials easier than ever. But in order to get the most out of your Cricut machine, it’s important to properly calibrate it.

To start the calibration process, you’ll need to make sure that the Cricut Explore Air 2 is connected to your computer and powered on. Then, open up the Cricut Design Space software on your computer and select “Calibrate” from the list of options in the left-hand menu. This will bring up a pop-up window with instructions on how to calibrate your machine. Once you’ve followed those instructions, click “Next” and then “Start Calibration”.

The next step is to place a piece of cardstock down on your mat and then place it into the Cricut Explore Air 2 with the arrows on the mat pointing toward you. Now press down firmly on either side of the cardstock with your hands until you feel a slight resistance. This will help ensure that your cuts are as precise as possible when using the machine.

Once you’ve done this, press “Continue” in Design Space and then press “Cut” when prompted. This will cause your Cricut Explore Air 2 to begin cutting out a small square shape from the cardstock that was placed onto the mat earlier. Once it’s finished cutting out this shape, remove it from the mat and check that all of its edges are even and straight.

If everything looks good here then you can move onto adjusting any settings that need tweaking. In Design Space there are different setting sliders for controlling things like blade pressure, speed and more; so take some time here to adjust these until you’re satisfied with how they look.

Finally, after making any necessary adjustments be sure to save them so that they can be used for future projects by pressing “Save Settings” in Design Space.

Conclusion:

Calibrating your Cricut Explore Air 2 doesn’t have to be complicated – as long as you follow these steps carefully then you’ll be able to get perfect cuts every time! Just remember to adjust any settings if needed before saving them in Design Space so that they can be used again later on.
