Are Cricut Housings Interchangeable?

This is a question that many Crafters ask when looking to upgrade their Cricut machine.

The short answer is, yes, many Cricut housings are interchangeable. However, there are some exceptions that you should be aware of as well.

The majority of the Cricut machines are equipped with a universal housing. This means that any new housing you purchase for your machine should work with it, regardless of the model and size.

However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, the Maker and Explore Air 2 models have slightly different housings due to their larger size and upgraded features.

In addition to the universal housing, there are also housings specific to certain models. These can often be identified by their unique shape or color.

For example, the Explore One has a purple top while the Explore Air 2 has a blue top. These specialized housings may not be compatible with other models.

It’s important to note that even when you have a universal housing or one specific to your model, they may not always fit properly in your machine. This is because some of the parts inside the machine may have been changed in order to make them compatible with newer models or features.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, many Cricut housings are interchangeable but there are some exceptions based on model type and size. It’s important to check compatibility before purchasing any additional parts for your Cricut machine.
