If you own a Cricut machine, you know how important the pen adapter is. It allows you to use a variety of pens and markers with your Cricut machine. Unfortunately, over time, the pen adapter can become worn out or even broken. If this happens, you will need to replace it in order to continue using your Cricut machine. Luckily, changing a Cricut pen adapter is relatively simple and can be done in just a few steps.
The first step in changing your Cricut pen adapter is to remove the old one. To do this, locate the pen adapter on the top of your Cricut machine and gently pull it off. Do not use too much force as this can cause damage to the machine. Once you have removed the old pen adapter, you should be able to see two small screws along the side of the opening where it was sitting.
Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove these screws and set them aside for later use.
Once you have removed the old pen adapter, it’s time to install the new one. Take your new Cricut pen adapter and line it up with the opening where the old one was located. Make sure that all of the pins are lined up correctly so that they fit into their slots in the top of your machine. Once everything is lined up correctly, gently press down on the new Cricut pen adapter until it snaps into place.
Finally, take those two small screws that you removed earlier and re-install them into their slots along each side of the opening where your new Cricut pen adapter is located. This will help keep your new pen adapter securely in place while using your Cricut machine.
Conclusion:
Changing a Cricut Pen Adapter is a relatively simple process that only requires a few steps and some basic tools such as a Phillips head screwdriver and some small screws. Once completed, you will be able to get back to crafting with your beloved Cricut Machine!
