When I Click Make It on My Cricut Nothing Happens?

When you click ‘Make It’ on your Cricut, nothing happens at all – this is a common issue that can be quite frustrating. A few things could be causing this issue and fortunately there are some steps you can take to try and fix it.

Check the Cricut Design Space Connection

The first thing to check is that your Cricut is connected to the internet or to your computer. If it’s not connected, then the machine won’t be able to send or receive data from the Cricut design space. Check your Wi-Fi connection and make sure that it’s active, and then double-check that you have an active internet connection. If everything checks out, then move on to the next step.

Restart the Machine

If you still can’t get your machine to work after checking the internet connection, try restarting it. Unplug the power cord from the back of the machine and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in.

This will reset the machine and hopefully get it working properly once again.

Check Your Materials

If restarting didn’t fix it, then make sure that you have all of the materials you need in order for your project to work properly. Make sure you have paper or other material loaded into your machine and that any settings related to materials are correct (e.g., if using vinyl, make sure that ‘vinyl setting’ is selected). Also check for any loose connections between any materials or tools you may be using with your Cricut – these need to be secure in order for everything to function properly.

Update Your Firmware

Finally, if none of these steps seem to do anything, then try updating your firmware by connecting your Cricut directly to a computer via USB cable and downloading any available updates from Cricut’s website. Once downloaded, follow the instructions on screen in order to complete installation of the update onto your device. After this has been done, try clicking ‘Make It’ again – hopefully this will have fixed whatever issue was causing it not to work in the first place!

Conclusion

When I click ‘Make It’ on my Cricut nothing happens, there could be multiple causes ranging from a lack of a proper internet connection all the way up to needing a firmware update for my device. Fortunately there are steps I can take in order troubleshoot this problem so I can get back up and running with my projects quickly!
