Translation: machine translated
With the Maker 5, you can engrave, emboss, cut, and draw. The cutting plotter is smaller and lighter than its predecessor. In the Essentials Bundle, Cricut includes tools and materials so you can get started right away.
With the Maker 5, you can work with more than 300 materials, such as paper, vinyl, leather, fabric and foam sheets. The machine supports up to 13 crafting tools. The Essentials Bundle includes a selection of tools and materials, which I’ll introduce to you further down in the text.
More accessories in the Essentials Bundle
Cricut has expanded the bundle, particularly in terms of accessories and materials. You’ll receive tools for fine-line cutting, creasing and engraving, as well as a double-sided pen. Also included are two cutting mats, a trimmer and a weeding tool for removing excess vinyl.
In terms of materials, Cricut includes Smart Vinyl (self-adhesive vinyl film), Smart Iron-On for iron-on designs, transfer film, cardstock, insert cards and printable vinyl. You can use these to create stickers, cards, iron-on designs or vinyl lettering, for example. For your first projects, you won’t need to buy any additional tools or materials separately. According to the manufacturer, the materials are sufficient for up to 65 projects.
Bluetooth and compact housing
The maximum material thickness has increased from 2 to 3.175 millimetres compared to the Maker 4. Another new feature is a pen holder.
With ‘ «’ Load & Go», the Maker 5 starts the job immediately after loading. The machine feeds in the mat or material, measures it and then starts automatically. You connect the machine to your computer or mobile device via USB-C or Bluetooth. The previous model still used a USB-A cable connection.
The Maker 5 measures 50.2 × 19 × 12.1 centimetres and weighs 4.86 kilograms. The Maker 4 measures 56 × 18.3 × 15.8 centimetres and weighs 6.99 kilograms. This makes the new model slimmer, lower and around 30 per cent lighter.
