This momma was totally surprised by a Circut Explore Air 2 for Christmas this year. My husband and I had agreed not to get each other gifts since we are saving up to purchase a business firm. That didn't stop him from using a Christmas bonus he received (and didn't tell me near) to buy the machine for me. I'm definitely a lucky girl.

Equally soon as I started to open up the box I knew I wanted to share this. I know there are many of you who are agape to pull your machines out of the box or get hands intimidated by where to start. Going from the original Silhouette Cameo to this automobile will and has been a learning bend. I admit I felt frustrated a few times during the process and even felt like they needed more instruction when it came to setting upwardly the automobile. After I had information technology all plugged in I was like – now what!? Then I did my offset design and it said my automobile wasn't connected. It was plugged in with the USB string!? I hope this helps walk y'all through unboxing and setting upwardly your Cricut Explore Air 2 and so y'all don't accept the same issues.

In the Circuit Explore Air 2 Box –

Here is what was in the box. I took the automobile out so you can encounter what was underneath.

Below the machine was the ability cords, USB cord to hook from the auto to your computer, 12×12 cutting mat, sketch pen, warranty booklet and another book with ideas and a quick overview. The idea and overview book should include instructions in my opinion. Or maybe they should include another booklet with picture pace-by-step instructions. I am personally a visual learner.

The Cricut Explore Air 2 Features –

Here is the correct side of the Cricut Explore Air 2 auto. The power push button on top, material dial in the middle, from left to correct along the bottom are the load/unload, cut and break buttons. I love that information technology does wait sleek and the mint colour is my favorite.

On the left side of the automobile you have a little spot for tools. Maybe it volition help me to end misplacing my weeding hook. A girl can hope! So under that is a port for cartridges. At the lesser is the open push button. I like that the machine easily closes up between use to take up less space and go along the dust out.

Here is a look into the cartridge opening. The sometime machines by Cricut didn't claw to the figurer and they only had cartridges. This is a way for you lot to withal get use out the cartridges you may accept spent a modest fortune on. I exercise know the newest auto, the Cricut Maker , does Non have a spot for cartridges anymore.

This is the bract housing and when you unbox the machine the bract is already set up to go in slot B. The function I loved the most when I cut my kickoff design was that there is a calorie-free in the blade housing. This is a nifty feature since I ofttimes work in the evening in low calorie-free. I also accept to mention how repose the machine is. A few times I looked over wondering why the automobile wasn't cut only to find it cut away.

I learned A is for accessories like the marking that came in the box and B is for blade. Piece of cake plenty.

Then there are 2 pocket-size storage spots which I think are perfect for storing minor scraps, accessories and blades.

Hooking up the Cricut Explore Air 2 –

This machine is Bluetooth hence the 'Air' role but I was so used to plugging my erstwhile Silhouette into the computer that I used the USB cord. I can't wait to endeavor to Bluetooth cutting later in the week.

On the back of the machine you will see the two spots to plug your cords into. The correct is for the power cord and the left is for the USB cord if you choose to hook it directly into your figurer.

This is the USB cord. The USB goes into the USB port on your computer and the bigger side of the string goes into the dorsum of the automobile.

Then at that place is the power cord. I remember this one is self explanatory.

Setup the Cricut Explore Air two on the Reckoner-

At this point the machine is ready to go. By pulling it out of the box and plugging in two cords it can be powered on.

Start out by going to the Cricut website and curlicue all the way to the bottom until you run into the bottom bill of fare. Click on 'Sign In' to sign in with your Cricut ID or to create one. You accept to have a Cricut account setup to access the Cricut blueprint space.

Click on Create Cricut ID.

Make full out all of the information fields and press submit.

Now for the side by side function. Link the automobile to the software. I designed something, went to cut it and got an error message that I did not accept a machine linked to my account. It took me a few infinitesimal to figure information technology out.

Click on the listing icon (the three lines in the top left corner) and a drop down card comes downwards.

From the listing click on New Auto Setup.

And so y'all are taken to the next screen where you click on Get Started.

The following screen has you claw your machine up with the USB string and turn the ability on to your machine. Once I did this it immediately recognized my machine.

After it recognized the Cricut Explore Air 2 car it prompted me to download the software. It took about 5 minutes to install the software.

This completed the setup procedure on the estimator. Learning the software is going to be a bit of learning curve I can tell and then I program to share more than almost using that presently!
