Anycubic I3 Mega Vinyl Cutter Cricut blade mount

thingiverse

After becoming fed up with my Cricut machine rendering the device I bought for my wife a few years ago utterly useless, I decided to devise a workaround. The blade mounts on the front of the print head and can be elevated when not in use or easily completely removed. I flipped my mount over to give myself greater vertical adjustment. Holes are provided for M3 screws and there are slots for captured nuts facing the print head. Screw holes on the top may need to be enlarged slightly for a correct fit. Screw spacing is 1.5 inches on the blade mounting points, allowing for inserts for other blade carriers to be easily made. I cut from SVG files converted to GCODE using instructions from this instructable. Make sure that you enter the correct offset for your cutting tool, which is usually the blade radius. You can cut some small intricate things with different settings to fine-tune this process. If it is too high, you will have weird wavy lines and overcuts.
