Crafty cutting brand Cricut take aim a the prosumer with their giant Cricut Venture cutting machine!

If you know you know. Cricut is a vibe, it’s a thing, it’s addictive. And once you’ve mastered the art of cutting cool labels for your family drink bottles, making sick looking custom cards for events or birthdays then you start getting everyone asking you to make this or that for them. And then you’re limited by the size of your Cricut machine. No more. With the big Cricut Venture there’s huge possibilities.

As Nicola Dow Smith from Cricut says “We created Cricut Venture for enthusiastic makers and those who sell what they make, or want to have creative control over their merchandise, without size limitations. With Cricut Venture and the full Cricut platform, our community members can bring their large-format dreams to life with precision and ease,”

This thing can cut longer lengths with a cutting speed of 63.5 cm per second.

Because of the unique 45 degree angle of the machine, you also don’t need a ridiculous amount of space behind the machine to work with your design.

You can do the “Print then Cut” content up to 61cm x 71cm) and it’s power means you can use it on heavier material too.

It’s not cheap though, $1,499 plus another $500ish for the stand.

But if you’re making money doing little jobs for people online or in your community, “write it off” as they say:)
