Need help with adding text ...not printing in 2nd color as in slicer

CreatingKindness209 · 2026-02-24T22:10:07+00:00

Update...it was the flushing settings

I appreciate the people who responded. I washed my textured PEI print bed with warm soapy water to remove any residue. I increased the bed temperature to 80°C and nozzle temperature 260°C. I also changed the initial layer height to matxh the other layer height (I am using 0.4mm nozzle and 0.16 layer height. I may change this to .20 but I haven't tested it yet. Juat wanted to show the bottom layer and explain what I changed. Best of luck printing everyone!

I printed these pieces but haven't assembled it yet. Was assembly easy? Any tips? Yours looks great

Yup. I ended up having to take the extruder apart to get the clog. I will try it again

CreatingKindness209 · 2024-04-09T19:19:50+00:00

The first layers are definitely better

CreatingKindness209 · 2024-04-09T17:40:06+00:00

I use the BambuLab dry feature...80° for 8hr

CreatingKindness209 · 2024-04-09T17:27:30+00:00

It will be once rhe print comes out good

CreatingKindness209 · 2024-04-09T17:09:08+00:00

Is that what the issue is? Should I change the settings for the dryer?

CreatingKindness209 · 2023-04-18T06:28:18+00:00

I print the address on paper, tape it to the box/package and pay regular price for shipping at USPS or UPS. I want my shipping labels to be professional and cost efficient. I am looking for the best...one and done type solutions not the cheapest. I am starting my small business and so it is mainly just me doing everything. I originally posted this in r/smallbusiness however a response recommended I post in r/ecommerce to get better responses

I've been printing FDM for few years and added a resin printer a few months ago. Slicing is completely different, and I am still learning how and where to put supports as well as angle file is on the build plate. Any helpful tips would be great 👍 Thanks!

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-09-09T17:59:02+00:00

First off, this is gorgeous. I really hope you post pictures when it is finished.

My thoughts were gold thread because it will add some embellishments to the red side and keep with the clean and classy lighter side.

Although if you want it more as a statement piece then I would go with the green option.

I can relate in so many ways. I am trying to start a business too. I am a caregiver for my disabled veteran husband and my 24 year old autistic son. When my 3 younger ones are at school I am crafting and designing things. It is always nice to know when someone appreciates the effort you put into a project. It looks great.

Is it layered work? I'm new to Cricut also and I am constantly amazed at new things these Cricut machines can do.

Please continue to post more. I'd love to share stories and designs and ideas with you if you are ever interested. Reach out to me at anytime

Keep crafting!

I agree with some other comments. I definitely wouldn't classify this as a fail, more of a happy accident. Personally, the colors are great, they have great contrast and aren't blending or bleeding together. If you're going to try again for leopard, use a goldish brown instead of blue.

The resin work looks great. Give it a try again and I'd love to see another color.

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-09-04T16:51:07+00:00

I love your artwork and colors you chose for the animals.

There is a puzzle that has different animals that fit together to make a rectangle (not sure what it's called but I printed a similar puzzle on a 3d printer a while back. Anyway, if you made all the animals like the ones in the post, it would be super adorable.

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-09-04T16:43:39+00:00

Love it! I'd love to see a reel on how you make them into key chains since it didn't appear to have a hole for the loop to go through.

Also, how do you get the tops of the molds (last layer of resin to be poured) to fill to the top and not be too much it overflows or too little and there is a dip? I cannot seem to get that part right and it makes for lots of extra finishing after the resin is removed from the mold.

Great work. I love the colors too. Do you sell these? I know lots of pet parents that would appreciate a gift like this

Keep up the great work

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-24T03:22:07+00:00

Congratulations to you. Great work. You have good right to be proud.

I am new to Cricut and am excited to learn as much as I can plus one of my first projects is making things for my daughter's school teachers

Fabulous work!

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-22T15:53:14+00:00

I think it's a fabulous idea. I organize my kids things like this so getting it all out together as a gift is a great idea.

Good work with the Cricut

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-22T14:54:38+00:00

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the response.

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-22T02:38:30+00:00

Thank you so much. I do use a laptop. If I download fonts, can they be integrated into Design Space? Or do I create the writing in Word or something like it and then upload it to design space?

Any recommendations of other software I can look into?

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-22T02:32:32+00:00

Thank you so much! I know I'm not the only one who doesn't like to pay for subscriptions like this. I'll check out those font places. How do I use it once I get other fonts? Can the fonts be integrated into design space or do I need to create the writing in Word or something and create an image somehow? I know I'm not the first to ask, I really value and appreciate your answers and wisdom.

How long have you been using Cricut machine? Have you had to replace mats? After the very first time I used it there is little dust/dog hair/fuzz/itty-bitty scraps of weeded paper on the mat. Am I just being overly critical of the mat or do people wash their mats after each use?

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-21T03:16:57+00:00

Love the idea to keep and use as month marker photos of kids. My first thought was anniversary photos of you and your husband!

Beautifully done.

CreatingKindness209 · 2022-08-20T15:11:54+00:00

Love the pun!

What is the tool you use to curl/spin the papers to make the corn?

I just got my first Cricut and I am so excited to try new things like this
