Note: If this is the first time you’re hearing about the Cricut Venture, I recommend you watch my Venture Review video first at youtu.be/hP-n84Mmawk – it tells you all about the Venture, what it does, and what it makes. Lots of cool stuff! You’ll find that video over at jennifermaker.com/venture. And also, my sincere gratitude to Cricut for allowing me early access to the Venture so I could test it and make this video for you – do note, however, that I insisted on purchasing everything you see in this video, and this video is not sponsored. I buy all my own stuff, just like you do.
The Cricut Venture comes in a massive, but well packed, box. Before you open it, make sure you have a table or counter with about 34” by 42” of free space ready to place it on. In the back here is a tidy little box, and inside you’ll find the Quick Start Guide, User Guide, and Warranty Information. Note that the User Guide has a handy diagram of all the parts of the Venture – refer to this if you get stuck and can’t find a specific part I mention in this video.
Also in the box are these Roll Support brackets – these help support vinyl rolls if you didn’t get the Docking Stand, which does not come with the Cricut Venture unless you order it (and I highly recommend it). There’s also a little cleaning kit – you’ll want to do a little cleaning every once in a while, more on that later. And the power and USB cables – there’s both a USB-C as well as a USB-A Adapter in here, which is nice.
A new Performance Blade and Housing are already in the Cricut Venture in Clamp B. The Performance Blade is specially designed to withstand the high speeds of the Venture.
Lift the Venture out of the box (note that it weighs about x pounds), and you’ll see another box in the bottom – this box has a mat support extension in it for big mats. And there’s also a roll of material for your first cuts – in my roll, I had about 30 inches of black removable Smart Vinyl, and six feet of white removable Smart Vinyl. If you’re unfamiliar with Smart Vinyl, that’s Cricut’s brand of vinyl that can go into your cutting machine without needing any machine mat.
So now we head to our computer to start setup – go to cricut.com/setup to get started. Just choose Cutting Machine, then Venture. You’ll be directed to download Cricut Design Space, which is free. Just open up Cricut Design Space, go to the menu in the upper right corner, and choose New Product Setup, then choose Smart Cutting Machine, and select Cricut Morpheus. The first step is to place the Cricut Venture flush with the edge of a sturdy table or counter. It’s fine to use your kitchen counter or dining room table if that’s what you have, Cricut designed it with this in mind. You’ll want the edge of your machine to be aligned with the edge of your surface, like I’ve placed it here. Putting it on the edge like this is necessary so your materials and mats can feed smoothly without needing a lot of space – this is one of the cool features of the Cricut Venture!
