been experimenting with aluminum cans was good to be reassured the 40gauge setting i used was what you used thank you x I love recycling and re purposing thanks for the engraving tip too

It's worth noting that this is a function available on the Cricut MAKER but NOT the Cricut EXPLORE. The Explore is great for a lot of things, but it can't cut metal any thicker than foil materials and doesn't have the 40 gauge setting seen here.

Hi girly girl..I bought a cake cricket at a garage sale with a bunch of cartridges but since I don't really make to many cakes I bought all of the cutting tools for a regular cricket to covert it for crafts. Never thought about the aluminum, probably keeps the blades sharp too. Thank you and stay safe and well.

You can cut out silhouettes and use the can as a stencil for spray paints.

Hi thanks for watching. I haven't done much layering of the aluminum. I did attach two layers in this earring project with clear mounting tape. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zM7RgDdZLYA.html If you are interested in gluing the aluminum I would try E6000 glue.

Thanks for sharing your creativeness, amazing projects! Quick question if you don’t mind…are the edges sharp when cut? Many thanks
@UpcycleDesignLab
@UpcycleDesignLab 2 года назад
Hi Debra - The edges are not razor sharp but they can give you a pretty good paper cut if you handle them incorrectly. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching.

Hello! Love this idea! Curious if you can expand on how you were able to cut down the cans to sheets. I use a lot of aluminum cans in my projects and would appreciate an easier approach.

Hi Patricia - Thanks for watching. Here are a couple of videos that might help the first one is how I break down aluminum cans. And the second one is a tutorial on 3 ways to flatten the aluminum into sheets. Hope that helps. 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K4lfskYe5Ck.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fcl4moWUoqE.html

Thank you for this video and sharing your knowledge ❤ I have a quick question. Have you tried selecting more pressure when you select the material? Is that a no no? Thanks for your time. Have a great weekend
@UpcycleDesignLab
@UpcycleDesignLab Год назад
Hi thanks for watching. I believe you can adjust the pressure but you don't want the blade to cut all the way through this causes the cut edge to ripple a little. The edges are much cleaner if you weed the excess material along a score line.

I have a cricut expression will that still cut metal or do I have to have a cricut maker?
@UpcycleDesignLab
@UpcycleDesignLab Год назад
Hi Katie - I am sorry but I don't know the answer. I can tell you that you use a regular fine point blade and the thin copper setting. If you have that setting on your machine you could give it a try.
@Jana-TheCraftyGambler
@Jana-TheCraftyGambler Год назад
Do you need to use a designated blade just for cutting aluminum? Or does it not dull the blade so you can use it for other everyday materials we cut. Ie, vinyl, HTV, etc.
@UpcycleDesignLab
@UpcycleDesignLab Год назад
Hi Jana - That is an interesting question. I have not thought about designating a specific blade but recently I have only been cutting the aluminum so maybe I have done it inadvertently. 🙂 You could certainly have one blade for metal and another for vinyl. Sorry I don't know if the aluminum dulls the blade more than other materials. Thanks for watching.

Nice way to expand the machine's capabilities. I don't have a Cricut but can you not have the machine run through the whole process twice (or even just the cutting step) before unloading, to see if it will cut through the aluminum?
@UpcycleDesignLab
@UpcycleDesignLab 2 года назад
Hi thanks for your question. There are ways to add pressure and to cut more passes but in my researching how to do this I learned that cutting all the way through the aluminum actually makes the edges a little wavey so it is better to do more of a deep score line. I haven't actually tried it though so it could be worth a try. Thanks again for watching.

@quinbee_creates 2 года назад
@@UpcycleDesignLab Maybe two passes will prevent the waviness.
