Note: - An easier-to-use process for people who would rather not do everything manually is provided here.Ĭaveats - This solution is not supported or even recommended, really, by CraftEdge or by me. The content applies to the Windows version of SCAL5 as well - I have it working on my system. As of February, 2021, the original announcement can still be seen here. The instructions on this page were first published as part of an announcement on the Sure-Cuts-A-Lot Facebook Page, on April 14, 2018. This is a supplement to our articles " Using Sure-Cuts-A-Lot With Legacy Cricuts" and " Legacy Cricut Frequently Asked Questions." It describes one of the earliest sets of directions for using SCAL4 or SCAL5 to drive first-generation Cricuts directly. This article is intended for use by people who want to use first-generation Cricuts for cutting images and fonts that aren't supported by their collection of cartridges. I also tried cutting from SCAL to my Gazelle, and that works just fine.CraftEdge's Announcement about SCAL and Cricuts: I've tried with another USB cable to see if that was the problem, but same thing happens. Also, no response when I try to test connection. But still no luck - same error message saying cutting machine cannot be found. (Norwegian text - Porter = Ports) When I try from different USB ports on my computer, the Device manager seems to recognize this as the COM port designed as USB changes. I did that - and it seems the KNK driver is installed - see pic. If you don't find one, look for anything else in Device Manager that might say something like Unknown Device and/or something with a yellow exclamation on it. So, with a Cricut plugged in and turned on, right click on your WIndows start button and select Device Manager.

I have tried several - from two computers, and tried both my old Cricuts. I am confused as to what port to choose - there are a lot of COM ports to choose from - the one also marked as USB? I did as described -installed the 32 bit Version of SCAL5, installed the plugin, and the KNK driver. I just upgraded to SCAL5, and became very interested when I read this post - as I have both a Cricut Personal (v1.31) and an Expression (v2.31) which I very much would like to use with SCAL. For the Explore or Maker models, you would just use SCAL4 or SCAL5 to do this. Please note this will not work with the Expression2, Mini, Explore, Maker). You should now be able to cut with your legacy Cricut (Personal, Expression, Cake, Create). Choose Cricut in the Company Company/Brand drop down list and then click the Add to list button. After you install both SCAL and the Cricut plugin, start up SCAL, go to the Cutter menu and choose My Cutters and then Manage Cutters. Download the 3rd party plugin for the Cricutģ. Or SCAL5 (32 bit version) for Windows (note: 32 bit version will run on both 32 and 64 bit version of Windows)Ģ. You need a copy of SCAL4 for Windows or Mac This will work with SCAL4 or 5 for Windows and SCAL4 for Macġ.
