Pair Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut Explore 3 with Windows via Bluetooth
In this guide you will learn how to set up your Cricut Maker 3 machine via Bluetooth, and Cricut Explorer 3
If you encounter the "Connect to computer via Bluetooth" screen during the Cricut Maker 3 or Cricut Explore 3 setup process, this is because Design Space has detected an AMD Ryzen chip in your computer.
There is a known issue with certain Windows AMD Ryzen chips causing issues with USB connectivity. For these computers, we recommend using a Bluetooth connection for the best experience.
NoteIf you are setting up a Cricut Maker 3 or Cricut Explore 3 machine using a Windows computer with an AMD Ryzen chip, we strongly recommend using a Bluetooth connection while using Design Space.
If you still want to use USB as your primary connection, we recommend that you use this USB Hub with your computer:
• j5create USB 3.0 7-port hub
1 - Make sure your Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker machine is turned on and within 10-15 feet of your computer. If you have a Cricut Explore or Cricut Explore One, make sure your wireless Bluetooth adapter is inserted.
2 - Most computers are Bluetooth enabled. However, to determine if your computer is Bluetooth-enabled, right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
3 - If the Bluetooth device appears in the list, your computer is enabled to connect via Bluetooth. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a USB device called a Bluetooth Dongle to allow your computer to communicate with other devices via Bluetooth.
Note:We have learned that CSR (Cambridge Silicone Radio) Bluetooth dongles do not work with Cricut machines. If you need a Bluetooth dongle for your computer, we suggest you purchase one that supports audio devices. We cannot guarantee that all dongles will pair with Cricut machines, but those that support audio devices can often pair successfully.
4 - Close Device Manager.
5 - Open the Start menu and select Settings.
6 - Click on Devices
7 - Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and click Add Bluetooth or other device.
8 - Select Bluetooth and wait for the computer to detect your Cricut machine. Select your machine from the list.
