Preparing SVG files for Cricut

In DIYCutLab

1. Set Fabrication → Process to Cricut / Silhouette (or Vinyl cutting for vinyl).
2. Choose cardstock, paper, vinyl or leather that your machine can cut. Wood and acrylic are refused for blades.
3. Keep details at least 1.5 mm wide; the check flags anything smaller.
4. Put fold lines on Score / fold and lines to draw with a pen on Draw (pen).
5. Generate files and download the package.

In Cricut Design Space

1. Start a new project and use Upload → Upload image, then choose cut_files/sheet-01.svg.
2. Insert it and check the size against the part list in the instructions. If Design Space changed the size, set the width to the listed value with the lock closed.
3. The design arrives grouped by layer. Ungroup if needed and set each layer's operation: Basic cut for cut layers, Score for score lines, Draw (pen) for engrave lines.
4. Choose the material setting in Design Space for your actual material, and do a small test cut.
