Why is my Cricut not connecting to design space?

It is possible that your Cricut is not connecting to design space due to several factors.

First, check to make sure that your Cricut is properly connected to the power source and your Wi-Fi network. If either of these is not properly connected, the machine may not be able to access design space.

Next, make sure to check the Cricut App and the Design Space app to make sure they are both updated to the latest version. If either of these is outdated, the connection won’t be successful.

Additionally, make sure that no other devices, such as a phone, are using the Cricut’s Wi-Fi network, as this can interfere with the connection.

If all of the above are checked and are up to date, resetting the Cricut, clearing all cache from the Design Space app and restarting the Wi-Fi can help to get the connection up and running.

If all of this fails, please contact Cricut Support to assist with troubleshooting.
