My project says put in the scoring blade. I have the Cricut Explore. I'm not sure what to use. I do have the scoring stylus...but not the blade with housing

That should be what it means. You put it in the second slot. Make sure press down until it clicks.

there's no pen included (the htc special pen is pretty expensive, too). the flyer works with capacitative touch styluses - the ones with the soft rubber tip. the hard plastic tip styluses do not work. i picked up a tylus that works from Staples for about $10.

This software is really old.....it is before they had the Cricut Craft Room...they no longer update the Design Studio with newer designs. I do not know if it would work on Cricut Explore, however, the cricut site for the Explore does support cutting, designing etc. is a lot newer and can do more stuff than the Design Studio did. Now, there is also some software out there you may want to check into--Sure Cuts A Lot by Craft Edge. They have developed some new software that is compatible with the Cricut Explore. I do not know anymore about it other than that---check out their website and you can email them with questions as to what all it can do for you! Hope this answers your questions and adds some additional info for you!

Hello. The only stylus I have available to me is the kind NOT for writing; it has the large rounded soft top which works well for just poking around on the screen. Just tried it out and that works, but I cannot say anything worthwhile about WRITING anything on the screen. Perhaps someone else may have experience with this? particularly with some better styli out there.

Just use their Cricut Craft Room..it is free, they have it updated to 8.1---I have 8.1 and the Craft room wasn't reading the cartridge..had to call support and updated it and worked great afterwards ( I had had Craft room for like 9 months before getting 8.1). I told the support person, would've been nice if they had sent out an email advising of an update, as it had worked ok before the update. They also now offer 9.99/month and free use of unlimited digital designs...this is good if you don't have many cartridges. Design Studio they no longer update with the latest cartridges and do not know if it runs on 8 either. Craft Room can be found on their website, though you will have to look for it as they are showing the new one for the Explorer. It is easy to download and works well. Be forewarned, the 1st time you cut with it, you will see that a pop up asks if you want to LINK your cartridge---now I had a support person tell me to link my cartridge (was on the phone with her)..and I did--there is a disclaimer you have to ok. Later I found out that the cartridge will ALWAYS be linked (linking means you no longer have to pop in the cartridge each time you want to cut). The Downside---you cannot unlink. Your cartridge is forever linked. So, if you sell a cartridge to someone and it is linked--you should let them know it is already linked and they will be unable to link it. Cricut doesn't tell you this in the Disclaimer, nor volunteer it, which I think is deceptive. I would not have linked had I known this. Luckily I found this out before linking many cartridges. Hope the info helps you.

All of the cartridges that you have already linked to Cricut Craft Room will automatically be available in Cricut Design Space to use with the Cricut Explore. You won't have to link the cartridges again.

The horizon table pc does not include a stylus.Also, this is a capacitive touch screen (like iphone) so you need to use pads of fingers or rubbery type stylus.Not like the older style TFT screens with use pens which operate like a regular pen/paper.The lenovo M92z AllInOne has smaller (23") screen but uses the cool older style pen & you can tap with your fingernailsinstead of a stylus. The Helix hybrid tablet/laptop also uses the "real" pen. These are awesome tools for artists.

It's not a stylus. It is a cartridge. You need a clear workspace, a little patience AND A CARTRIDGE PROTRACTOR. Screw those paper ones. You will never get it right. Buy a protractor for $20 or borrow a friend's.

Hi. You have to use the multiplatform and the cutting pad (a pair of two acrilyc pads). Between the acrylics put the paper and the die facing the platform.

I downloaded it on my computer but never could get it to pull up so I email SCAL and they told me that it was not compatible to the cricut mini. I bought it because the information I read said it was compatible to all cricut, they fell to say all cricut except the mini, so I have a SCAL downloaded that I can't use on my mini.

Hi James! Unfortunately, this pen is just made to replace your fingertip on any capacitive touch-screen device (for swiping and tapping, etc). We just launched a new pen that is both a gel point pen and a stylus combination, which you can see here: The Friendly Swede Bundle of 2 High Precision Universal 2-in-1 Business Stylus and Ballpoint Pens + 4 Replacement Tips + 1 Cleaning Cloth in Retail Packaging (Black + White)Hope that helps!Jessie / The Friendly Swede

Hi, That should be correct. If you purchase images online and or link your cartridges to craft room, you shouldn't need the overlay. Have fun with your cricut. DF

Anything can be used as a stylus. The monitor has sort of an optical ring around the screen that registers input. You can use a pen or a pencil, all work pretty good.

I do not know - please note that mine no longer works and after some internet research - mine is not the only one. Many on line feel they failed due to soft wear problems when updating. And you must update or some cartridges won't work on it. Cricut put me through many on line fixes that did not work - so after 2 years that's it! My personal opinion is that they let me down in a big way. I personally am so done with Cricut. Also you can only load your cartridges into one Gypsy ever - something you agree to with each cartridge as you load them - so buying a new Gypsy ( if you can find one new) is not the answer. Cricut doesn't even make them any more. For those of us who do not want to lug a computer around to create - it was a good tool for a while. Save your money.

Yes! The Cricut Explore uses the same 12 x 12 and 12 x 24 cutting mats that you currently use with your Expression or Expression 2.

I called cricut to answer you correctly, because my first thought was yes..and every time I googled explore replacement blade this one popped up, she said you can use them but cuts won't be the same since the angle on this blade is different than the carbide blade on the explore. They are waiting on the replacement blades for the explore she said. So none in stock. I hope this helps.

I have only used it as an overlay; which worked perfectly. I have also used it to make two sides, like a sandwich, with my design between the two pieces and it worked perfectly! Sorry but I have not tried scoring it.
