For impatient people: skip to the bottom where I have a step by step downgrade guide. I will start by saying that I am much more of a tech person than a crafts person. That said, when I found my original Cricut Expression in a thrift store for $20, I figured 'Ehh, I could make cool stuff with something like that'. I bought the Cricut, and when I got it home I started Googling around for what it could do. Make cardstock stuff?

OK, I can make custom sized boxes or something. OK, it would be cool to have some vynil wraps for my 3D printed stuff. Software keygen crack serial. Wait, you have to pay for cartridges and can only print predetermined shapes?

Surely someone has hacked this. Turns out, they had, and Provo hadn't liked it very much. Around 2009, there were two 3rd party software packages that worked with the Cricut Expression 1. The first one I tried was Make The Cut. I was able to find the right version, but not the plugin required to use it with a Cricut (pccplugin.dll). I then turned my attention to Sure Cuts A Lot, which included the Cricut drivers.

I eventually managed to find version 2, as 3 does not work with the Cricut. Before using it however, I had to downgrade my Cricut firmware to version 2.1 or 2.3, something I read was impossible. Thankfully, it's not! As it turns out, when the Cricut is in update mode (activated by powering the device off, holding the stop button while powering it back on, and holding it down until the device beeps and all the lights turn on), it will use whatever firmware is sent to it, regardless of whether it is newer or older than the one installed.
