3D model description
Hello I am RoamieTheHomie3D, I teach 3D printing, Modeling, Laser Engraving, and many other things in a Makerspace that I run. I also design my own custom holders, parts, and accessories to be used in my space. With that being said I needed to make the most of my home workshop and getting my Cricut off the table was a great way to do that!

Get your Cricut off the table, and work from the wall! I designed the mount for the Cricut system I use in our workshop, just a few screws required for mounting the brackets to the wall. You can save the indispensable space your workshop undoubtedly needs! The Cricut does function as intended on while mounted on the wall, so you can design to your hearts content and use your entire work surface for pre and post production!
You will need to mount this to a stud or solid wall if possible. I have solid wood walls I can install mine on but you may opt for a 2x4 or 1x4 that's 2ft long, I ship the mounts with hardware to attach the mount to drywall or wood. the drywall anchors I am shipping with the mount are rated for 100lbs. That's ten times the weight of a Cricut Maker 3.
The mount uses the original screws that hold the rubber feet in place, to install a wall mounting hook. There is also a ramp that sits behind the machine to keep your mat from rubbing against the wall while you are working if that is your need.
I've tested multiple designs and materials and I print these mounts in Prusament or Kingroon PETG
****INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS****
Remove the original feet that are on the bottom of your Cricut. There should be 4.
Under those feet are small screws. Remove all 4 of them and keep them handy as we will use these screws to install the new feet with the hook system.
Take the hook system and install one of the new feet with the hooks on each side of your Cricut, DO NOT SCREW THEM IN TOO TIGHT OR YOU MAY CRACK YOUR MOUNT. (Use the screws that we removed in step 2 to secure our feet). The opening of the hooks should face you / away from the wall.
Install your wall mounting brackets to the wall. If you don't have solid walls then drill a 2x4 or something into a stud and mount the Cricut to that instead. The brackets should be spaced 22 inches apart, measuring from the outside of the left bracket to the outside of the right bracket.
MOUNT IT! You should test your mount first by holding your Cricut upside down over a pillow, or the couch to ensure the feet you installed hold steady. Once you have done this go ahead and lift your Cricut and slide it into place! Now before you go crazy with all your newly gained work space, make sure to put the bracket on the back side to keep your mat from rubbing against the wall.
Happy Making!
