If you're still not getting in, maybe a computer reboot? Mike Conder

Rebooted a few times. No luck. I have reviewed my FB settings and see nothing odd. My wife just tried it and got in on her PC yet I cannot.

Yes, I was able to join with no trouble whatsoever. I was a member the same day. I don’t recall receiving any notification, but I am able to see the page and it shows up in my groups list. I have not attempted to post anything.

Dusty,
Anyone interested in the Cricut Maker for modeling may want to watch the NMRA Coast Division clinic video below: Cricut Coast Div eClinic - YouTube Ray Davis shows how he has used the Maker and gives a simple tutorial on how to draw and cut a building wall. Both Basswood and Styrene can be cut with the maker. Ray was also the primary author of an article on using the Cricut in the Narrow Gauge Gazette a few issues ago (maybe last year?). Brian

Membership is still pending and the group admin has ignored two DM's. Either I have the wrong super secret squirrel code, I've been deemed unworthy or Facebook has figured out I don't use their services enough to warrant "inclusion". Likely a combination of all three! LOL Mike

Good luck! I have been trying to join and or contact the Facebook Modeling with the Cricut Explorer for over a year now. During that year I learned my way around the Cricut Maker and the Design Space App. Sometimes you just don’t need a group!

I finally got into the Cricut Modelers Facebook Group. My first project is a small building using Evergreen .040 x .030 Corrugated for roof and siding. I couldn't cut clean thru. A couple of strokes with #11 scalpel lubed with Novus plastic polish freed the door and window openings very easily. I hate laying out the cuts on the material so Design Space was very much a relief from the dreaded layout task. I had no Design Space experience so it took a few Google searches and some trial and experience acquisition. A few test trials in #80 card stock and I was on my way.

Glad you made the move to try one out. How many passes did you make on the material? Alan

Alan,
I didn't know about defining Custom Materials at that point so I used Natural Wood Veneer (345 pres., 4 passes, Deep cut blade). Material face down. I believe that the thin, sharp #11 scalpel blade in conjunction with the Novus lube make the minor cutting very smooth, low force and accurate. I used a #4 cut flat file to clean the window corners. I posted my experience on the Facebook group and solicitated suggestions. I didn't get any advice to speak of so either they're not sharers or I'm at least close to the consensus 'acceptable' technique???????? Dusty Burman 623 261-8707

That looks great Dusty. I am working on my first truly scratchbuilt structure and I picked a doosey: 22 windows, 4 doors and multiple rooflines on a freelance stamp mill. I can see where a Cricut would have come in handy for the substructure. How did you get in the FB group though? What's the secret sauce?
