AOOIINExtension Tray for Cricut Maker 3/Maker and Explore Air 2/Air 3, Cutting Mat 12x12 Holder for Cricut Maker and Explore Air Series, Tray Extender Compatible with Cricut Mat (Extension Tray-1)

If you struggle with your cutting mats bending or falling off while using your Cricut, this extension tray is the perfect solution. I use it with my Cricut Maker 2, and it has made a huge difference in keeping my mats aligned and stable during cuts.Setup & Compatibility: Attaching the tray was super easy, it snaps right onto the front of the machine without any tools or complicated setup. It fits snugly and securely without interfering with how the Cricut functions. I tested it with both 12x12 and 12x24 mats, and it holds them evenly and without sagging.Performance & Build Quality: The tray is made of sturdy plastic that matches the look and feel of the Cricut machine. It’s lightweight but strong enough to support the mat without bending. I noticed that cuts are now more precise since the mat stays level, especially with longer materials like vinyl and cardstock.One thing to note is that this only extends the front, it doesn't provide additional support at the back, so if you're working with longer mats, you might still need something behind your Cricut to catch them. Also, it’s not foldable, so if you're short on space, you’ll have to remove and store it when not in use.Pros:✔️ Keeps cutting mats stable and prevents bending✔️ Easy snap-on installation, no tools required✔️ Compatible with multiple Cricut models and mat sizes✔️ Sturdy and well-madeCons:❌ Doesn’t provide back support for longer mats❌ Not foldable for easy storageOverall, If you’re serious about clean, accurate cuts and want to protect your mats from warping, this tray is an essential add-on. Highly recommend for all Cricut users!

I loved it because it prevents the mat from folding or falling off when it comes out of the machine.Better precision, clean cuts on longer or heavier materials. It's easy to install and remove without tools

Just what I needed! Seems like such a simple little piece but really does make all the difference in the crafting experience when using it. Would highly recommend.

Not sure how long this will last, but it works for what it was intended for. I would guess that since its plastic that it could break if left on the machine and someone set something heavy on it, but for general use, it will work just fine. I would advise to remove when not in use!

I don't own a Cricut, but have the same problem on my Brother Scan N Cut machine. I hoped it would still fit. The arm width does fit into the tray openings, however it doesn't snap in. The legs drop down to the table. They don't stay straight out to keep the mat from drooping. I was able to 'fix' this using a couple of scraps of foam packing. For now, it helps. Works better than nothing.

This item is a game changer. I saw it on Facebook I think? It really nice for my Cricut Explore 3 to load things! Great price!

I have my cricut on a monitor riser and works great for keeping the mats flat without bending.

Fits and performs well. I would buy this again. Highly recommend.
