AOOIINExtension Tray for Cricut Maker 3/Maker and Explore Air/2/3, Cutting Mat 12x12 Holder for Cricut Maker and Explore Air Series, Tray Extender Compatible with Grip Mat

I never knew I needed this device. After updated my craft room, I found my mats dangling, causing mis cuts & product waste. I ordered this on a whelm & it instantly improved my problem. It was easy to assemble & gave me two braces for the price of other sellers. Thanks!

This inexpensive item is *wonderful*! My Cricut machine is right on the end of a table; having this extension means no more fighting with the mats or extra vinyl, iron on, etc. I wish I would have had this sooner!

This was easy to assemble and install. I no longer feel like I need to stand by my Cricut to hold up my mat.

It fits my machine perfectly and now the cut is more precise. I love it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This works, and I do use it, but it is a little flimsy.

I use this all the time... lightweight . Easybtobassemble.

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!

Have an explorer and maker, fits both perfectly. Stores in the fold out part. Easy to use, fits mat flat. Sturdy.
