Will my currently owned cartridges work with Cricut Explore™?

Cricut Explore™ was designed to work with Cricut Design Space™, rather than as a stand-alone machine. However, you can use the cartridge port on the Cricut Explore™ machine to link your existing cartridges to your Cricut Design Space™ account.

If you have already linked your existing cartridges to Cricut Craft Room®, they will automatically be available in Cricut Design Space®. There is no need to re-link them
